Contact us to find out how you can meet your neighbors and build community.

Just southeast of Syracuse, New York, Fayetteville and Manlius are two small villages nestled in lovely central New York. The F-M Neighbors and Newcomers is a social club for longtime residents (and newcomers) of these villages and nearby areas who want to meet new people and get involved in a variety of activities. We have daytime and nighttime activities, both weekdays and weekends. Most activities are suitable for singles; many are also suitable for couples.

Monthly luncheons are popular, as are our potluck events, dining out nights, and gourmet dinner group; the weekend breakfast club provides yet another opportunity to get together. Wine tastings are a great way to socialize and learn a little about wine at the same time. And the talented cooks in our group get together frequently to share some of their favorite recipes in our home cooking sessions.

For the active, exerobics, and hiking will keep you moving.  Cross-country skiing is popular during the long snowy season. Cards and games (dominos, canasta, bridge, bunco, scrabble, and pinochle) are also popular. The gardening group hosts hands-on events, visits regional gardens of note, and attends other green-thumb events. Our crafty members enjoy a variety of “creative endeavors.” And there is always a time and place to talk about a good book or explore some of the regional attractions (our book club, discover Central New York, Syracuse cultural events). The ladies of the group even manage to take in some “chick flicks” from time to time. This club is all about supporting its members and finding ways for people to connect through their mutual interests. Contact information for each activity is included on the Activities page.

Each year our members support community charities and volunteerism in a variety of ways. (See “Our Charities” for additional information.)

Our club is a member of the FM Chamber of Commerce (www.manliuschamber.com) and we are also listed on the Newcomers Club Worldwide Directory (www.newcomersclub.com).
