We welcome Monica Turner, Program Manager to the VRC family she will be responsible for developing our 0-13 children's programming, support groups and helping to expand our programming horizons, most importantly helping me. The Board and staff are so excited Monica joining us on our new journeys.
We THANK with all our hearts, United Way, Elizabeth A. Hudspeth and Cornelia "Neill" Bullock Wilkins Funds of Cumberland Community Foundation, Community Grants Fund of Cumberland Community Foundation, Cape Fear Kiwanis, local trusts, donors we could not make the difference we do without you!!
