We are fortunate to have supportive groups like the Forty and Eight in our community.”  Committed to charitable and patriotic aims, the “Forty and Eight” is a fraternal and charitable Honor Society of American Veterans whose name comes from the French railroad and its 40/8 boxcars.   If you are interested in learning how to support Brunswick Community College students, please call Executive Director Elizabeth Wassum at 910.755.6530 or email [email protected].
