Giving Back to Our Community: Donations to Worthy Causes
Each month's meeting features a unique program. Instead of receiving an honorarium, guest speakers choose a charity or nonprofit for our group to give to.
In previous years, Newcomers has made donations to Hope Alliance, Georgetown Animal Shelter, Friends of the Georgetown Library, Caring Place, Assistance League of Georgetown and Ride on Center for Kids (ROCK).
At the end of the year, our organization gives an "end of the year" gift to several charities. This year, Newcomers gave to the Georgetown Animal Shelter, Hope Alliance, Kids in a New Groove, and Key2Free.
