About New Friends of Kansas City

New Friends of Kansas City was established in 2002 as a social/philanthropic organization for WOMEN wanting to make friends, make memories and make a difference.  Most of our members live in Johnson County Kansas and Jackson County Missouri. Many have relocated to the Kansas City area and are retirement age. The majority of our activities are held during the day with many events offering carpooling for your convenience. Plus, if you are looking for an opportunity to give back to the community with our organized philanthropy events, while developing new friendships, New Friends is the organization for you!

Bring your favorite mug to help start a friendly conversation at our monthly Mug Mornings. Here is an opportunity for members and non-members to meet informally in a member’s home in order to become better acquainted with Board Members, Event Leaders and upcoming activities of New Friends of KC.  Perfect for guests, new members or members who just want to make new friends. Come enjoy a cup of coffee and an accompanying treat for a fun and relaxing morning visiting with your new friends. Guests are always welcome!

Socials   

The whole club likes to get together to meet and mingle for special occasions. We normally have two social events each year. Some past examples include attending a Royals Game, having a Christmas Gathering, a Casino Night and an Oktoberfest Celebration. These events vary from year to year and are always fun with an opportunity to include your partner or other friends.

Our Book Clubs are diverse groups of women who really enjoy a good book, a strong cup of coffee, and a very lively discussion.

New Friends has options for all game fans.  We have small groups that meet to play Bridge, Canasta, Hand and Foot, Bunco, Wright Patterson or National Mah-jongg, Pokeeno, Mexican Train, Pinochle and more. This is a great way to have fun and develop friendships. New members are encouraged to sign up as a sub to existing groups or start a new group. In addition there are several open/drop-in groups.
