Welcome to the Newfoundland Club

Welcome to The Newfoundland Club of California! This web site
was established December, 2002, by June
& Vern Mollan.
This site is a friendly meeting place for Newfoundlanders and friends.
Newfoundlanders in California
The people of the island province of Newfoundland and Labrador
have always had to leave home in order to find employment. In the
early days, people left to go out on the banking schooners. Later,
people left to head to mainland Canada. Eventually, some adventurous
Newfoundlanders found their way to California.
Being so far away from home, living in a foreign country, with
a new way of life, friends, and culture, Newfoundlanders often feel
that it is important to hang on to their Newfoundland roots. It
only take 2 "Newfies" to meet up for a Newfoundland Club
to be born.
