New members are always welcome to Newcomers and Neighbors of the Kennebunks. We are a nonprofit social organization that welcomes both new and established members from Kennebunk, Kennebunkport and Arundel. Our club has helped hundreds of members feel at home and make new friends.

We meet monthly and sponsor a variety of activities throughout the year including book groups, breakfast and dinner outings, ladies and men’s lunch groups, and bridge and other fun events (see our Activities page).
There is something for everyone. Please browse our activities to find out more and learn what fun it is to be a Newcomers and Neighbors member!
