Interesting info on several topics of interest … from here and there…
Think I mentioned earlier … reminder, Vacation Bible School plans are being announced by churches in the area…
Another topic of interest … Many Americans are reaching retirement age and some do not, or will not, have enough money to travel and do the things we often think of doing when they retire … 54.4 percent of American families have a 401k, retirement, or savings that will allow them to do what folks do after retirement. The average Social Security benefit, according to the article, is about $1,907 monthly … Inflation is the cause of some concern … FYI…
Looking back, I worked at a food store in Bladenboro … many, many, many years ago … Remember some prices … probably dates my time there … Merita or Holsum bread … 19 cents a loaf. I know, but still unreal.
Shared info … Brunswick Community College baseball team, coached by Robby Allen, is headed to Division 2 College World Series in Oklahoma … Congrats…
Big news related to Bladen County Hospital investing in a mission to continue making a lasting impact in Bladen County … More info coming…
And, congratulations to Mark McMichael … named as the new Elizabethtown Police Chief, effective June 28, 2024. He has served the department for many, many years … Current Police Chief Tony Parrish will retire after a very successful 35 year career in law enforcement.
Thanks again for nice comments about “Thoughts”…
