Reunion Tickets - Contact Brenae Moore-Jones

Need tickets for the J. W. Ligon Alumni Reunion???

See classmate Brenae Moore-Jones. Email her at bjones039@gmail.com or call her at 919.841.2316.

Our president Mike Corbett is taking some much-needed time to rest and relax; therefore, we must contact Brenae by 6 PM, Sat., to purchase our advance tickets for $50. If you miss the advance purchase opportunity, you may buy your ticket at the door for $55 per person. Remember that the Reunion ticket covers the Reunion dance, Alumni hospitality suite and the Sunday family cookout. Remember also that there is an additional cookout cost for children (see June 18th minutes notes).

Wishing you a safe journey during this holiday weekend.

Scholarship Recipient

The Harriet B. Webster Task Force presented two scholarships this year. The recipients were Brian Makori and Michael Hockaday.

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.
