Indicate on the memo of the check that this is for the Wine and Dine Group. Your check will be returned to you the night of Wine and Dine event. If you do not show up for the dinner you reserved, your check will be kept by the Newcomers organization. It is important that we maintain good relationships with the local restaurants. If you need to cancel, kindly Pam Broad five days prior to the scheduled dinner. Consult the Newcomers Directory for contact information.

PLEASE NOTE: Fluctuating oil prices have affected many facets of our lives and Newcomers' Special Events are no exception. Understandably, the bus lines are hesitant to set prices too far in advance for trips in these uncertain times. We have currently been given a quote only for the January 22nd trip to Vizcaya with the understanding that, should prices for oil rise significantly, a few extra dollars per person will have to be charged. Unfortunately, the final plans for the February and April events cannot be made until closer to those dates.
