About the Chatham Newcomers and Social Club

Whether you’ve just moved to Chatham or have called it home for years, our club is a great way to meet people, explore the community, and make lasting friendships.

We host all kinds of events throughout the year, from book clubs, paint-and-sip nights, and brewery tours to family outings, group hikes, volunteer events, and our popular Newcomers Party. There’s something for everyone!

Our goal is simple: to bring neighbors together and build a friendly, welcoming community.

We’d love to have you join us and can’t wait to see you at an upcoming event!
