Here are some of the ways that we do this:   General Meetings: Held at 9:30 the first Thursday of every month from September to June. Locations may vary depending on the theme of the meeting.   Welcome Party: Each September we host a Welcome Party to get together after the summer and to invite new arrivals to meet our members and consider joining.    Dine-Outs:  Querétaro has many great restaurants and each month we make a plan to try one and enjoy a variety of cuisines. These dinners are a great opportunity to get to know fellow club members better.   Cultural Visits: Each month we plan for either a day or weekend family trip to a nearby place. In the past these have included trips to the towns of Taxco, Guanajuato, and Zacatecas, tourist attractions like the Tequila Train in Jalisco or the Bioparque Estrella zoological park, archaeological sites such as Tula and La Quemada, and the San Rosario Butterfly Sanctuary to see the winter home of the monarch butterflies migrating from the U.S. and Canada.   Holiday Celebrations: Halloween,Christmas, Valentine's Day and Easter are the major holidays that we will celebrate, often with a family event. What is more fun than dressing up for Halloween to wrap your 'mummy' in toilet paper? Or searching for hidden eggs? The Newcomers Club is very kid-friendly and we try to make these events very special for the little ones and grown-ups alike.
