 Volunteer for Service – Rev. Curtis Thomas of the N.C. Adventist Church stopped by the

    front desk to ask if there were any projects in the city that his church could do as a 

    service project to help the city.  I have been unable to come up with any ideas.  Do you

    have any suggestions??

   more to follow with the new school year next fall.
