Hello friends,
The time is running out... the day of our party will be here before we know
it. My goal was to have sponsors to provide us with enough food for the
neighborhood and volunteers.... well that didn't work out as well as I
hoped. What does that mean for us..... we will all have to bring food. I
need help securing tables for the sponsors that are coming, as well as tent
in case of rain. Rain or shine the party goes on. Items we need:
Grills
Tables
Chairs
Tents/shelters
trash cans and trash bags
Moon walk or bouncy thing for the kids ( and for me :-) )
Paper products: Plates, cups napkins
plastic silverware
Portable radio.... Have not heard back from Mix 101.5 yet
Anything else you think we need
Food: Hot dogs, hamburgers, chicken, what ever you want to bring to put on
the grill
Side dishes, chips, salsa.... whatever everyone wants to bring
Desserts:
I will need help setting up that morning and clean up that afternoon
Please let me know what and how you can help.
Thanks... looking forward to the party !
Allison

Unreal! Honey's owner claims that her dog was assaulted by the victims? I've personally witnessed that dog on the loose go after dogs on leashes. Honey was not muzzled this weekend. The owners walk her after dark in the Greenway easement.
According to Ron Stacy, the property owner of 2239 Rumson is claiming that the pit was also provoked by Mr. Daughtry! I guess the pedestrian walking along the sidewalk was provocative too?
Unreal, this is absurd.
http://www2.nbc17.com/news/2012/apr/02/raleigh-could-examine-how-ordinance-…
Complaints about dogs running through a Raleigh neighborhood and attacking people and other animals could lead to some changes.
Mayor pro tem Russ Stephenson told NBC-17 he hopes to get the City Council talking about the animal ordinance at Tuesday’s meeting.
He said he wants the city’s Law and Public Safety Committee to study the differences between Raleigh and Wake County’s ordinances. He said the city may need to create a stricter ordinance to address problems created by “dangerous dogs” and “repeat escapees.”
Neighbors along Rumson Road and Millbank Street said dogs are running loose and attacking pets and people.
Ronald Stacy has lived in the area 45 years and has never seen this problem before. He said his lab, Holly, was attacked by a neighbor's Saint Bernard. By his count, four or five dogs and one person have been attacked on his street.
He said he’s ready to take matters into his own hands if the city does not make changes.
"I told the policeman, ‘If the dog comes in my yard, I kill her. I'm going to make it plain.’ I said, 'You can lock me up, whatever you want to do, but I came from the old school. You don't let a dog bite people and tear people's dogs up. Somebody's got to pay the bill.'"
NBC-17 spoke with Michelle Gilchrist, who said she owns the Saint Bernard, Honey. She said Honey has never bitten anyone and never attacked another dog. She said it’s actually the other way around - that other dogs attacked hers.
In one case, the other dogs were chihuahuas that she said initiated a fight with her 175-pound dog.
Honey now only comes outside on a leash and wears a muzzle, Gilchrist said.
Stacy said dog discipline begins when they are puppies.
“It’s just like a child. If you don’t treat them right when they’re young, you don’t know what they’re going to grow up to be,” he said.
If it is a rose, it will come into bloom sooner or later.
