History and Sweet Tooths Come Together With 

Chocolate: From the Chocolate of the Aztecs to Baker’s, Hershey’s, Cadbury, Schraffts, and Toll House Cookies



Back by Popular Demand:

Anthony Sammarco

Chocolate is made from roasted and ground cocoa beans. Simple enough, but few realize that chocolate was the “Food of the Gods” and served warm flavored with vanilla and chili powder. By the 18th century, chocolate and cocoa had become favorites in Europe, as well as in Boston. Anthony will outline the history of chocolate and explore the companies who produced it. From Baker’s, Hershey’s, Cadbury, and Schrafft’s to Toll House Cookies, this lecture is sure to please! Come early to enjoy chocolate treats at our 8:30 Social Hour!

Holiday Helping!

Community Service Committee Chair Susan Stempen delivers a check to HPC from our many generous Nauset Newcomers who donated for the

Adopt- a-Family drive!

Thank You!

Nauset Newcomers set the standard for generosity at holiday time! A huge thank you rings out for all our members who donated for Thanksgiving baskets and the Homeless Prevention Adopt-a-Family drive. You really made an impact through your donations, your volunteer efforts to pack baskets, your shopping sprees for families, and simply sharing the joy of the season! So many of our activity groups teamed up to sponsor families and shop, shop, shop for just the right gifts to make this an extra special time for people facing challenging times.

Thanks so much to all of our members!

Do You Work During the Week Or Are Only on Cape on Weekends?

Let us know if you are interested in a "Weekend Warriors" activity group! 

Some of our Nauset Newcomer members are hard at work during the week when many of our activities happen. In an effort to meet their needs, we are gauging interest in a group that would gather on weekends for movie nights, card play, area hikes, and dine outs at area restaurants. 

Is this you?
