For the last fifty years, the Augusta Area Newcomers Club has been a welcoming place for residents to connect, build friendships, and engage in enriching activities. Each year, the club selects a local charity to support, with members raising funds and volunteering their time to make a difference. This year, their efforts are dedicated to RISE Augusta, an organization that provides programming and resources to help children succeed in school and life.
The highlight of the club’s fundraising efforts is their annual spring event, happening this March. This special gathering brings together members and the community for a night of giving, all in support of RISE Augusta’s mission. In past years, the club has successfully raised thousands of dollars for local nonprofits, demonstrating the power of community collaboration.
“Our members are passionate about supporting causes that truly make a difference,” said Susan Salisbury, past president and co-chair of the Publicity Committee. “RISE Augusta’s work in empowering children through education and mentorship is something we’re honored to support.”
Beyond fundraising, the Augusta Area Newcomers Club offers over 30 activity groups, monthly luncheons, and social events that foster strong community ties. Whether new to the area or simply looking for fresh connections, the club provides a welcoming environment for all.
The Augusta Area Newcomers Club invites everyone to be part of their efforts this March in supporting RISE Augusta. For event details and membership information, visit www.augustanewcomers.net or contact Susan Salisbury at 317-847-7216.
