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,

John Mertz, BNC President

Welcome to October, fellow BNC Members!!


October is here, bringing cooler temperatures, beautiful fall colors, and another great month of opportunities to get together to spend time with friends—old and new!

As the days get shorter and the seasons change, BNC has plenty happening to keep you active and connected. Check out our hikes, social activities, Member Mingles, Gadabouts, and more—there’s something for everyone! 


Special Events 
this month include two election forums Boulder Mayoral Candidates and Boulder City Council to help you sort through choices for the upcoming elections, Nuvania Sweat, Plunge, Socialize combining physical and social wellness, and Explorers Club: Volcanos an opportunity to continue learning about the natural world.


And don’t forget to check the calendar regularly! Many BNC events have limited capacity and can fill quickly, so register early for the activities you’d like to attend.


As always, volunteers make this club what it is! Hosting or helping plan an event is a great way to become involved, meet more members, and help keep BNC’s calendar interesting and varied.


We value your input!
 If you have an idea for an activity, want to volunteer, or have a suggestion for the club, please reach out to any board member.


John Mertz
BNC President
