Hickory – On Sunday December 8, 2024, the Hickory National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) will hold its annual meeting. This meeting will be held at 3 PM at Hartzell Memorial United Methodist Church, 465 S Center St, Hickory North Carolina.
At this special monthly meeting, the Branch will review activities and events of 2024. A brief business session will be followed by a PowerPoint presentation that highlights the activities of various committees and the Branch as a whole: which included presenting scholarships to local high school seniors, mentoring elementary school students, supporting homeless veterans, educating and registering voters and more.
After recognizing some individual accomplishments and installing newly elected officers, the meeting will close with an optimistic hint of what is anticipated as the Branch serves City residents in 2025.
Members of the public are invited to attend.
