• Here’s an update for Brunswick County residents on the latest regarding the outbreak within the county.

For today’s good news story, I’m highlighting Amanda Fontana of Wilmington’s Sign Gypsies, who set up displays of signs in Brunswick County for seniors graduating this spring.  This is a special time for so many seniors across our district, and it’s great to see many who are stepping up to ensure they get the special recognition they deserve.
