Mrs. Averitte’s thoughts about Mebane Charitable Foundation-
“My forty-year association with Allen Mebane provided many valuable lessons, some through experience and some from observation. Two of the most recent, and perhaps the most consequential: the importance of giving back to others from that with which one has been blessed; and the fact that age should never be used as an excuse to rest on your laurels - find something you are passionate about and work to effect change.”
