New to Hickory, Granite Falls, Lenoir, Conover, Newton, Morganton or Taylorsville? Welcome to the Catawba Valley in the N.C. foothills! Newcomers of Catawba Valley is a social club for men and women where new and long-time residents explore the area and build friendships. We play cards and other games, visit restaurants and enjoy music and the theater. Most of us are retired, but all ages are welcome. Who is a member? Although some members have lived in the area for a decade or more, most join during the first three years in residence. We welcome members from the Unifour area which consists of Alexander, Burke, Caldwell and Catawba counties. What do we do? A general meeting is held on the 2nd Wednesday of each month at St. Alban’s Episcopal Church, 130 39th Ave Pl NW, Hickory, NC 28601. Meetings occasionally are held at other locations, so check the club’s calendar. We start with a Welcome at 10:30 a.m. followed by a brief business meeting and a speaker. Most of our fun comes at our many activities, ranging from bowling, book club, games, eating out and other social events where we get to know each other.
We offer a yoga studio, massage rooms, an aesthetics suite, and a small retail space with locally made items. We also have complimentary, locally sourced Appalachian spring water (and perhaps some homemade, gluten-free, organic baked goodies when we feel like baking). Downstairs you will find our salt cave and salt room. Our group cave is designed to reflect a Himalayan salt cave, while our private room is more modernly designed. Both offer you top-quality halotherapy. Outside the cave rooms we offer baskets to place your items in, giving you a sense of security while in the relaxing in the caves. Happily located in historic Lenoir, NC!
