About Woodlands Newcomers & Friends
You have friends here. You just haven't met us yet!

Woodlands Newcomers & Friends is a fun social organization that fosters strong networking within the community and enriching experiences via various interest groups.

The club is open to residents of The Woodlands and surrounding communities including Shenandoah, Conroe, Oak Ridge, Tomball, Magnolia and Spring.

Membership dues are $45 per year, which runs from April 1st through March 31st. Members who join more than halfway through the year are charged a prorated fee.

The best way to learn more about our club is to meet us! Every month we hold a coffee at the home of one of our members or a local establishment. It's a great way to meet other members or to introduce a guest. The food is delicious and the company is very friendly. Look for the next coffee date on our Calendar Events page.
