from June 10, 2008:

Queen Thompson announced that the NAACP Legal Defense and Education Fund would hold its annual banquet this Saturday, June 14, at Friendship Missionary Baptist Church, 3400 Beatties Ford Rd. Tickets are $75.

Valerie Woodard announced that the annual Blackberry Brunch would be held June 28 at Friendship Missionary Baptist Church, 3400 Beatties Ford Rd. Tickets are $25.

Valerie Woodard announced that she was having difficulty convincing her fellow county commissioners to include in the upcoming county budget more money for prenatal care. She said C.W. Williams Health Center doesn't have the staff to do the work, and Carolinas Medical Center won't serve girls until they are 4 or 5 months pregnant. Woodard said that one CMS high school has 30 pregnant students, and another has 34 pregnant students.

 

[After these announcements were e-mailed, commissioners Chairman Jennifer Roberts wrote: "Want to send in an addition: The Commissioners have planned from the beginning to fund the pre-natal clinic mentioned by Commissioner Woodard, as she advocated very powerfully for it. She and the Chairman have been missing each other on voicemail so there may have been a misunderstanding, but this funding has not been in question."]

Nathaniel Cooper appealed for signatures on his petition to gain a place on the ballot as an independent in the November race for N.C. Commissioner of Insurance. Deadline for signatures, he said, is June 12.
