Welcome to the Boulder Newcomers Club website!

BNC is a volunteer-run, non-profit social organization with nearly 400 members. We are a very active club, with over 30 events per month, ranging from Member Mingles to fun hikes on the beautiful trails around Boulder. We join to make new friends and have fun together while learning about our communities. We are couples, singles, empty nesters, working people, and retirees who are new to Boulder County. Feel free to explore our website! Take a look at our schedule on the monthly calendar; watch our slideshow of members making friends. If you have lived in Boulder County for three years or less, and decide we are a good fit for you, please see our instructions below for how to join the club. We look forward to making friends with you, too.

Sincerely,

Tom Ortwein, BNC President

August 2025


Our amazing volunteer teams have cooked up a fantastic lineup of events for you this August! Whether you are into social gatherings, outdoor adventures, cultural discussions, or just some
good old-fashioned fun, there is something for everyone on the calendar. Here is a quick look:

Evening Book Club – August 26 & 28
We are heading back to high school—at least in spirit—with two short but powerful reads that
still resonate in 2025:
 Animal Farm by George Orwell
 The Children’s Story by James Clavell
Join Rem and Sally for thoughtful discussions on these classics. Due to high interest, this event
will be hosted twice. Don’t miss it!

 Gadabouts – August 6 & 21
 Cool off with a swim at the beautifully restored Eldorado Springs Historic Pool
 Enjoy a peaceful walk through the Benson Sculpture Garden in Loveland
Perfect ways to beat the summer heat and explore the beauty of Colorado!

75th Anniversary Picnic – August 24
Celebrate 75 years of community with an afternoon of Friends, Food, Fun & Games!

A huge thank you to our volunteers for their time, creativity, and energy. Your efforts are the
heartbeat of our club—helping us make new connections and enjoy the best of Boulder life.
