March is normally fashion month for the Newcomers Alumnae. Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, Newcomers Alumnae decided to hold its own fashion show, where its members were the models and had time to be “on the runway.”
Since clothing stores were not able to present any onsite shows, this fashion show, held March 3 at Marsh Landing Country Club in Ponte Vedra Beach, offered members the ability to wear and offer anecdotes to the group about many of the beautiful or unusual articles of clothing, shoes or jewelry.
The next monthly luncheon will be held from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. on April 7 at Marsh Landing Country Club. The event will feature guest speakers Maria Mark and Paul Herman from Beaches Watch. Established in 2004, Beaches Watch is a nonprofit civic organization providing information on local and state government decisions and issues that affect the quality of life and future of Northeast Florida beach communities. Reservations for lunch must be made by March 31 by emailing bartshar@comcast.net. The cost for the luncheon is $23. Social distancing and mask guidelines will be followed.
Newcomers Alumnae is a social group comprised of women who live in Ponte Vedra Beach, Nocatee, Jacksonville Beach, Atlantic Beach, Neptune Beach, Jacksonville and St. Augustine. The group provides an opportunity for graduates of other newcomer groups to continue growing in the community and to foster friendships through social activities.
