The Goldsboro alumnae chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority Inc. held its recent May Week luncheon at the Maxwell Center, recognizing several for their accomplishments. The purpose of May Week is to emphasize the importance of higher education, especially for black women; acknowledge academic and professional achievements; and highlight community involvement during the year. Recognized for their community service were Tovares Oates, football coach at Eastern Wayne High school, and John Barnes, CEO of Rebuilding Broken Places, and members celebrating their silver anniversary.
