  Did you sign up for a Special Interest Group?? Are you interested in being a Group Starter? 

We need some Group Starters for the Glenwood Lakes Area Newcomers Specific Interest Groups.  Group starters will get the specific group together the first time.  Emails and phone numbers will be given to the Group Starter.  All you have to do is plan the date, time and place for that first get together. Then as a group you will plan when you want to meet again.

Remember if you've met someone new, remind them to contact Kay at the Welcome Center to set up a visit if they haven't already had one. We want to do a personal visit with our area Newcomers as well as help them get involved in the community.

Please contact the Welcome Center

for more information or to sign up!
