Welcome to the SJKV Newcomers' Club!

Life is better with friends! Are you a newcomer to Saint John? Are you looking to meet new people and find interesting things to do? Saint John Kennebecasis Valley (SJKV) Newcomers' Club is for women of all ages who have moved to the Saint John and Kennebecasis Valley area in the past 2 years. We are a local chapter of a National and International organization that has brought together women from all over the world. We have a small annual fee of $25.00 for general membership or $12.50 for alumni (after two years membership). We meet for coffee, lunch, dinner, bridge, book club, moms and tots, and various other events. Get in touch! Come and meet other women who are new to the Saint John area. If you would more information on our club e-mail us at sjkvnewcomersclub@gmail.com.
Please note that SJKV Newcomers' is a scent free club. We ask for your cooperation and understanding when attending any functions organized by the club.

Mom and Tots


Are you new to the area and home with young children? It is important for moms and their children to make connections with others, especially after relocating to a new place where they may not know anyone and are not familiar with all that the area has to offer. What a wonderful reason to join the SJKV Newcomers' Club Moms and Tots group! Members of the Moms and Tots meet for playdates at a members home where the children can play and the moms can relax in a welcome environment. Occasionally we choose an outside location or go on a family-friendly outing. We share information and resources with each other about parenting tips, community events, playgroups, preschool programs and other activities. We support each other, and most importantly, have formed lifelong bonds of friendship as our children grow together and we become a meaningful part of each others' lives. We look forward to welcoming you all! If you would like to join our club e-mail us at sjkvnewcomersclub@gmail.com.
