There are a few places to meet new people. There are singles tennis parties
at tennis clubs. I know that there is a party on June 8 at the Woodbridge
Racquet Club. They only cost 14$ and you get pizza, wine, pop, juice,munchies,
and you also get to play tennis with people of your own skill level. My girl
friend went a few weeks ago and she met a lot of nice people.

Health clubs are also an interesting place to meet new people. Most of the
people who go are single. 

I also meet people in the shopping malls. I've made some real good friends
there. 

Art fairs are also a fun place to meet people. I went to one at Greenich
Village this weekend and met some very interesting people. 

I don't think people do welcome wagons here in New Jersey, because I moved
here a year ago also.
