We have established a Charlottesville Newcomers Meetup Group. It’s totally optional, and does not replace the activities we plan monthly. But if you want to see what it would be like to join in different kinds of activities with other Newcomers, this is for you.
First of all, our Meetup group is only open to members of Charlottesville Newcomers Club, so you don’t have to worry that you’ll be running into strangers. These are the same folks you see at luncheons and socials and bridge games and book groups. Your name isn’t displayed to anyone outside of Newcomers.
Second, it’s easy. Our group is at meetup.com/cvillenewcomers. Head on over and sign up. If you want step-by-step instructions, we’ve put those together for you - see the details below.
And third, our Meetup group is for you. Don’t see any activities on our page that interest you? Let us know what you want to do. Just click on the list of organizers on the left side of the page and send a message. We can help you set up an event.
So think about it – what would you like to do next week?
You will need to sign up for a free Meetup.com account and then request to join the Charlottesville Newcomers Group.
1. Create a Meetup.com Account (If you already have an account skip to Step 2)
Go to www.meetup.com and click on the Sign up button in the top right of your screen.
Enter your name, email address and a password. Be sure to save your password for your records.
Click on Sign Up at the bottom of the popup box.
Meetup.com will send a message to your email account to verify your email address.
Click on the link in the message to finalize your Meetup.com account creation.
2. Log in to Meetup.com
Now you are ready to log in to Meetup. Go to www.meetup.com and click on the Log In Button in the top right of the screen. (You will never need to Sign Up again. From now on, you will Log In and Meetup will recognize you.)
Enter your email address and password. If you do not want to log in each time, leave the "keep me logged" box checked.
You are now ready to join the Newcomers Single Meetup group.
3. Join the Charlottesville Newcomers Club Meetup
Go to www.meetup.com/cvillenewcomers and click on the Join us button.
The information requested is optional and will only be visible to other Newcomers Club members. You may respond if you wish or leave it blank.
Click on Next until Meetup tells you your request has been sent for approval.
You will receive an email message from Info@meetup.com when an organizer has approved your membership. (This may take a day or two, since Newcomers Club registration is checked manually.)
Click on the link to go to the private area of the site where you can see information about scheduled meetups, etc.
Important: Add info@meetup.com to your email address book so that Meetup emails do not go into your spam folder!
