This is a pilot project for new VWNC members who are seeking to make the most of their experience with the Club and their new hometown.

Joining a newcomer’s club when you move to a new community is a great first step to take to meet new friends and get involved. But it is not easy! A buddy system is the practice of pairing a new member with a more seasoned member.

Someone who can help you get familiar with the club, the city and the culture as you transition to a new community. It can be a bit nerve-racking to make a dramatic change so having a friendly face around to ‘show you the ropes’ can help make this transition a little bit easier.

We believe that our buddy program will help you build new relationships, foster a better understanding of our club and all that it offers while offering you insights and information. This is a learning exercise for the VWNC so any feedback you have along the way is welcome.

To be a buddy or need a buddy just a few pieces of information are needed. Your name, your contact preference (phone or email), your neighbourhood and what activity(ies) are most important for you in seeking a buddy. Email our membership team: Alison Patch or Kathy Campbell at: VWNCmembership@gmail.com.

Thank you for your interest and have fun!
