Officers and directors of the Harnett County Farm Bureau present a $20,000 check to Central Carolina Community College President Dr. Bud Marchant (center, left) in support of the Central Carolina Works initiative. The initiative will fund the placing of Academic and Career Advisors in each of the public high schools in Chatham, Harnett and Lee counties. The advisors will counsel students in taking college courses tuition-free that promote their career or future educational goals while still in high school. Students will receive both high school and college credit for the courses. Holding the check are (from left) President Marchant, Harnett County Farm Bureau President Dudley Langdon, of Angier, and board member Frances Avery, of Coats. Also taking part in the presentation are (back, from left) Harnett County Farm Bureau secretary Brenda Flowers, of Spring Lake; board members Nicholas Dupree, of Angier, Keith Parrish, of Benson, and Reggie Bain, of Bunnlevel; treasurer William Dan Andrews, of Fuquay; and board members Cindy Johnson, of Fuquay, and R.H. Byrd Jr., of Bunnlevel.
