About Us

Mission Statement

The Grand Blanc Newcomers Club (GBNC) is a social, civic, and charitable organization for women and their families.  GBNC was established in 1960 to offer a warm welcome to people moving into the area and to acquaint them with our community.  Here we are, 47 years later and still going strong!

Club Highlights

In addition to all of the great Activity and Interest Group activities, here's a sampling of what GBNC members have to look forward to this coming year...

Monthly Luncheons

Our luncheons are usually on the second Wednesday of each month from September through June.  We dine at area restaurants and country clubs, and lunch is often followed by a program or speaker.  Childcare is available for children six months through preschool.  Details are provided in the monthly newsletters or on the luncheon page.  Reservations may be made by phone.

May in Michigan... hopefully we'll be thawing out, shedding the winter woolies, and looking for something new to wear.  What a perfect time for the Annual Fashion Show.  Each year, with the help of  local clothing retailers, our member-models hit the runway to show you what's IN for the new season.

Annual Fundraiser
November brings our Annual Newcomers Auction.  This is our main fundraiser for the year, and it's always a lot of fun.  Local businesses and GBNC members donate items for this event.  You're sure to find something you just can't live without or perhaps get a little early holiday shopping done.
 
Social Events

Each year brings something different and a few returning favorites.  This year's schedule may include some of the following:

  • Autumn Hayride & Bonfire
  • Grand Blanc Road Rally
  • Halloween Party
  • Santa Breakfast
  • Couples Bowling Social
  • Dinner Dance
  • Easter Egg Hunt
  • Dinner Theater
  • Family BBQ Picnic
  • Girl's Day at the Spa

We're always on the lookout for new and exciting ideas.  If you have an idea or would like to coordinate a social, just talk to one of our Board members.  Keep your eyes open for upcoming events in your newsletter or check for information on our events page.

Eligibility Requirements

Membership in the Grand Blanc Newcomers Club (GBNC) is open to anyone residing or conducting business in Grand Blanc or surrounding areas. Prospective members may attend up to two Newcomers activities or events, but must pay yearly dues to attend further functions. (Dues are prorated as the year progresses.)  GBNC will not discriminate against race, color, national origin, sex, age, or handicap of any person.

Dues

Annual dues are $25 for the membership year, which begins in September.  Your membership privileges include our many programs and activities, a monthly newsletter, yearly member directory, and access to the Members-Only section of our website. Of course, the best reason to join Newcomers is all the wonderful people you'll meet!
