Scholarship Recipient
The Harriet B. Webster Task Force presented two scholarships this year. The recipients were Brian Makori and Michael Hockaday. Our class donation supported the $500 scholarship to Michael Hockaday (on the left), a Wakefield High School graduate and the son of Marie Hockaday and Gerald Richardson. Michael will attend the University of North Carolina at Pembroke where he will pursue a major in Biology; Mike plans to p
be a pharmacist. His scholarship application indicated that he volunteered numerous hours as a tutor at the Raleigh Safety Club After-school Program on Branch Street in Raleigh and at the Central NC Food Bank, also in Raleigh. Congratulations to these young men as they continue their education and service.
