Who looks after our parks?
To the Editor:
There are so many wonderful aspects of living in a small town like Tarboro; we have opportunities to participate in improvement programs in gardening, home restoration courses, weight loss, summer recreation, wholesome weekend events, some of which are free, and many more that meet the interests of our residents, such as the upcoming free concert on our Town Common by the North Carolina Symphony. There’s a “Trap, Neuter, Return” organization to keep the feline population in-check. Check out the calendar page of the Daily Southerner and you will be informed of opportunities for all ages.

Thanks from United Way
To the Editor:
A remarkable group of more than 175 citizens came together recently to celebrate a major accomplishment for the communities in Edgecombe and Nash Counties. The joy was palpable at the Champions’ Luncheon as the United Way Tar River Region affirmed that the ambitious goal of raising more than $1.26 million has been reached! There was a collective sigh of relief in knowing that funds will be available to continue support for the growing number of needs in our local neighborhoods.

Each of our businesses has felt the agonizing effects of cancer. We have lost colleagues, employees and customers to the disease. We have watched as our loved ones and coworkers have cared for a family member or business partner whose life has been wrenched apart after a cancer diagnosis.

‘What exactly does Tarboro have that's going to bring the tourist's’
I read with interest the article in today's paper titled, “Rotary Club hears pitch for tourism”. I work at one of the two local hotes mentioned in the article. And as it concerns an occupancy tax, I would like to throw my two cents in (some may think that's all it's worth), it would cause a major hardship for both of the local hotels. I am sure Ms. Bailey-Taylor is wonderful at what she does, however, has she ever driven through the parking lot of either hotel on a Friday or Saturday night?
