New to Jenkintown?

Did you know Jenkintown has a

Newcomers Club?

Of Course we want to Welcome you to the Neighborhood!

Come out meet your neighbors and have some fun!

Jenkintown Newcomers club, We Turn Neighbors Into Friends.

Welcome to the 70 year of the Jenkintown Newcomers Club. The Jenkintown Newcomers Club brings Jenkintown residents together for social and civic activities. Any Jenkintown resident can join the club, whether new to the town or just new to the club. This year we have planned events that were popular in the past, as well as some new events that we hope you will enjoy.
Each year’s success is built around the time and efforts put in by the members who volunteer to coordinate and organize the events by joining the committees. We would like members with five or fewer years of membership join at least one committee. It is a great way to meet people! However, any member is welcome and encouraged to be on a committee.

We are currently seeking committee chairs or volunteers and host houses for the various events to take place in 2012-2013 as shown on the registration form. We are also currently seeking a Vice President for this year, 2012-2013. Please let us know if you are interested and have any questions about the position.
In addition, we are always open to receiving new ideas for events or information regarding new neighbors. Please feel free to contact us by e-mail. Furthermore, we encourage all to pass this flyer out to anyone new to Jenkintown or unfamiliar with the Jenkintown Newcomers Club. We want to thank everyone in advance for your time and interest in the Jenkintown Newcomers Club.
Sincerely,
Jenkintown Newcomers Club

Award winning Breakfasts and celebrites ordered up right in Jenkintown check out the West Ave Grille.

West Ave Grille is located just off 611 at 718 West Avenue Jenkintown 215-886-1540

They have without a doubt the best breakfast around from their Mile High French toast, my personal favorite and one of their signature dishes, to S'more Cakes for the kiddoes to Crab Cake Benedict. Is your mouth watering yet? They also serve lunch and dinner with a full Bar. Using fresh ingredients and making each meal from scratch the West Ave Grille strives to make you feel right at home.

Not only can you order the Best Breakfast in the county, you also could run into a celebrity:

As pictured here Bradley Cooper stopped into the West Ave for a bite and took a picture with the waitresses. Watch more about Bradley's connection with Jenkintown here.

Or:

The President of the United States, Yep you see it right President Obama with the owners of

West Ave Grille. That is how good the food is!

Plan your next visit to West Ave Grille by checking out their website here.

You NEVER know who you will run into next... could be Adam Goldberg creator of The Goldbergs!

Yep he's from Jenkintown too!
