HEADLINE STORY
Monday, November 10, 2003
GREENVILLE, SC - An unexpected special assignment
to Iraq has required Lt. Col. Oliver North to reschedule
his attendance at the Shannon Forest Christian School
(SFCS) Annual Fund Banquet, previously scheduled for
Friday, November 21, 2003. The event has been rescheduled
as a highlight of the Christmas season on Friday, December
12, at the Palmetto Expo Center in Greenville, South
Carolina.
The Director of Development at SFCS, Steve Whaley says,
“We were informed by Col. North’s office
that his duties as Fox News war correspondent and host
of War Stories, have required him to leave for an unexpected
special assignment to Iraq. Regrettably he will not
be available for our November 21 Annual Fund Banquet.”

allow him to be with us only three weeks later,”
continued Whaley. Fresh from his return, North will
arrive in Greenville to attend a rescheduled event,
sharing his perspective on life from this volatile region.
He will also share his deeply moving Christian testimony
and his passion for Christian education.
All other details of the previously planned evening
will remain the same. Greenville’s Liberty Corporation

“Shannon Forest Christian School is a school of
academic and moral strength at a time when America needs
broadly educated, morally grounded leaders,” said

intellectual exchange and renewed support for this fine
institution.”
