Come recover from Halloween with us at St. Clair Fitness with a Piyo class. This is a program created by Chalene Johnson that is a yoga/stretching class that helps shape your body without destroying it in the process. No experience needed! Stay afterwards to catch up and maybe win an exciting prize being raffled off!
Deck the halls with beer and cookies!
Join us at the Collins’s home to celebrate the season with a festive beer and cookie exchange. The exact quantity of beer and cookies you should bring depends upon how many people are coming, so please RSVP early if you can.
We’re changing it up this time and meeting on a Friday night. The party starts at 7:30 and ends at three question marks. Come for the craft beer and cookies, stay to make friends with your fellow Newcomers!
Please RSVP.
Do you have what it takes to escape the room?

Cost is $28 per person ($56 per couple) and we’re still taking RSVPs! Time slots are staggered, and there are still slots available to accommodate up to NINE MORE COUPLES, so we hope you’ll join us. Is your date/spouse traveling? Working late or otherwise engaged? No problem. Head over to our facebook page and try to team up with another fellow Newcomer in the same situation. We welcome everyone!
Once we have a final headcount, I’ll post details about where we’ll meet to enjoy drinks and/or snacks before &/or after your assigned game.

Please join us on Monday, November 16 at 7:30 in Julie William’s home (300 Alamo Drive) for September’s book club meeting to discuss Judy Blume’s novel, In the Unlikely Event. Even if (or perhaps especially if) the last thing you read was Good Night, Moon, please come for the laughter, food and drinks. I know this has been written often, but if you don’t have time to read the book please come anyway. Reading the book may be an easy way to create a common connection, but forming friendships certainly doesn’t involve required reading. Please bring your favorite thing to snack on or drink!
After you get your fill of the Fall Bounty, come kick it with the USC Newcomers at our annual kickball game! Bring your family, a light snack to share with others, and your totally awesome kickball skills. Please RSVP on the website by Thursday, November 5, with the names/ages of family members attending along with the snack you plan on bringing to the event. Beverages will be provided, and there is a playground right beside the field for younger children. Even if you don’t want to play, feel free to join us and hang out.
Tuesday, October 6, 10 a.m.
Simmons Farm? Trax Farm?

Butcher and the Rye – 212 Sixth Street, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania 412.391.2752
Join us in the city for a night of drinks and dinner at Butcher and the Rye.
THE CHEF
Richard DeShantz is the chef and owner of Butcher and the Rye, in the Cultural District of Pittsburgh, PA. The two-story restaurant is a destination for its extensive whiskey collection and creative menu, which offers contemporary riffs on rustic American dishes.
Butcher and the Rye is the first Pittsburgh bar to be nominated for a James Beard Foundation Award for Outstanding Bar Program since the category was created in 2012.
INTERIOR DESIGN
At Butcher and the Rye, details carefully come together to create a unique experience that pays homage to the rustic Americana. Designed by Richard DeShantz, the space is carefully curated to complement the menu and is approached as a layering of different textures and colors.
Oil lanterns take the place of candles on some tables. A chandelier of white antlers hangs over one of the dining rooms. Tattoo-inspired murals adorn the tables and chairs. Vintage knives and cleavers are displayed by the entrance. Antique doorknobs are installed as purse hooks at the bar. A 1920’s flag with 48 stars faces the window of the other private dining room.
THE BAR
Awarded James Beard Semifinalist for Outstanding Bar Program for two consecutive years, the Butcher and the Rye boasts an ambitious cocktail program that adds depth to the Pittsburgh dining scene. In addition to three custom and locally-sourced beers on tap, 12 cocktails on draft, 30+ wines and 15+ featured cocktails, our skilled team of bartenders and mixologists have an arsenal of numerous cocktails, including many of their own custom creations.
Butcher and the Rye features two bars. The first bar is located on the main floor and features our acclaimed Whiskey Wall, boasting 600+ varietals of whiskey. Our Rye Bar is located on the second floor and features a first-come, first-served craft cocktail bar, a library for lounging and a more private dining room.

7:30 pm
Please join us to discuss Paula McLain’s novel Circling the Sun. Krystin Ciesco has graciously volunteered to host us for the evening in her home at 1620 Watterson Ct. We’re looking forward to a night filled with laughter, wine and hopefully you! If life makes reading the book impossible it’s ok, bring a bottle, dessert or an appetizer and all will be forgiven.
Grab your date, cross your fingers for cooler weather, and come chill with us. We thought we’d keep it casual for our first couples event, so dress to be comfortable for an evening of backyard fun at Ashley & Jake Collins’s house (2465 Corteland Drive).
We’ll set up the fire pit and pull out Kubb and Bocce. Play some games or just hang out and get to know your fellow Newcomers.
BYOB and a snack to share. Please RSVP.
No sitter? Head on over to our private Facebook group and ask for a recommendation. Our members know lots of sitters and we’re happy to share.
There are currently no open slots for this event. If you would like to be on the waiting list, contact Sydna Burns
