La Jolla Newcomers Club: Testimonials

"After retiring and then being away because of an illness in the family, I realized upon my return that I needed to create more of a social life for myself. Joining La Jolla Newcomers Club did just that for me. Although I tend to be an introvert, it didn't take long for me to meet and become comfortable with all the helpful and welcoming people who were already members of the club. I can truly say that I've made good friends for the rest of my life thanks to LJNC."

"After 34 years away from La Jolla, we were very excited to return and looked forward to making new friends. We joined LJNC immediately, and were thrilled to have such a diverse 'menu' of activities within the club. We cherish the wonderful friendships that have been made."

"We knew only our daughter and her family when we moved here. We know she gave a prayer of thanks when she learned that we had joined La Jolla Newcomers and that she would not be responsible for all of our social life. We have met so many interesting people and have found so many common interests. We, too, are thankful for all our new and lasting friendships."

"The first thing I do when I move is to seek out the local Newcomers Club because I know that I will be happier when I get to know people. My husband and I have been a member of five Newcomers groups around the US and the La Jolla Newcomers Club has been the most welcoming and friendly. In addition, the Board plans lots of fun activities for members to enjoy."

"Moving to a new area was exciting for us, especially one such as San Diego. We have had many moves in our careers so anticipated no trouble in assimilating into the new community. But because we were retired and had nothing to pull us into the community like children, church or national membership clubs, we struggled for a year.

Then LJNC was suggested and our social life and familiarization with the area changed. Activities we never knew were available were presented to us with lots of fun people doing them with us. We took positions in the club which even maximized our exposure to the FUN.

La Jolla is a wonderful experience for us but for our FUN and camaraderie here, we rely pretty heavily on LJNC and we are always rewarded."

"Having lived in the same community for over 30 years, moving to a new city in our 60's and knowing no one but our daughter, was daunting, to say the least. Discovering the La Jolla Newcomers Club provided us with activities that we enjoyed, but more importantly, with lasting friendships. It truly made all the difference."

"It may sound strange but when my husband and I decided to relocate from Orange County to the San Diego area, we searched for a town with a Newcomers Club. The reasons are twofold.

As a realtor in the Boston area, I had seen clients acclimate to the community more quickly and easily if they had joined the local Newcomers. When we moved to California under difficult circumstances, joining the Newcomers really made the difference for us.

The LJNC has certainly proved that moving here and joining was the right decision. The friendly people and array of fun activities truly helped us feel at home and fall in love with this fabulous community."
