"The Valdosta
Newcomers Club has been so rewarding to me. My husband
and I retired to Valdosta because we felt so welcome and at home the
very first time we arrived to look for a new home. We knew right away
this is where we wanted to live. We are within driving distance to
Florida, the beaches and many tourist attractions, not to mention the
beautiful weather. The greeting service welcomed us right away. Getting
to know the members of the club it has not only made me feel welcomed
but also needed as a friend. I have become very involved with the club
as a leader in gardening and crafting and it is very rewarding to learn
ideas from the members.
We all share something in common, we are all new here. We can all
relate to the fact that moving isn’t fun, but it is what you
do after
that, that makes it all worth it. Making this your new home and getting
involved with the community, making new friends and knowing that you
can help someone else feel welcome and at home will be your biggest
reward".
