Hurricane Preparedness Week is upon us. Getting ready just in case is important.

You can send your comments to the insurance commission by email at [email protected] OR mail to Kimberly W. Pearce, 1201 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, N.C. 27699-1201. Email or mail must be received by 2 February.

Driving around town, I realized many cars don't have the nice yellow Carolina Shores recycling center windshield sticker. The town maintains a recycling and trash collection center adjacent to the town hall and it includes an engine oil disposal container. This service is free to town residents. Stickers can be obtained at town hall.

Thanks to all who showed up to vote on Tuesday. I won the open seat for Commissioner. Beverley and Marlene also were re-elected. I will keep this page open for anyone to ask anything. I will make every effort to answer as best I can. In some cases, it may be necessary to relay the questions to the town for official answer.

Good meet and greet at the Carolina Shores Community POA clubhouse. Quite a few folks there with good questions.

Another meet and greet has been scheduled for the Villages at Calabash for October 18. I don't have a time yet.

The meet and greet that was scheduled for last night at The Farm was postponed due to Tropical Storm Ophelia. The new date is Oct 6 and 7 PM.
