The Newton County Boys & Girls Club rang in the New Year with its inaugural New Year’s Eve Masquerade Ball.
Music echoed through the entrance way as guests arrived along with a photo booth and Hors d’oeuvres.
For Nakita Williams, NCBGC Club Director, the evening was full of memorable moments.
“Since we opened in June of 2019, the community has embraced our cause. There was plenty to soak in at our first event,” she said. “The highlight moment of the evening for me was looking around to see all the people that support our Club. I reflected over our first year open and how each of these community members have changed a life this year.”
Williams added being a part of NCBGC personally has impacted her purpose.
Throughout 2019 youth have made their way to the NCBGC for friendships, mentorship, field trips, and impactful programming.
“Our teens have built lasting relationships with staff which create a trusting environment where our teens can share their thoughts, feelings, and needs,” she said. “Our teens have shared that the Club has helped them feel more confident personally, in school, and is a safe place to be. We couldn’t have created this Club without community support.”
Guests danced the night away until the midnight hour as all gathered counted down to 2020 a year set to continue serving the youth of Newton County at the Club.
