The Chesapeake Social and Newcomers Club Homecoming and 35th Anniversary Celebration
The Chesapeake Social and Newcomers Club's Homecoming and 35th Anniversary Celebration was held at Greenbrier Country Club on Wednesday, May 1, 2024. The slogan for this event was "Celebrating the Past, Embracing the Future." The Chesapeake Social & Newcomers Club (originally called Greetings 2 U, Inc.) was founded in 1989 when Chesapeake grew at an outstanding rate. The social group was a way for new residents to connect. Over the years, the club has evolved into a non-partisan, non-religious, philanthropic organization that strives to make a difference in our community.
