Wadsworth Newcomers Club

210 Great Oaks Trail

The Wadsworth Newcomers Club is a well-established organization with a new name. For 34 years, we were known as The Welcome Wagon. The rules and regulations of Welcome Wagon International governed us. In May, 1986, our membership voted to disaffiliate from Welcome Wagon International. We incorporated; becoming an autonomous nonprofit organization called "Wadsworth Newcomers Club".

Since 1952, our purpose has remained the same to extend a friendly and neighborly helping hand to all newcomers by introducing them to others like themselves, and helping them to become involved in the civic, social, and moral welfare of the community.

We accomplish this goal through monthly meetings, get-acquainted coffees, activity groups and socials. Each year, we complete at least one charitable, humanitarian, or social welfare project. Past projects have included Meals on Wheels and our annual craft show, The Carrousel of Crafts.

Our "mascot", the pineapple, is a symbol of friendship, which we extend to all members of the Wadsworth, Ohio community. We invite all residents, old and new, to join us in strengthening our community ties and helping our neighbors in need.

Whether you are new to the community, or are a long-time resident, Wadsworth Newcomers Club is a great way to meet other women and to do charity work for the community.
