NEWCOMERS CLUB
Our longest-standing club (70 years and going strong) is designed to help individuals and families settle into their new life in the Darien and Norwalk communities by fostering connection, friendship, and fun.
Throughout the year, members enjoy a mix of adult social events - like happy hours, book club, mahjong and game nights, cooking classes, and fitness-based workshops — as well as family-friendly gatherings, including seasonal playdates and festive holiday events around Halloween, Christmas, Easter, and more.
Members typically have young children (infant through elementary school), or no children at all.
If you're looking to meet new people and get more involved in your new community, Newcomers is a great place to start.
