Sounds like a good idea.

The group presented the idea to the Augusta Commission recently and so inspired the commissioners that they asked Recreation and Parks Director Glenn Parker to make it happen. Parker, who helped judge the class entries, said they are still in the discussion stages but that the dinner is not likely to happen until next year. But he pronounced himself impressed with the project.

The students were pleasantly surprised at the response, said AU student David Peltier.

“It’s something we didn’t expect,” he said. “For us to really start putting this event in the works is something very gratifying. One of the main ideas with the event was to really engage with our young millennials while also helping the charitable causes here in Augusta.”

The proceeds of the fundraiser would go to organizations in Augusta working with the homeless.

The unique aspect of the dinner could be a draw for young people, said AU student Erin Willingham.

“Augusta has a lot of really great events. But we haven’t seen anything really new in a while,” she said. “This is something that hasn’t been done in Augusta before. And I think the novelty of it will just get a lot of people out there to support a good cause and do something fun, something they might want to share with their friends and tell people that they do because it’s exciting.”
