She has cared for the needs of our ‘Grand Old Lady,’ patiently, efficiently...thoughtfully...” After the presentation club members received their copies of the yearbook.

Although the club will take a summer break, they will be collecting “move in essentials” for My Sister’s House and classroom essentials for the Boys and Girls Clubs of the Piedmont - Statesville.
