AHOSKIE – The Pregnancy Care Center of Ahoskie (PCCOA) will be hosting their annual Appreciation Dinner on Dec. 21.

The dinner is held each year to show appreciation to sponsors and donors who have supported the center and as an outreach to the community to promote awareness of services and engage partnerships.

The speaker for this year’s dinner is Terri Britt Watt, a native of Ahoskie and the daughter of the late Frank and Daisy Britt.
