Announcements of some major donations are also likely.

A social hour starts at 6:30 p.m. and the concert starts at 7:30 p.m. and will feature two sets. The first set will feature SweetWater singing several gospel melodies, ballads and classic songs from the 1950s and 1960s.

Sen. Brasch meets with constituents in West Point

District 16 State Senator Lydia Brasch spent the better part of Friday visiting constituents in all three of the counties she represents – Cuming, Burt and Washington.
Her final stop of the day was in West Point, where about 20 people turned out to hear what was in store for senators during the 2014 legislative session.
The senator said the new session will be tight and busy, noting that it’s a 60-day session and there are a number of items that were carried over from 2013 that will need attention in 2014. Add to that a likely lively discussion on taxes, and it makes for some hectic days ahead.
