Dear Austin Newcomers,
Welcome to Austin’s Holiday season! Whether you’ve just arrived in Austin or are a long-time resident, we’re so excited to have you here. There’s something truly special about Austin—its vibrant energy, unique culture, and friendly people—and we’re thrilled you’re now a part of it
As the holidays approach, you’ll find Austin brimming with festive activities, twinkling lights, live music, and delicious local food. From the annual Trail of Lights at Zilker Park and Peppermint Parkway to cozy coffee shops with seasonal treats, this city knows how to celebrate in style. Whether you enjoy outdoor adventures, exploring local arts and culture, enjoying a local holiday play or simply hanging out with friends and family, Austin has something to offer everyone, and so does Austin Newcomers Club!
We know moving to a new place can feel overwhelming at times, especially during the holiday season, but please know that you are now part of a welcoming community. Austin Newcomers Club prides itself on its inclusivity, and there are plenty of opportunities to get involved and make new connections. Be sure to check out the online Calendar for some fun events. Our December Members Luncheon will include holiday music by a singer in the style of Bing Crosby, a fun gift exchange and a delicious lunch. Be sure to sign up! We will also have a holiday Happy Hour at the historic Driskill Hotel. Again, please sign up on the Calendar. These are both perfect opportunities to meet some new friends.
Check out some of the other fun activities going on with the Club. Some groups are taking a holiday break in December but will be back in January. As you settle into your new surroundings or just get ready for the holiday season, embrace the spirit of the holidays no matter which one you celebrate. We encourage you to take time to explore, meet new people, and enjoy all that this great Club and the city of Austin has to offer.
We wish you a joyful holiday season filled with warmth, peace, and new adventures. Enjoy Austin—we’re so glad you’re here!
Warmly,
Bev the Prez
(Beverly Tallinger, Austin Newcomers Club President)
