Welcome to the "BNC" a non-profit social group of more than 300 residents (new and not so new) of Brunswick County, NC, serving Southeastern North Carolina including Southport, Boiling Springs, Leland, Shallotte, St. James and the surrounding area.  With so many members it's not hard to find someone who likes to do the same sort of thing you do.  Travel, wine tasting, exploring local restaurants and interesting sites, the BNC's mission is to provide opportunities for socialization in order for members to make friends and learn about this beautiful part of the country.  

We currently have a general (membership) meeting on the 3rd Tuesday of each month from September thru May at the United Trinity Methodist Church, 209 E. Nash Street, Southport, 9:30 - 11:30AM.  You will have the opportunity to join the club at these meetings, as well as sign up for our many events, we also have a guest speaker from the local area. 

We do not meet in December or June-August summer months.  Membership dues starting in September are $20/pp for the year.   If you would like to learn more about BNC feel free to contact us at brunswick.newcomers@gmail.com and we will reach out to you to discuss our club. 

ALSO, IF YOU ARE A PAST MEMBER AND WOULD LIKE TO REJOIN, WE WOULD LOVE TO HAVE YOU BACK.  WE DO NOT HAVE A RESTRICTION ON HOW LONG YOU CAN STAY A MEMBER.

Have you ever wondered what happens behind the scenes to make BNC's activities, events, trips, lunches, socials, and meetings so successful?  Here's your chance to find out!  Immediately following the General Meeting on Tuesday, November 17, stick around and meet the volunteers who help make the magic happen. Current Officers and Committee Chairs will be available to share what they do, answer questions, and explain how you can get involved. From leadership positions to activity committees, there are opportunities to match every interest, skill level, and schedule. Come explore. Come ask questions. Come discover how rewarding it can be to help create the friendships, fun, and sense of community that make Brunswick Newcomers Club extraordinary. No pressure. Just possibilities.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Some members have reported receiving emails that appear to come from me, but when you hover over my name, the actual sender is someone else. These messages claim I am traveling in Hawaii (I wish!) and ask you to purchase gift cards. This is a scam. Neither BNC nor I would ever request monetary donations or gift card purchases.  Please refer to our website for the official Give Back to Brunswick donation list, and if you are ever unsure about an email, contact brunswick.newcomers@gmail.com to verify its legitimacy.
