Reservations have been made at The Piedmont Club for a diningroom overlooks downtown W-S and the Sauratown Mountains. Vicki and her husband recently became members of the club and have made all the arrangements. (This is a private event — no membership commitment of any kind is expected.) You may order directly from the menu or "prime rib special" from the Grille. Separate checks are available, and you can use your own credit card. No charge for Parking. However, give your parking ticket to Vicki that evening. (parking garage located beneath the building on Marshall Street.) A 20% gratuity is automatically added to your dinner bill, but no other tipping is needed. Reservations are a MUST! The room that is reserved is limited to 18 guests. Please call or email Vicki asap or by November 7th. This is not a 'couples only' event - any member of Newcomers may attend with or without a guest.

Meeting are held at Trinity Presbyterian Church, 1416 Bolton Street, Winston-Salem (just off Silas Creek Parkway via the Bolton Street Exit)

Our November meeting is just two days before Thanksgiving so we're going to create our own program. Thanksgiving is all about family and sharing, so we want each of you to be prepared to share the following:
**First: Be prepared to share two short stories about Thanksgiving - your worst & best memory of the holiday and why.
**Second: Bring an object with you that has great meaning to you and be willing to tell why. Maybe because of who meone who gave it to you, or where you bought it. (i.e. a piece of jewelry, a photograph, a piece of china, a small piece of art, or a favorite item of clothing).
