How to help the recent fire victims

December 16th, 2011

As you may have heard, a family living at Raleigh North apartments suffered a fire early Wednesday morning, sending two of the kids to the hospital for extreme smoke inhalation. The family lost all their possessions and are in need of assistance from the community.

Here are the sizes for the children and mom in case there’s anything you can donate. They will be staying with a family member for the time being but may also be looking for affordable housing in the area soon.

If you’re able to help in any way, please contact Michelle (michellegill1981 at hotmail dot com or 919-758-2000) as soon as possible.

Remember to vote Tuesday!

October 5th, 2011

An important reminder from my fellow CAC chair Philip Poe of the Five Points CAC:

In 2009, only 11% of the voters in Raleigh found the time to cast their votes for the Raleigh City Council and Board of Education. Check your calendar and make sure you block off time to make it to the polls next Tuesday.

A page containing voter information was just posted on the Five Points CAC website. It will give you quick access to your voter information and ballot, voter guides, broadcast times for candidate forums on RTN10, endorsements and information about the transportation and housing bond proposals.

Do you have neighbors that require assistance getting to the polls? Consider organizing a neighborhood shuttle to help these folks vote.
