Connections Clubhouse Annual Pottery Fundraiser, Dec. 7Newton, NC – The 2024 Connections Pottery Fundraiser will be held on Saturday, December 7th, from 8:00 am – 2:00 pm at the Connections Clubhouse Mud Shack.  The Mud Shack is located at the lower parking lot of Connections Clubhouse (1679 Southwest Boulevard, Newton, NC 28658.) Please come join us for holiday shopping and bring a friend.  Enjoy good fellowship while browsing through our handmade unique pottery.  Proceeds from the fundraiser will directly benefit Connections Clubhouse, a Catawba County program for adults living with symptoms of brain health/mental health. Clubhouse fundraising is increasingly critical for our program during a time of economic uncertainty and changes in mental health services.

Founded in 1990, Connections Clubhouse is a Clubhouse International best practice program which provides opportunities to Catawba County residents who experience mental illness to lead meaningful, connected and healthy lives. Our recovery supports include meaningful opportunities for building relationships, a meaningful place to come and return to, opportunities for meaningful daily activities including employment, as well as opportunities for leisure and wellness.  Connections is a welcoming place where people are accepted and valued as individuals and not labeled by the stigmas associated with mental illness.  Members gain the confidence and skills necessary to lead fulfilling lives of THEIR choice in the community. Serving over 55 Catawba County residents, we strive to improve health, increase opportunity and hope, and replace isolation with belonging for people most impacted by mental illness.

Our program is part of Catawba Valley Healthcare, which provides ongoing community supports for adults with mental illness.  Connections Clubhouse is one of over 350 Clubhouses in 32 countries.

Mental illness can be very disabling and can shatter lives.  BUT, with the help from our community, the Connections program actively provides support for members to rebuild and reclaim their lives.

Please join us at Connections Clubhouse for our annual pottery fundraiser on Saturday, December 7th, 2024 from 8:00 am – 2:00pm. Pick out a piece of pottery for yourself, a family member, or a gift for a friend.  Please help us spread the word about our event and bring a friend.
