Arc In The Park Research Paper

To support our mission, donors gave over $1,000,000 this past year. We celebrated our first joint fundraising golf tournament with the Meals on Wheels programs of Chapel Hill/Carrboro and Durham in October 2014. This was a great opportunity to raise awareness in the Triangle for our three programs that collectively feed over 2,000 seniors every week day. An unfortunate blast of winter weather caused us to cancel our Fat Tuesday Gala, but we were able to turn the auction into a successful online event and we raised funds to purchase over 18,000 meals. Our Fat Tuesday Gala will return with even more exciting plans next year on February

This foundation provides many opportunities to children like Youth Leadership program which brings in leadership skills, teamwork and make them independent. Recently, camp day was passed and all the money collected on this day go to the foundation.

The event was held at noon, just hours before a home meet for the Cougars. This allowed more people to attend, as family would be in town. There was an expected donation of $10 from participants, who could donate at the gate or via

Because this would be a charity event, there had to be a foundation or cause that all the profits would go to. It should be something that the people of Conant and surrounding areas could connect with and would be willing to donate to. If it is for a cause that the people believe in, more people would come to support the event, regardless if they are interested in the run itself or not. They would be willing to pay more for tickets if they knew that the money would be going to a cause that is near to their hearts. At first, the JDRF, Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, seemed like a good place to donate to. This was because there are quite of few people at Conant who have juvenile diabetes and the annual JDRF walk would be the next day, so it could be a good way to join this event to the cause and promote the walk. But soon after learning about an eighth grade boy who goes to Mead Junior High has brain cancer, I wanted to help and thought that this was a good cause to support. The eighth grader, Alex, is from this area and would have been a student at Conant. There are many people in this area that would support this event because it is a part of the community and they would want to help out. There are two main charities that helped this cause. The Be Positive Foundation, helps kids with pediatric cancer and raises money to provide financial and emotional support to families of children with cancer. And at

As with the huge snowstorm of December 1974 another even more powerful (in terms of intensity/extent) storm is of strong interest to all meteorologists who have studied winter storms in the Great Lakes. This storm is also of interest and remembrance to many longtime residents of the Great Lakes, the Upper Ohio Valley and Ontario, Canada who had to deal with winter's full fury late in January of 1978. In addition, the storm certainly casts many memories for those of us who were on duty and worked during the storm...while being in awe of the development and subsequent immense strength of this great monster. With the 30th anniversary of this Great Blizzard at hand, it is worth taking a step back in time to re-live this monumental example of nature's fury.

The frigid air on this Monday evening foresees snowfall once the sun drops below the horizon. The frost clinging to the turf blends in with the white cleats of the players. Each fan bundled up in sweatshirts, under jackets, under winter coats. A woman next to me saw that I had clearly not come dressed

Beep! Beep! Beep! the sound I woke up to when I received an early morning notification telling me that that wolf creek has over three feet of snow and is still dumping. I quickly grab my keys and my gear, start my truck not even waiting on it to warm up. As I drive as fast as I possibly could on the steep and snowy road of wolf creek pass my truck still not warm, as I could see the fog my warm exhales or breath are making as it touches the cold air in my truck. I keep driving to get to the summit chain law is in effect, semi- drivers are pulled over to the side because they cannot continue or do not want to risk the danger of falling off the pass, plows trying to make ways for incoming cars.
