The pencil recovery effort got off to a good start Monday with over 40 pencils returned. Policewoman M. Dabbs and Deputy G. Panos appealed to the concerned crowd to search their domains for mistakenly taken pencils and return them this week.

Tuesday more pencils were received as Assistant Deputy D. Tillberry supervised the crusade.

Many pencils are still missing and with only three more days to recover them, we urge you to find those that may still be lurking in your cars, purses, pockets, desk drawers, etc.

Remember the person who turns in the most authentic NCBC pencils this week will receive a free game play.
