Adopt-a-Road cleanup on September 9

We need you! The more volunteers we have cleaning up the trash along Airport Road near Whispering Pines, the quicker the work and the more pleasant the experience!

Please meet at 12:00 noon on September 9 at the Harris Teeter in Whispering Pines - the parking lot nearest the gas station. Bring your grabber and gloves; trash bags and vests will be provided.

You can make a difference to ensuring this election is fair, and that people are encouraged to vote Republican!

We are looking for MRW members to commit 8 volunteer hours for the upcoming early voting or Election Day shifts. These shifts (two separate 4-hour shifts) would be as Poll Observers (inside the polling place) or Poll Greeters (outside the polling place under the tent).

There are two early voting locations:

Aberdeen Lake Recreation Center

301 Lake Park Crossing, Aberdeen, NC 28325

Carthage Agricultural Center

707 Pinehurst Avenue, Carthage, NC 28327

Election Day commitments occur at your home precinct and should be coordinated with your precinct chair.

Sign up sheets are available at GOP HQ in the Olmsted Village Shopping Center, or by emailing annettem25@sbcglobal.net for a digital version. Sign up with a friend!

You're invited to attend!
