Even During a Pandemic
To whom much is given, much is expected. Today I was honored to meet Ms. Emelia Nazario currently attending ECU in Greenville NC studying Fashion Designing Merchandise. She also works at the Waffle House to offset the cost of her studies. Today I surprised her and her manager Josh Dexter by presenting her with a tuition assistance check to help cover the cost of her books for next semester on behalf of the Community of Excellence (COE) Community of Excellence here in New Bern NC. What a great organization!! I am thrill to be apart of such a wonderful give back non-profit organization. Stand by for our Big 2021 event TBA....Do You Know How to Play Chess....coming soon..."The Need" has no Boundaries....."What if".....
