History 

On March 13, 1968, with approximately 60 women present, the Newcomers Club of Madison and Guilford was established. Mrs. Stanwood Dolph and Mrs. Paul Stoddard, the Welcome Wagon Hostesses, were the original founders.  The club grew rapidly during the first five years, making it necessary for the group to divide into two separate clubs, one for Guilford and one for Madison. 

Our Mission

The mission of The Madison Newcomers Club is to offer new residents of Madison a place where they will find a friendly environment, welcoming women, and an opportunity to learn about their new town.We will seek to create an atmosphere in which our members will feel a sense of belonging to their club and to the Madison community at large. Our aim is to help the members become acquainted with one another, through opportunities for all to participate in a wide array of special interest groups, committees and club activities. We also will provide the members the opportunity to take an active role in the civic and social welfare of their town, through civics projects and fund-raising endeavors aimed at benefiting the needs of Madison.

BOARD OF DIRECTORS

The MNC is run by a Board of Directors. The Board is run by a President and has approximately 6 members. Each board member has a specific set of responsibilities and holds her position for one year. 

During the spring of each year a new board is elected for the following year (Sept– Jun).

Anyone interested in joining the board can contact a current board member in February to be nominated for a position.
