25th Annual Chapel Hill/Carrboro CROP Hunger Walk

 
4 miles. 90 minutes. 8000 steps.
 
Join us on March 27 to help end hunger in Chapel Hill, Carrboro, and around the world.

The Chapel Hill/Carrboro CROP Hunger Walk is a four-mile stroll through Carrboro, Chapel Hill, and the UNC campus, beginning and ending at the Carrboro Town Commons.  Over the past quarter century, the event has become a festive community tradition and has raised over $1 million dollars to fund hunger relief programs both locally and around the world.  25% of the money raised goes to support the IFC's food programs in Chapel Hill and Carrboro.  The remainder is used by Church World Service for it's international hunger prevention efforts.

Registration begins at 1:30 at the Carrboro Town Commons.  The walk begins at 2:30.  Activities and entertainment will be provided prior to the walk and snacks will be available afterwards. 

Bob Timberlake, North Carolina’s internationally acclaimed artist and a UNC grad, has graciously donated a special limited edition signed reproduction of one of his paintings. For every $100 walkers raise by walk day, they will be given an entry into a drawing to win the Timberlake reproduction. See the painting here:

Triangle Regional Transit Program Public Workshop- Round 3

OUR TRANSIT FUTURE
The Triangle area continues to experience explosive growth — growth that requires increased mobility demands. Improvements must be made to the local transportation systems to maintain the area's quality of life and continue to attract new industry, jobs and residents.

It's time for the Triangle Regional Transit Program, a comprehensive study effort to look at regional transit rail opportunities and explore expanded regional busway networks. The program, spanning Orange, Durham and Wake counties, is an exciting move forward toward transit connectivity in the Triangle.

Seven public workshops have been scheduled for March 22 - 31 around the Triangle to present the corridors, alignments, and station locations for public feedback.  The workshops will be run 'open house, drop in' style with information displays, staff to answer questions, and looping videos.  There is no single presentation time.  This is the third and final round of public workshops during the Alternatives Analysis period. Public comment will be taken at the workshops and online at www.ourtransitfuture.com or 800-816-7817.

GOP wasting $ in OC! Yippee!

According to http://orangencgop.org/, they are creating a permanent home in Daniel Boone Village.  I'm sure Pat McCrory is happy they'll be able to add votes in all counties, but I seriously doubt this'll have an influence on individual races in OC.
