“Community spirit is alive and well in North Carolina's Fifth District. The Forbush High School Band Boosters are creatively working toward the goal of replacing decades-old band uniforms and equipment. Booster volunteers have been fund-raising for this project for years because the $30,000 price tag goes well beyond a single year's budget. In their effort, they reached out to Dewey's Bakery in Winston-Salem, and the two have teamed to open a special Dewey's fund-raising store in Yadkinville, North Carolina, much like fund-raising stores operating for other schools in Clemmons and Boone. Mr. and Mrs. Clate and Josie Wingler of Yadkinville graciously donated a storefront, and right now Band Boosters are there, selling wonderful Dewey's products, as they will be until Christmas. The entire Yadkinville store is run by volunteers--band members, parents, grandparents, and community supporters; and more than one-third of the store's profits will go directly to the Forbush High School Band. This level of teamwork, spirit of volunteerism, generosity, and commitment to local communities is a testament to the wonderful people living in the Fifth District. 75th Anniversary: National Industries for the Blind”
