Who We Are

The Newcomers Club of Tucson is an organization of more than 400 vibrant members who desire to be socially, intellectually and physically engaged in the Tucson community. For more than 50 years, Newcomers has provided opportunities for members new to Tucson and those whose lifestyles now allow them to expand their social circles.

Although Club membership is open to all genders, the organization has historically been, and continues to be, primarily a women’s social club. Spouses and partners are warmly welcomed as guests at couples-oriented events (such as Dine-Out or Jolly Hour) as well as many general interest activities, including museum tours to the Pima Air and Space Museum, Biosphere, Titan Missile Museum, and more.

The following is a sampling of just a few of our activities...

  • Luncheons and speakers
  • Jolly Hours
  • Meet Me activities
  • Hiking
  • Bird Watching
  • Book Clubs
  • Museum Tours
  • Cultural and historic tours
        •  Mahjong
        • Social Bridge
        • Catan
        • Art Projects

        ... and samples of the calendar of monthly events:

        All members are encouraged to set up new activities to expand opportunities for socialization.


        The Newcomers Club of Tucson has been welcoming new arrivals to Tucson and the surrounding area since 1968. Club membership currently is over 400 vibrant ladies. The Club’s goal is to promote friendships through a variety of social settings, events, excursions, and get-togethers. There are also opportunities to learn about the history of Tucson and the surrounding area. Members enjoy attending local current cultural events or attractions, or they may opt to simply enjoy the camaraderie of new friends amidst one of the Club’s many groups. Visit Activities for more information and descriptions of current interest groups. These activity groups are varied to support many interests, and as a member of Newcomers, anyone can easily form a new group.

        A highlight is the Club’s Luncheon. It occurs at an area country club or restaurant and feature programs of fun and interest.

        While most members are truly new-to-Tucson, like other newcomer clubs, The Newcomers Club of Tucson has expanded its outreach to welcome those not-so-new residents who are looking to expand their social circles.

        Care for Members

        The Newcomers Club of Tucson promotes a Newcomers Care program to support members in times of need. Club members are ready and willing to assist in a variety of ways--driving, visiting, or preparing a meal.

        Care for Community

        Tucson boasts a vibrant network of nonprofit organizations, each offering unique ways to get involved and make a real difference.

        From preparing bagged lunches for a local men’s shelter to touring a nearby horse rescue and learning about its needs, our members have come together to support a wide range of causes and community initiatives.

        These experiences not only enrich the lives of those we serve but also strengthen our own sense of community and purpose.

        Website and Facebook

        Our website features membership pages with a member directory, an interactive activities calendar that facilitates real-time event news and registration, and a place to find others with interests like yours. Our member only/private Facebook page is a platform where members can connect with fellow members in a variety of ways. Discussions on Books, Movies & TV Series, Activities in Tucson, Food & Drinks and Arts & Crafts are just a few of the popular features. Meet-ups are also made and encouraged on our member only site.
