VGCC Employee Contributions Top $100,000 In Latest Drive
The Vance-Granville Community College faculty and staff contributions to the VGCC Endowment Fund have now topped $100,000, thanks to the 1998 drive which resulted in $11,747 in contributions.
The results of the drive were announced Nov. 10 by Button Brady, Diane Finch & Mary McMannen, VGCC Endowment Fund Faculty & Staff Drive co-chairpersons.
When the 1998 contributions are combined with the $89,000 contributed previously, the faculty and staff of VGCC have now given more than $100,000 to the Endowment Fund since drives were started in September 1982.
Here are the winners of the drawings and team competitions as announced:
Dot Puckett, coordinator of South Campus, won the drawing for $200 in cash.
The HIGHEST-PERCENTAGE TEAM, winner of lunch buffets at the Cracker Barrel: was PUBLIC SERVICES/VOCATIONAL: Paula Askew, capt., Jane Jackson, Angela Johnson, Ernestine Jones, Tom Long, Ronnie Roberson, and Jackie Sutton.
The MOST-MONEY-CONTRIBUTED TEAM, also winner of lunch buffets at the Cracker Barrel, was the same team!: PUBLIC SERVICES/VOCATIONAL: Paula Askew, capt., Jane Jackson, Angela Johnson, Ernestine Jones, Tom Long, Ronnie Roberson, and Jackie Sutton.
