2025 Veteran's Day Banquet
Featuring Williamston Community Schools Superintendent Adam Spina
Dr. Spina gave a very thoughtful insight into military service, his 20 years in the Army National Guard, and his deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan; experiences that helped to shape his life's work in Public Education.
It was a capacity crowd including many Veterans who were sponsored by area donors: Jim Conroy, Narda Murphy, Steve Jenkins, Jim Carr, Frank & Linda Siciliano, Rick Shuck and Earl & Deborah Wolf. We would also like to thank Bob Stephenson, Ben Eichler, American Legion 296, and Pastor Jen Ward of Williamston U Methodist Church.
