Bladen County is blessed with so many wonderful volunteers. Think of the many fundraisers, and other popular events that are held countywide on a regular basis, all the work of volunteers.
One example is the JW & Martha Black scholarship effort sponsored by the Bladenboro Rotary Club today. A delicious pancake breakfast, with proceeds to benefit a worthy high school senior with a scholarship.
Another example of volunteers doing a good deed is the BBQ plate sale from 11 AM to 4 PM at the Dublin Elementary School Cafeteria today, along with a cake auction and all proceeds benefit Darby Carroll Bordeaux, who is dealing with some serious health issues. Hope to see you there.
