Newcomers of San Antonio

Newcomers of San Antonio, is a diverse group of people whose objective is to extend a friendly and neighborly hand to all newcomers to San Antonio by introducing them to each other and their new community. Newcomers also promotes interest in our city and encourages community involvement. Our mission is to extend a warm welcome to new residents who relocate to San Antonio, help them integrate rapidly into our community and develop a sense of security and belonging.

Newcomers meets the first Thursday of every month for a luncheon (except July) and the third Thursday of every month for coffee. We also have 30+ Interest Groups that meet generally once a month for a variety of activities. These groups include exploring San Antonio, book talks, cooking, bowling, bridge, bunco, dining, hiking, pickleball, golf, canasta, community service, euchre, mah jongg, movies, gardening, knit/crochet, game night, genealogy, theatre, wine tasting, and more! There are also several activities for couples to enjoy.

Newcomers of San Antonio is a social organization that welcomes residents who are NEW to the greater San Antonio area or have experienced a significant life-change event (such as a loss of spouse, divorce, retirement) in the last three years.  We have an instant social calendar that's filled with fun events to get out and enjoy and explore this energetic city!

We have over 279 members with over 30 interest groups, it’s an excellent way for you to find friends and activities to do in your new home town.

Hello, and welcome to Newcomer’s of San Antonio!

Our group has grown from 5 to over 268 members since it was established in 1981 as a way to bring together new residents of the greater San Antonio area.

We have a variety of activities to offer, from lunches, coffees, and happy hours to hiking, games, cooking, and art.  If you have a talent or an activity you do not see, we encourage you to start a group. The best way to meet members and start friendships is to jump right in and get involved. 

The support and fellowship I have received since joining Newcomer’s has been invaluable in making San Antonio my home. 

If you are new to the area or you have experienced a life changing event and are looking for support, we encourage you to join us. 

I am excited to be able to serve our phenomenal organization as President this year, and look forward to meeting you soon at one of our upcoming functions. 

And as our motto says:  

“Bloom Where You Are Planted” 

Christine Martin

President 2024-2025
