Kate stole my thunder, I always find that Church is a good place to make friends and meet new folks, and walking around in your neighborhood is also good as is going to the park, Become involved with your children's school, PTA, school functions, Carnival, and volunteer to help when ever asked. I know that this may not sound like a real good place but you might be amazed at how many parents, grandparents, and their children that you meet at the local McDonald's, children play with other children, they don't have the problem of talking to one another it is us grown up that have that problem. If all else fails I would have a banner made saying, "getting to know you" and in smaller letters I would have we are new to the neighborhood and I would put it up in the front yard I would bring around the grill and fix a bunch of Hot dogs and hamburgers by some soda and play some music, Invite the neighbors. afterwards you will not wnat to meet any more for a while but will have several new friends.

As has been answered before, if you are a person with a religious affiliation then church is a great place to meet people. If not, however, then you are presented with the continued problem of where to meet people. With young children, joining your area YMCA or another such organization would give you a chance to get your 6 y/o involved in activities like soccer or other such sports. Of course there will be opportunities to meet other families from your child's school whether in the neighborhood or a private school there will be people you have something in common with. Many neighborhoods, have area swim teams in the summer and the parents meet and talk while the kids swim and then become friends. My neighborhood has a book club and a tennis ladder, and other activities which are listed in the neighborhood newsletter. My family likes boating, and has had several boats, so we are members of a yacht club, we have met many people through that organization (as lofty as the title sounds, the dues are only about $25 per month) they have monthly parties, other activities, and a childrens group.
If you and your husband or your children have an activity or activities that you like, join a club that gets like minded people together. There are also service clubs like the Junior League and other fine organizations which provide services to the city and it's citizens and still gives you an opportunity to socialize. In a large city like San Antonio I have found it to be one of the best ways to make friends. As a matter of fact I met my wife at a party for a local scuba diving club. We were planning to clean area rivers.
Good luck in San Antonio.
As there are too many clubs for too many activities in the city to list, if you would like to email me with some ideas, I would be glad to point you the right way.
Regardless, enjoy our lovely city!!

I lived in San Antonio contained in the early 60s. My niece lives there now. It has a sturdy in between moisture point. while you're from El Paso, Arizona, New Mexico you may locate San Antonio humid. while you're from Houston, deep East Texas, any of the southern states on the Gulf Coast, you will locate San Antonio has a rather dry climate. there is sufficient moisture for some greenery yet not the plush greenery of the extra humid rain crammed factors. there is mostly a probability of flash floods there. because of the fact it extremely is fairly a roving hilly area this may be a difficulty on the backside of the hills. unquestionably San Antonio has a sturdy southeast breeze. After darkish contained in the summer time, it is going to nevertheless be contained in the 90s yet as a results of diminish humidities and that southeast breeze it extremely is rather comfortable. the comparable is genuine while you're contained in the colour in the process the summer time. yet once you reside out in that solar very long contained in the summer time it could dehydratee you fairly quickly. I went to San Antonio throughout hurricane Ike. sooner or later whilst the hurricane replaced into out contained in the gulf that they had a moist day. Then the hurricane went yet another course and it replaced into very dry and delightful.

Kate has a good answer with going around your neighborhood and meeting new people. If your neighborhood has events go visit them, when you see someone down your street outside go talk to them. When my parents moved into the new neighborhood we didn't know anyone but eventually you'll get to know people around you. Since you have kids you have the opprotunity to talk to parents at your 6 year olds school. That's what my mom did and she met a bunch of mothers that live in the same neighborhood as we do. Even though i'm 21 and that was a long time ago the parents of the kids who are my age now still come over for dinner partys, barbques, football games, birthdays. My mom always says it's kind of nice that they (my parents and their friends) got to watch us (me and the other kids) grow up and graduate high school together. Now we're always going to each others houses for partys, games, or what ever.
