The Kelowna Newcomers Alumni (KNA) is a non-religious, non-political, activities-based club, run entirely by volunteers.

Our membership is open to anyone who has been a member of the Kelowna Newcomers Club (KNC) for at least two years, and their spouse or partner.

The mission of the KNA is to continue the friendship and activities from KNC and make new friends.

Membership fees are yearly (renewable on August 15).

The KNA consitution and bylaws can be found here.

KNA volunteers organize a range of regular activities, from arts and culture outings and bowling to golf, bridge, wine-tasting groups and dragon boating. 

In addition, we offer events that may include, seasonal special functions, such as a welcome back event, a wine & cheese, a dance and a Christmas dinner dance! 

From September through June we organize monthly meetings, where all members have a chance to meet and mingle, and learn more about our many activities and the events . At most of those meetings, we feature a special guest speaker to help us learn more about the geography, economy, history, and other aspects of our new community.

From the Board of Directors to the dozens of activity coordinators, everyone who makes the KNA work is a volunteer. And we count on new members to donate some time to the organization as well.

We also expect all members to be welcoming, courteous and respectful of their fellow members.
