LUMBERTON — Volunteers are needed to help organize a Martin Luther King Jr. Day parade in Lumberton next year.

An organizational meeting will be held sometime in October.

The event was held for the third time in January. In addition to honoring the civil rights leader, the parade raised money to purchase new playground equipment for W.H. Knuckles Elementary School.

Anyone interested in volunteering should contact Eshonda Hooper at 910-734-2314 or [email protected].
