We suggest you say:

2. So nice to meet you and glad you joined us.
3. Pick out something in their BIO, that makes it personal ~ You have a lovely name, I too have ___ So sorry you were diagnosed with TN, but glad your here with us. You have a beautiful daughter, etc.
In addition to this section, I might say, You will love the friends you meet here, they are awesome. They are so nice and kind.
