April 26, 2004

Raleigh, N.C… The inaugural North State Bank Summer Salute for Hospice of Wake County is an invitation for food, fun and dancing to The Embers.

The Honorable Jeanette Hyde, former U.S. ambassador and a member of the Board of Directors of North State Bancorp, and Mr. Steve Salisbury, senior vice president and Raleigh city executive for North State Bank are serving as co-chairs for Summer Salute, with net proceeds from the event benefiting Hospice of Wake County as it celebrates its 25th year serving Wake County.
