Groups plan benefits for Shaw family By SUE WATSON An outpouring of concern and support for young Morgan Shaw and her family of the Laws Hill community got underway last weekend with a car wash and bake sale Saturday in the parking lots of Holly Springs First Baptist Church and Christ Episcopal Church.
