ABOUT US

Welcome

Newcomers & Neighbors of Winston-Salem, Inc. was organized for the purposes subsequent to section 501(c)(7), a nonprofit social club, to promote friendship among women in the greater Winston-Salem area, encourage social interaction, and offer opportunities to become familiar with the area. We schedule social events, provide charitable services, offer programs of local cultural and educational interest, and encourage participation in a variety of activites.

June General Meeting

Location: Trinity Presbyterian Church, 1416 Bolton Street, W-S, NC 27103 

Date/Time: Tuesday, 6/23/2026, 10:00-10:30AM

Program/Speaker: Estate Planning, Mike Wells, Attorney at Law


We are honored to welcome Mike Wells, Attorney at Law, as our guest speaker for this meeting to provide valuable insights into Estate Planning. While many of us may feel confident that our estate plans are already in place, attending this session could either give you full assurance or reveal additional steps you might need to take. 


This information is also relevant for adult children, friends, or neighbors who may benefit from learning more about estate planning. We encourage you to invite them to join us for this portion of the general meeting. According to Google, 45% of U.S. adults have created some estate planning documents. Without even a simple will or living trust, much of your legacy is left up to the courts. This can keep your loved ones from inheriting the property you want to leave them.
