BLADENBORO — Contributor’s page sponsorships are being accepted and plans finalized for the evening celebrating the Shipman Memorial Scholarship.
Scholarships are awarded in the names of William Dewey Shipman Sr. and Zenah Mae Clarida Shipman. Recipients are to be honored on Nov. 27.
The evening begins at 5 p.m., and will be held at the St. James A.M.E. Zion Church, 16297 Twisted Hickory Road in Bladenboro. This is in the Sandhill community. The pastor of the church is the Rev. Viola L. Freeman.
