Welcome to Lake Bluff & Lake Forest!
The Lake Bluff/Lake Forest Newcomers' Club was founded in the late 1950's to promote friendship among new residents as well as to help them become active members of our community.
The Newcomers' Club has more than 150 members and a wide variety of ongoing activities. Getting settled in a new community can be a daunting task, and we hope that the Newcomers' Club can be of some help to you in making you feel right at home and part of the community.

February is here already! Doesn’t March mean springtime???
Well it does everywhere else, but we try our best not to worry about it.
This month, don’t use the cold weather to make excuses
for staying indoors. We have a February calendar full of
events to keep you busy. In the spirit of Valentine’s day
we have some fantastic date nights planned. On February
6th we will have our winter wine tasting at Cellar Gate
featuring American food and wines from Washington
and California. Our evening social group has organized a
Casino Night on February 20th featuring craps, roulette, and black jack. Our
men’s group will be enjoying an action packed fun evening of Whirlyball on
February 26th. Whirlyball can best be described as a little bit basketball, a bit of
lacrosse, with bumper cars thrown in for good measure. Your husband will sure
be disappointed if you don’t mention this to him!
Our February luncheon will be Thursday, February 18th from 11:30-2:00 pm. It
will held at Inovasi, a new Lake Bluff restaurant featuring contemporary
American cuisine. The luncheon will feature a presentation by The Mustard
Seed, a fair trade shop in Lake Forest. Many of the indigenous cultural crafts
available at the store will be on display.
A Nominating Committee has been appointed and they have already begun to
recommend new officers for our Club next year. Thank you to Cindy Cary for
heading up the committee. If you are interested in being on the board next year,
please let us know. It makes the job a lot easier for the Nominating Committee.
So if you want to be part of the Newcomers’ Board, feel free to nominate
yourself!
Happy winter! Stay warm!
