Speakers
We schedule a wide variety of speakers, usually two at each meeting September through May of the membership year.  Our June Spring Celebration features a special program.  Last minute emergent scheduling issues, however, can result in changes.  Here you will find the presentations scheduled for the membership year 2024-2025.  When you click on the colored text, you will link to more information about the speaker, organization or both.  Below the current schedule, we list subjects or organizations that have been represented by speakers at past meetings to help you see what NBNC offers.
 
Club members have the opportunity to log in and hear speakers they have missed or want to hear again by selecting Meeting Videos section at the lower right portion of the Home page.

NORTH BRUNSWICK NEWCOMERS CLUB

HANDS ACROSS NEIGHBORHOODS

Moving to a new city or state or even changing neighborhoods can be difficult and very stressful. You are probably leaving behind family and friends, as well as your favorite shops, stores, and routine events. While the North Brunswick Newcomers Club cannot fill all the voids you might be experiencing, we can come close. We are a social club that meets the 2nd Friday of each month from September through June. We begin at 9:30 a.m. with a "meet and greet" complete with refreshments, giving us the chance to mingle and extend a friendly welcome to those new to the club. Each meeting features at least one speaker or entertainer. We search for programs that will help members become more familiar with the area, its culture, history and lifestyle. At most meetings, we also have a speaker from the community tell us about special programs. Many speakers describe volunteer opportunities for those of you looking for an avenue to become involved in your new home town.

Meetings are held at:
Leland Cultural Arts Center
1212 Magnolia Village Way
Leland, NC 28451
