A Message From Oscar Seale


My name is Oscar Seale, and I am a Life Scout in Troop 5 here in Rocky Mount and am fundraising for my Eagle Scout project, which is to build storage for the Day School to hold supplies.


On Saturday, September 21, I will be having a car wash at Good Shepherd from 11 am to 2 pm. I will be accepting any cash donations for supplies to build the cabinet or things to stock the cabinet such as donations of wipes, toys, diapers, books, gently used children's clothing, etc.


Thank you for any support you can show.

Let's all get a clean car and support this excellent project.
