Group glide around downtown Pittsburgh! No experience required! Segway in Paradise has created a private, 1 hour narrated tour for us for $35 that starts with 30 minutes training at 10am. From there, we will roll around downtown seeing sights of our city. You must be able to stand on your feet for up to two hours and wear a flat bottomed shoe with closed toe. No big purses! Personal items must fit in the small Segway basket.

After the tour, we’ll dine in Bucca Di Beppo, each member buying her own meal. Those who want to stay and shop around Station Square can…those who need to get back to Upper St. Clair by 2:00pm can!

SPACE IS LIMITED! RSVP for the day by Monday, September 29th on this Newcomers page then immediately buy your tour tickets here http://segwayinparadise.com/booking/event-booking.php?date=2014-10-01&serviceID=23&eventID=5426

Please join us at Ashley Collins’s home (2465 Corteland Drive) for October’s book club meeting to discuss Elizabeth Little’s novel, Dear Daughter. 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.

RSVP here.

Join us for a game of family kickball!

Bring your family and a light snack to share with fellow Newcomers as we “kick” off Fall in Upper Saint Clair. Please RSVP by Thursday, October 2nd 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 just to hang out!

In 2014, Fall begins on September 22 at 10:29 PM.

A few hours before, let’s celebrate the LAST LUNCH of Summer, and the FIRST LUNCH of the 2014/2015 Newcomers Club year!

Join us for lunch at Il Pizzaiolo in Mt. Lebanon (703 Washington Road) at noon on September 22.

Weather permitting, we’ll dine outside on the stone patio surrounded by lemon trees, trickling fountains and trailing ivy. If it’s raining, we’ll lunch indoors by the artisan built pizza oven.

If you’ve never been to this little restaurant, you’re in for a treat! If you’ve dined there before, treat yourself to some happy chat with new friends and neighbors!

Before or after our lunch, savor a stroll along the shops of Mt. Lebanon. Parking on street or several public garages nearby. Want to carpool? Note that in your RSVP and someone will pick you up!

Please RSVP.

Please join us at Cucina Bella for September’s book club meeting to “discuss” Gillian Flynn’s novel, Sharp Objects. 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.

Our first general board meeting will take place on Wednesday, September 10, 7:30 at Theresa’s house. She’s at 1331 Redfern Drive in Deerfield Manor. Please RSVP!
