We'll be back at the Country Club Friday at noon for a regular Club luncheon meeting.  Our program will feature Michelle Strong, a Middle School Outreach Specialist with Crosby Scholars. She serves the students at China Grove, Corriher-Lipe, Southeast, Erwin, and West Rowan Middle School. 

Daniel Matangira,  local businessman, community icon and a friend to everyone he meets. Daniel described his childhood in a village in a war-torn country of Zimbabwe. His personal journey included Dr. Denise Pruitt and his wife who made it possible for Daniel’s parents to bring him and his siblings into the United States and get an education.  Not a dry eye in the room as we all realize how important it is to count our blessings and how being in the service of others is so impactful.
