I enjoy reading and hearing about area students attending the Beta Club meetings in Greensboro. If we can ‘hold it together’ til these youngsters are ‘in-charge’, I think we will be in good hands. Congratulations to all Beta Club members, advisors, parents and supporters. You make us proud.
Over the years I have had the pleasure of serving on the Bladen County Board of Commissioners, worked with commissioners statewide, covered the local board for BladenOnline. I attended last nights meeting just for the ‘heck’ of it and little has changed. Lots of important business, some routine business, and some business taken care of behind closed doors. Thanks to the board and staff. May not agree with all decisions, but those elected make the decisions. Same as it has always been.
Check our coverage of local government meetings last night.
Pray for all our leaders, local, state and national.
We all have leaders we looked up to, among those for me: Gov. Jim Hunt (D) and Gov. James Martin (R).
