Local Sales Tax on Nov. Ballot
Look for New Faces....
Hopefully New Members
Ms. Ree Phillips deserves a second picture. She began her Stanly NCRSP membership in 1984 and is the last of those Charter Members still with us. In other words, she was already a member of NCRSP BEFORE some of today's new retiree guests even began their teaching careers!!!!
Today's Scholarship Raffle items were a hit. Mr. Denton works for the NC Education Lottery and as an employee is prohibited from participating in the lottery, but he is permitted to do raffles like ours and he bought a ticket and WON!!!
School supplies for a Stanly elementary school
Chef Dwight's buffet spread did not disappoint. Charter Members, members over 90, and new retiree special guests lead the procession. Look carefully and you can see an alternate line in the very back for those folks who chose to hit the dessert table first.
