About Us
Our Meetings: New Horizons members gather twice a month at the First Church of
Lombard in Lombard, Illinois (click on "Meeting Map" above for address and map).
For these meetings, we hire professional speakers to discuss investing, sports medicine,
fitness, relationships and many other topics in which members have an interest.
Sometimes, in lieu of a speaker, we plan a dance, a charitable auction, or another type
of activity that promotes our getting to know each other better.
New Horizons’ Membership: Currently we have over 200 members aged 40 and up
with the number growing each month. “Alumni members” are those who met and
married someone in our group but who want to continue to share our experiences, and
we are delighted to have them. However, we are primarily a singles group.
The New Horizons’ Experience: Whether you are divorced, a widow, a widower, or
have never been married, at New Horizons you will find others with your same shared
life experience. We encourage camaraderie, conversation, and enjoying life. You will
probably do things you never thought you would do and one day may find yourself
calling your family to say, “I went on a canoe trip and I’ve never been in a canoe in my
life.” “Last week I started to learn to swing dance and line dance.” “The week before,
I went out to dinner and to a play.” We also have a charitable side. Depending on
individual interest, some of our members pack food for the needy at the Northern
Illinois Food Bank & other Activities.
Social Events: A sample list of our activities includes biking, hiking, dancing, golf,
canoe trips, white water rafting, plays, community service activities, Halloween party,
Christmas party, Barn Dance and more. We have had trips to Las Vegas, Germany,
Italy, and a cruise in the Caribbean. The variety of events is much too long to mention
everything here. Our approach to social events is simple: if members have an interest,
we try to make it happen.
Cost: New Horizons is a non-profit corporation. No one is salaried. Our organization
functions through members volunteering to accept responsibility for our administrative
needs. Membership is just pro-rated, see application for cost. The yearly fee pays for
the New Horizons expenses like website, insurance, room rental, etc. In addition, some
activities may charge a nominal fee to help cover the cost of room rental, catered food,
etc.
Affiliations: New Horizons is not affiliated with any church, religion, political group, or
civic organization.
Everyone is welcome: We are a group of individuals who enjoy life and getting to
know others. We would welcome the opportunity to get to know you too!
