SEANC members and staff recruited 106 members at 19 agencies in Wake County as part of a massive membership blitz in late February. Stops included Division of Motor Vehicle offices, State Highway Patrol garages, Department of Public Safety training sites, the Secretary of State’s office, the State Capitol Police and the N.C. Museum of Art, among others. Here, SEANC Member Relations Representatives C.J. Stephens and District 70 Chairman Benny Brigman discuss SEANC with perspective members.
SEANC’s Board of Governors heard a moving speech from Dr. Mary Rice-Crenshaw (center) of the Dunbar community in South Carolina on Feb. 26 about the impact that supplies donated by SEANC had on flood victims there. The flood relief drive was an effort started by District 26 and its chairman, Stanley Gales (pictured at left). SEANC districts all over the state, along with Sam’s Club in Durham and volunteers from N.C. Central University, pitched in to load and deliver two truckloads of goods to Dunbar. Her husband is pictured at right.
On Feb. 13, District 39 members participated in the Polar Plunge on the North Carolina State campus to raise funds for Special Olympics North Carolina athletes. Pictured are Sherry McFeaters, District 39 Chairman Doug Skinner, Paula Thompson, Mrs. Wolf and Mary O'Neill.
