The Newcomers' Club of Lake Bluff & Lake Forest is a all-volunteer organization founded in the 1950's to promote friendship among new residents and to help them become active members of the community.  Today's Newcomers' Club has over 200 members and a wide variety of ongoing activities - something for everyone!  

Getting settled in a new place can be a daunting task, and we hope that the Newcomers' Club can help you feel right at home and part of our wonderful community.
