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

July 2025



We added 49 new BNC members so far this year (listed below) and 36 graduates to Emeritus; please join us in welcoming them. 


You can register now for the BNC AND BNC-EMERITUS 2025 ANNUAL SUMMER PICNIC AND 75TH ANNIVERSARY, AUGUST 24TH! (This does not count towards your 4 registration day events.) We would like to include past BNC/BNC-E members to join us in celebrating the 75th anniversary of the BNC. If you know any past members who would like an invitation, please forward their contact information to: bouldernewcomersclub@gmail.com


The volunteer teams have a great menu of offerings for you this July. The calendar includes a broad array of social, sport, gadabouts, and cultural events- 5 mingles, 4 hikes, Girls’ Nights, Beer Knights, Lectures, Film and Book discussions, and Games. Following our successful golf gadabout in June, we have our first “Social Bike Ride” this month, an outing for kayaking & stand-up paddling, and a joint BNC/BNCE for a mile-long table event.

A big thank you to the volunteers for  the planning and facilitating of all these events. These efforts are what makes this club a success in helping us forge lasting friendships, and getting the most of what Boulder has to offer.


We want to hear from you; we want your ideas and energy! If you have thoughts about events and/or just want to get more involved, just drop a line to: bouldernewcomersclub@gmail.com
