Executive Officers for the 2025-2026 year:
2025-2026 President GAIL KRYWE 
WELCOME MEMBERS
The San Ramon Valley Newcomers & Friends is a beautiful way for both new community members and those who have long lived in the area to make new friends. The club’s purpose is to enrich the lives of its members and to foster new and lasting friendships.
We have a wide variety of social activities and events to offer our members. You can be as active as you like or you can ease into an activity. Our monthly Newsletters outlines all activities with dates, times and locations.
We are always welcoming new members and encouraging new friendships, while having fun, and participating in activities.
The great success of our club is due to the generosity of our members who share their time and creativity for the events planned each month. Also, the dedication of our Board Members who work throughout the year planning events, overseeing the club’s operations and making San Ramon Valley Newcomers and Friends a successful club.
I hope you enjoy the comradery of the club and I encourage you to actively participate in our many activities. I look forward to the coming year as your President. Please feel free to contact me with your thoughts and interests. I welcome new ideas!

TRIBUTE TO OUR PAST PRESIDENTS
On behalf of the Executive Board, Committee Chairpersons, Activity Chairpersons and all who volunteer, we would like to say “Thank You” to our past President’s for their dedication and commitment to the San Ramon Valley Newcomers Club. Because of your leadership our club has been going strong since 1967.
We cherish each and every President for the time and friendship they have given to each of us. Even after their service, they continue to volunteer by serving as Chairs and on many Committees.
While our list is too long to mention everyone, here are the past Presidents of the last 19 years.
Thank you again for your leadership and making Newcomers such a fantastic club.
