Meet the New Canaan Newcomers Club [Q&A]

By |

This month, NewCanaanite.com is publishing Q&As with local service organizations—volunteer groups that give back to the community while offering connection, camaraderie and fun. 

We start with the New Canaan Newcomers Club. 

Here’s our exchange with the nonprofit organization’s president, Amanda Sainsott. ***

New Canaanite: Please give us some background on the Newcomers Club. How and when did the organization start? Amanda Sainsott: New Canaan Newcomers Club was founded in 1957 as a not-for-profit organization with the mission of connecting new residents to each other and to the community. Our goal is to provide resources for new residents in an effort to help them build a community while settling into a new town.
