The Newcomers enjoy having a good time together and exploring our new home! Here are some of the ways that we do this:

General Meetings: Held the first Thursday of every month from September to June at 9:30. Locations may vary depending on the them 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.

Cultural Visits: Each month we plan for either a day or weekend trip to a nearby place. In the past these have included trips to Bioparque Estrella - a zoo-fari for the whole family, Archaeological Ruins e.g., Las Ranas, Guadalajara and the Tequila Train, and the San Rosario Butterfly Sanctuary to see the winter migration of the monarch butterflies from the U.S. and Canada.

Dine Outs: Querétaro has many great restaurants and each month we make a plan to try one and enjoy a variety of cuisines. We have been to Argentilia (Argentine), San Miguelito (Mexican), and Cavala (Italian Fusion).

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 are very kid-friendly and we try to make these events very special for the little ones and grown-ups alike.
