Community service award returns to Wilson museum
The Daily Ardmoreite
High school seniors in Wilson will have the opportunity to log some volunteer hours and possibly win $500 beginning next month. The Wilson Historical Society plans to extend their community service award into the summer and give teens a chance to make a big difference in their small town.
“The last years that it’s been given out, they started when school started. But this year we’re giving them the opportunity to start on June 1 and that way they’ll have more of an opportunity to get their hours in with us,” said Dottie Stearns, vice president of the Wilson Historical Society.
