Christmas Tree Sale

TARBORO —

I would like to personally thank “The Daily Southerner” for their December 7, 2011 article covering the 2011 Tarboro Optimist Club Christmas Tree sale.

The Tarboro Optimist Club, Tarboro High School baseball team and  local Boy Scout troops from Howard Memorial Presbyterian (Troop 49) St James United Methodist (Troop 96) 1st Free Will Baptist (Troop 816)  have teamed up again to provide quality NC Fraser Fir Christmas Trees. It is only through positive coverage and local support that our annual sale can be successful.

Bruce Peaden, Tarboro Optimist Club Treasurer, briefly mentioned some of activities that are supported through our Christmas Tree sale. We are proud that we are able to support local youth sports teams, oratorical winners and even help further someone’s educational aspirations among other things.

The Christmas tree sale is tentatively scheduled to last until Sunday, December 11, 2011 at 9:00 pm. Please think of us when purchasing your live Christmas Tree.  Tarboro and Edgecombe County’s youth depend on you.

Again, on behalf of those directly and indirectly involved in the sale, I would like to thank everyone who supports us either financially or through donations of time or other resources. We can’t do it without you.

In closing, remember “Support a Youth, Buy a Tree.”

    To the Editor;
    What are you (ECC) thinking?
    ECC teaching how to drink wine? Which is alcohol. ECC Foundation selling alcoholic drinks. Children will be there looking and learning. They are good music bands for a good cause, leave the alcohol out and all of its side effects.
    What are you thinking?
    Wonder how long before it will be taught in Public Schools. Would it not be better for everyone to teach abstinence?
    What about it Mother's Against Drunk Driving? What do you think?
    What are we thinking?

    If the flags in Tarboro are not flying at half-staff, then they should be as a true patriot, hero, and Christian has died.

    Your coverage on the gun control debate was fair and accurate and I have fought against gun control my whole life. The sad thing is this time the American public is haunted by the ghosts of 20 innocent children and the claims by the proponents for assault weapons is making all gun owners look callous and uncaring.

    One of the things I love most about returning home to my beloved Tarboro is escaping the grueling crush of northern Virginia and nasty Washington politics.

    What has Clark Jenkins done? He has served his town, his county, and his state for five consecutive terms in the North Carolina Senate. He has led a life of service to his business, his church, and his family. He has been a friend and a partner with me and my family for over 50 years.
