Tony Collins, former ECU and NFL player, will be the speaker at Wednesday’s Raleigh Sports Club luncheon. Collins is known for speaking to young people about the importance of academics.<\/p>\n
In a previous speech, Collins said, “It’s so important for these kids to understand how important the academic side of this thing is and for them to understand that, man, if I do good in the classroom, I do good on the football field, or what ever sport that you play, now I have an opportunity to go on and play at the college level.\u201d<\/p>\n
Caroline Garrett, a volleyball and track star at St Davids School, will be honored as the Student Athlete of the Week.<\/p>\n
The RSC will be honoring all veterans at Wednesday’s meeting. There will be a special presentation and recognition of those individuals who serve and have served in the military. <\/p>\n
The club will participate again this year in a Thanksgiving Sharing Project to help our less fortunate neighbors with donations of non-perishable food items which will be donated to Midway Baptist Church\u2019s program called \u201cGod\u2019s Pantry\u201d.<\/p>\n
Please bring your non-perishable food items to the Wednesday meeting.<\/p>\n
