With its first visit in January of 1995, Welcome Friends has visited new families in our community with a personal home visit and a packet of information about our community.

In 2011, we expanded our target audience to include new homeowners, newlyweds, parents of new babies and new business owners. Our purpose is two fold: to welcome these groups and to promote local, hometown businesses.

The generous packet has four folders highlighting civic, tourism, and church facilities and activities, plus merchant coupons, special offers and small gifts - ALL FREE.

Welcome Friends has been featured in the Cleveland Daily Banner and Bradley Weekly.
