North Brunswick Newcomers Club
A Community Conversation: Bringing Folks Together
One of the common questions asked when neighbors get together for social events is, “Where are you from”? And as shown in the data above, folks in Brunswick County are from all over the United States - nearly 50% from outside North Carolina.
One of the organizations working to help folks learn more about the community and region in which we live and to meet neighbors is the North Brunswick Newcomers Club. We were fortunate to have the opportunity to talk with Debbie Mansir, President of the club, about their activities and the local organizations they support through charitable contributions.
