President's Message

Welcome to our Club’s website and, to our area’s new residents, welcome to Richmond. We are a social club and we welcome all women living in the Richmond area to join us.

Whether you are new to Richmond, recently retired, or recently single, you are experiencing a great change in your life. Finding new friends, especially if you are over 50, can be difficult. Each or our members found this club to fill a need - was lonely or bored, wanted entertainment, wanted to find a card or game group, wanted a book club, etc.

Our membership has a wide variety of interests reflected in our available activities. From physical endeavors like kayaking or hiking, to book clubs, to games like mah-jongg or canasta, to foodie groups. Members host a variety of monthly or weekly Interest Group sessions or one-time events. Clicking on the Event Calendar in the Event menu pull-down on the home page will display a typical monthly calendar of events, including our monthly Membership Luncheons.

In addition to our Interest Groups and Membership Luncheons, we choose and raise funds for a local charity each year through the efforts of our Philanthropy Committee.

We would love you to get to know us and join our family. Just contact our VP Membership, Barbara Stoldt, at membership@newvaclub.org. 

Hope to meet you soon,

Kay Jacobsen Smith

President 2024/2025
