Barber sponsors needed for Homeless event

Thanks to some widespread Internet problems, the paper got "to bed" much later than I had hoped last night, but it came out fine today. But, next week has already started, and we'll have some upcoming story blurbs later this week.


Something that was not mentioned about Project Homeless Connect in this week's paper is that they want a barber sponsor. In a discussion with Jamie Rohe, who currently heads the county's Partnership to End Homelessness, they are hoping to involve a faith-based group in the event to sponsor haircuts and grooming for homeless individuals. Interested barbers should also inquire if interested in donating their services (see the above link for contact information). Here are the event details:

3rd Annual Project Homeless Connect Orange County

Thursday, Oct. 8

9 a.m. - 3:30 p.m.

Hargraves Community Center

216 N. Roberson St.

Chapel Hill

On another, unrelated note, school starts the week of Aug. 25, sports start the week before, the county commissioners meet Aug. 18, the town board reconvenes for a special meeting Aug. 20 and the school board is back next Monday. And I thought summer was short back when I was in school ....
