I had the privilege of representing Family Violence Project in accepting a Community Service Award from the Kennebec Valley Chamber of Commerce at its annual dinner in the Augusta Civic Center.

I am a fourth-grade student at Rutgers Preparatory School in Somerset, N.J. Our class is learning about the states and capitals. I would like to learn more about what it is like to live in Augusta proper. If any of your readers would like to write a letter telling me about life in Augusta proper, it would help me learn more about the capital of Maine. Thank you for your help with my project.
