During the months of July and August, NBCC collected school supplies for the Craven County PreK and Family Literacy Program. The children in this program are 4 years old and must qualify by being developmentally or emotionally disabled, limited English proficiency, or economically limited.
The Club has been engaged is this effort for seven years. This year members donated 144 lap blankets (for nap time), 186 backpacks, 320 pocketed folders, 90 spiral notebooks and 54 boxes of tissues. Maureen Comer and Judy Lopez (pictured in the center) again served as co-chairs.
The supplies were picked up and delivered to the PreK program by NBHS basketball coach, Calvin (left), and football coach, Terrence (right). A large pickup truck was filled with the supplies. Thank you to all the club members and community people who donated to this worthy cause.
