The ACC men’s golf teams donated a variety of books to the Communities in Schools of Montgomery County as part of the ACC Community Connections initiative. This year the Atlantic Coast Conference instituted an initiative known as ACC Community Connections, which pairs ACC teams and local schools to teach the importance of reading and other life lessons to the children in our championship communities. Rhonda Lambert, Senior Site Manager of Communities in Schools of Montgomery County, accepted the donation of books in a brief ceremony Thursday, April 21 at the clubhouse of the Old North State Club.
