Interest Groups

Acton/Boxborough Newcomers & Neighbors is made up of a number of Interest Groups that are open to all members. These groups allow members to pick and choose what type of activities they want to get involved with. To find out more about these groups please read the group's overview below.

Do you have a special talent or interest? If you have a particular interest that is not shown here and are prepared to lead that group please contact the President at president@abnewcomers.org.

The following Interest Groups are active:

Volunteers wanted: Men's Night Out and Lunch Bunch

 

 

Book Group

See next scheduled event

Read, think, meet, eat; ask, share, laugh--repeat! Book group is a great way to relax with a good read, then share an evening with friends who want to know what’s on your mind. You needn't be a “regular”-- come when you can, just RSVP to the host. We meet at members’ houses throughout the year.

  Contact Susan Spector at book@abnewcomers.org

Community Information

See next scheduled event

A new group will be forming to provide community information to the rest of Acton/Boxborough Newcomers & Neighbors.

  For more information contact outreach@abnewcomers.org
 

Dining Out

See next scheduled event

Another interest group that is back by popular demand!!! The ABNNC will once again be "Dining Out" every other month. This is a group of people that don't want to fire up the grill, turn on the stove, and set the table for one Saturday night every other month.

  To find out more about Dining Out please contact Shirlee Stein at dinner@abnewcomers.org

Dining In

See next scheduled event

A great way to meet and eat!  Join ABNN members in their own homes and get to know people more personally than in larger group activities. Enjoy great food and conversation in a relaxed atmosphere.

Several dinner parties run simultaneously on the first Saturday of each month. The parties are usually for 6-8 people with the hosts providing the entrees and soft drinks and the guests bringing appetizers or desserts. Each dinner is BYOB. Members of the group can attend as many dinners as they want and are asked to host an evening only once during the year. Come and join us, it's lots of fun. 

  For further information, contact Peggy Molander at inhome-dining@abnewcomers.org or 978-697-5344.
 

Ladies’ Night Out

Ladies Night out offers a variety of fun social activities with good company and conversation.  In addition to providing your significant other with an opportunity to bond with the kids, LNO gives you the chance to have an evening out attending all  the fun activities LNO has to offer such as dinner, movies, evening trips, cooking classes, pottery and so much more!

   Wine Tasting

See next scheduled event.

The Wine Tasting Interest Group is all about... having fun!  By the way, we also taste wine.  The format is generally a gathering at a member’s home, 5 or 6 wines ranging in price from modest to moderate ($12 - $30).  There is usually a theme to tie them together.  Light hors d'oeuvres are provided by attendees.  Cost is $15 - $20 per person, which covers the wine and some additional snacks.  Lot's of conversation, some of it about wine, maybe a fun game.  Very casual - no wine snobbery is allowed.
