“If helping others reveals the best version of ourselves, then accepting help gives others a chance to reveal their best.”

That got me thinking about New Neighbors and what it has meant to me.  Yes, we have fun activities and events to participate in, but getting to the heart and soul of it all is the ...

As I write this, I have been a Texas resident for exactly eight years. And a New Neighbors member for over seven. Moving to a new state, I needed to find a purpose, and friends, women with whom I could explore my new home, share adventures or a meal, and laugh a lot. I found that all when I saw an ad for a book club th...

Moving to a new area, or experiencing a change in life as I have, gives us new opportunities to make new friends, and with them come new memories. The following quote, by William Butler Yeats, embodies what New Neighbors of Greater Round Rock means to me, “There are no strangers here; only friends you haven’t met y...

I lived in Round Rock for 4 years before joining Round Rock New Neighbors. I wasn’t really looking to join any group but started talking to a lovely lady and her husband at a local fish fry who invited me to join her at a RRNN luncheon.  That one conversation has led me to meeting some super ladies, making ...

A few weeks later I went to breakfast and two kind souls, who h...

I came to Texas in 2016 without knowing a soul, very sad to leave all my friends behind.  Within a few months I met a woman who told me about New Neighbors. Being desperate for friends my age, I jumped on it.  This club was a life saver!  I first attended a Coffee, and no sooner walked in when several wo...

I moved in with my daughter and her growing family in 2018. I was introduced to RRNN by way of Beth and Stella. Stella took me to a luncheon introducing me to so many ladies that my head swam. The Gardening Gals was my first group to attend and from there it has turned into go, go, go, making new friends and seeing new...
