Newcomers Welcome

Purpose:
The SCA Board established this committee to welcome newcomers to the Summerfield Community.

Membership:
Chairperson, board liaison and 19 members representing their geographical area of Summerfield.

Responsibilities:
A committee member who is a neighbor of the newcomer calls to welcome them to the community. They deliver a packet prepared by the chairperson, which gives them pertinent information about Summerfield activities, governing by-laws and helpful resources.

Meetings:
Welcome Receptions are held in April, July and October to give the newcomers the opportunity to meet new people, learn how Summerfield operates, and hear from committee chairs about the different activities available to community members. Refreshments are served and a tour of the clubhouse is offered for those who are interested.
