It was a commitment that ended his life a year later as he searched a smoke and flames for the residents of a burning home in Woodbridge.
During the month of August, the Prince William Republican Committee conducted a
back-to-school supply drive to benefit some of the County’s neediest students. The Committee collected
enough supplies to fill 10 large boxes, and delivered them to Occoquan Elementary School and Rippon Middle
School.
Items collected included backpacks, pens, no. 2 pencils, water-based markers, glue sticks, three-ring binders,
pocket folders, and loose-leaf notebook paper. Community service has been a focus for the Prince William
GOP this year, and this project was the Committee’s latest activity. Any Prince William County resident can
participate in the Committee’s Community Service Initiative no matter what their political affiliation is.
Last year, the Committee collected 9 large boxes of school supplies and delivered them to Vaughn Elementary
School and Fred Lynn Middle School, both Title I schools.
