The Chatham-Harwich Newcomers Club currently has over 800 members. To be a member, you must be a part-time or full-time resident of Chatham or Harwich. You do not have to be a "newcomer" to Chatham or Harwich. Many of our members have lived here many years. The cost for an individual membership is $25 and runs from September 1 through August 31. There is no family or group membership. Each person must join individually. Dues are not prorated. However, if you join the Club in July or August, your membership fee will cover you for 14 months or until August 31st of the following year.
Member input is a key factor why the CHNC has been so rewarding and so successful. We have bimonthly general member meetings to encourage as much input from members as possible. If you are not a member but are interested in attending the next CHNC general meeting to get more information before joining, please send us an email at chnc02645@gmail.com.
Below is the member application process:
- When an application is received, it's reviewed internally to validate that the applicant is a Chatham or Harwich resident.
- Once residency is confirmed, the application is then approved.
- An email and invoice are sent to the applicant.
- When the invoice is paid, an official email is sent out welcoming them to the Club.
