DID YA KNOW!!
Since 1960, Newcomers Welcome
Service has been welcoming
thousands of newcomers to their new
communities. The free Welcome
Packet is sponsored by local
businesses and full of informational
brochures, generous valuable gifts
and coupons and information about
the Chelsea community Laura
Murphy, Chelsea Representative,
who has lived in the Chelsea area
since 1990, provides information and
answers any questions to help a new
resident get comfortable in their new
area. The welcome packages are
personalized for new residents. Laura
visits each resident, at their
convenience, and goes over the
contents of the packet in about 30
minutes. This sounds too good to be
true! What's the catch? There is no
catch. We aren't selling anything.
