Last
week there was an error in this article
about Dr. Fred Nelson’s and Dr. Russ
Redd’s annual fund-raiser for the Wake
Forest Boys & Girls Club. The club does
not have a mailbox and cannot receive
mail. Therefore, patients at
Chiropractic Partners on Ligon Mill Road
are asked to give their $15 donations to
the receptionist – and more would be
better. The doctors plan to present the
donations to Hugh McLean at the Steak &
Steak Dinner on March 27.
The fund-raiser runs the
week of March 19-23. The doctors are
offering free adjustments to existing
patients, and new patients will receive
free consultations, exams, even X-rays
if necessary. The catch – if a
worthwhile objective can have one – is a
suggested donation of $15. Make those
checks out to the Wake Forest Boys &
Girls Club.

Local supporters of the Wake
Forest Boys & Girls Club – and there are
many – are urged to purchase tickets now
for the Steak & Steak Dinner Tuesday,
March 27.
The keynote speaker will be
Dewayne Washington, who played football
at Northern Durham High School and N.C.
State and was then drafted by the
Minnesota Vikings.
Washington was a defensive
back in the NFL for 13 years with the
Vikings, the Pittsburgh Steelers and the
Kansas City Chiefs.
He is back in the Durham
area, club director Hugh McLean said,
and interested in working with youth in
the area because he attended the Durham
Boys & Girls Club.
“It’s a cool event,” McLean
said of the dinner, because Washington
will be the only adult speaker. Instead,
the featured speakers will be the young
people, the club members, who will
describe seven or eight of the programs.
The dinner will begin at 6
p.m. at the club at 325 S. Wingate St.
Tickets are $15 for an individual, $25
for a couple. Checks should be made
payable to the club. |
