Peninsula Newcomers Club |
|
Welcome to the Saanich Peninsula! Since 1987 the Peninsula Newcomers Club (PNC) has helped women settle in to their new community on the Saanich Peninsula. From regular indoor and outdoor social activities to special functions, we offer something for every taste. So explore these pages and find out how the PNC can help you fall in love with your community and all it has to offer. The Peninsula Newcomers Club is active from September to June, with many activities continuing through July and August. |

Activity FAQ: I have signed up for an activity group that interests me but what’s next?
Once your name is on the list of members interested in an activity you will automatically start to receive emails from the convenor (who is also a PNC member). These emails will alert you to when and where the group next meets. Some groups such as Tuesday Trekkers, Monday Morning Hikers and Wednesday Waterfront walkers meet every week on their named day. Others meet once per month and locations will vary. Others such as Special Events are scheduled depending on the activity but typically happen four to five times per year.
The important thing is to register for the activity so that you receive information about time and place in a timely fashion. Also, if you change your email its important to update your profile accordingly.

10 Ways to get (and GIVE) more to your PNC!
It is surprising how much time and effort is required to run an organization of 275 members. We need everyone to pitch in and help in some small way. We encourage you to help the PNC by volunteering with us. It is a wonderful way to meet people and become more involved with our organization. Here are 10 possibilities for you to join in and help:
1. lead or co-lead an activity for women to join in
2. help the executive with their administrative duties
3. set up tables and chairs and decorations at monthly meetings
4. host a welcome tea for the brand new members
5. pick up donated baskets at Thrifty’s each month for prize draws
6. compose and send thank you notes to luncheon speakers/ organizations
7. bake your favourite goodies for welcome teas, monthly meetings or other events
9. offer your tech skills to help the executive and/or new members navigate the website
10. greet new members at monthly meetings or events
You may have some other ideas… and we’ll post more ways to volunteer in upcoming newsletters and here on the website.
Thanks in advance :)
