I think you sounded great! Made lots of sense to me! I actually saw it three or four times... it was on in the background all afternoon.
They had some nice shots of Summerfield (Park sign, Gordon's store, Brittan Bldg. etc) and they informed everyone that it would be on the council's agenda on Tuesday.
You're a star!!!!!

| Macca I think so. I have Direct TV so I can't see it. I gave him the history on some of the buildings and advised him to go and see the park but I guess you can't get everything in.

No on the public access channel thing... I think you're talkin' about channel13 the government access channel. Public access is channel 8, and TV 14 is called NC14 Carolina... It's a time warner news channel that runs all day like a local CNN.

Dear Friends
Late this week, it was made known that Becky Strickland and Gail Dunham had
written letters to Ms Kathy White at the Recreational Resource Services
asking the PARTF grant funds for the park Phase II be denied. Copies of the
letters are available. (Note: if anybody wants a copy, send me a PM with your email address)
While this news is disappointing, let's keep in mind Friends For Summerfield
is a POSITIVE organization dedicated to fact based responses of negative or
incorrect information. We support the park, and want to take appropriate
action to see the grant approved. We do not support or recommend a
"positive letter writing campaign" to RRS at this time.
FFS leadership team will be following the developments over the next few
days, and after more information is available, will assess what positive
actions we may take as FFS, and will certainly keep you informed.
Yours for a better Summerfield
Steve Adkins

I had the best time tonight at the Summerfield Fire department. Troy, Chris, Chief Boykin, just to name a few that were there, showed the FFS a great time. The new trucks are phenomenal. The guys answered a lot of my concerns about the burn building and it proximity to the school. We should feel much safer about our community with these dedicated people watching out for us.

I enjoyed that field trip too Jane! Woo Hoo!!! What a nice bunch of fellas! That Brian is a HOOT! Shane, Enson and the young man who told me what a "class A" fire was  (sorry, didn't get your name!) were so informative!!!
I learned a lot about the burn building too. I had mixed feelings on it before going to the presentation. On one hand I was concerned about the smoke and the proximity to the school, but on the other hand I wanted our firefighters to have the best possible training. After seeing examples of burn buildings and how they work, I feel a lot better about it now.
I'm gonna make it a point to start droppin' in from time to time to see what new gadgets they have and what improvements they've made. I'm real proud of all of our fire fighters!
I think the message they most wanted to get out to the public by inviting us to visit was that they are here for us and they encourage visitors. They really want the community members to stop in and see all that they have to offer, so drop in and see them!

Coming from a military family as I have makes me think of things differently.
When listening to people talk of the Burning building training center I can only think of one thing. This is a training facility for our soldiers to have the best training possible to make it back home alive when the real thing hits. If this saves or helps to save only 1 life no amount of money is too much! Period. I support the Firemen for this reason.

| That's great bunch o' people at the fire department. Summerfield's luckier than most folks know. Pappy has larned a thang er two 'bout burn buildin's. I'm a-thinkin' the pros o' havin' one where they been talkin' 'bout puttin' it outweigh the cons by a wide margin.
