Anyone who is a full time or part time resident of Cape Coral. You can be a full time resident or snowbird.

 There is a one-time cost of $60 for individuals or $120 for couples to join the New Residents Club. Everyone joining will be placed in a Group made up of other new Members joining that month.  Commonly, the Groups number two to four dozen.  Each Group selects their own unique Group name and Group leader and holds their own activities, as well as participating in the events held by the New Resident Club as a whole.  

After joining the New Resident Club, you will be invited to attend the New Member Social, currently scheduled the 1st Tuesday after the general meeting. This Social provides an orientation explaining the history of the New Resident Club and reviewing the activities planned and how to purchase tickets. It is important that you attend this social, if possible, to help select your group name and group leader, and to meet others who will be in your group.

We strongly recommend that you start with the new members’ Group formed in the month you join, for it is the goal of the club to help you meet new people and make new friendships.  Since all Groups will be participating in activities scheduled by the New Resident Club, you and your friend are free to participate in any or all of these activities together. 

The easiest way to join is online at capecoralnewresident.com.  You also can attend a General Meeting held Jan, Mar, May, July, Sept, and Nov 2025 on the 1st Tuesday at 6:15pm and Feb, Apr, June, Aug, Oct, and Dec on the 1st Thursday at 9:15am at the Lake Kennedy Center (400 Santa Barbara Blvd) – doors open 30 minutes prior to meeting start.  It is recommended that you come early to sign-up, since the General Meeting begins promptly at 9:15am or 6:15pm.  At the general meeting we review the upcoming activities and enjoy hearing different guest speakers each month about local interests and topics.  It’s a good opportunity to socialize and have complimentary snacks.
