it will be $27. for non-members, $25. for members for the monthly

Membership: The members are women of a variety
of ages and interests. I have attended all the Newcomers groups
and found this one to have the most variety in ages as well
as business and career women - probably because the meetings
are in the evenings.

Insider Info:
This is the only Newcomers group who wisely go to a different
venue every month. This was a tremendous help in getting me
oriented to a new home!
Any ‘Newcomers’ is a good contact group for many of our local
businesses. These women are new to town and looking for good
local products and services. The VENC Newsletter sells inexpensive
advertising and is available online to the entire membership.
Business card size ads are $15. or $50 for 10 issues, classified
ads are $5. per issue. (Non member ads have to be approved for
publication so as not to compete with those placed by members)
Contact the Newsletter Convener for 2005 -06 Cathy Korpella

on topics of interest. Contact the Program Convener for 2005
