Just wanted to give an update on whats going on with the Legacy Center project. Today was Commitment Sunday where we committed to giving a certain amount of money to the project over the next 3 years. We also had Family Fest which was basically like a homecoming and fall festival in one. We had hamburgers and hot dogs inside while all the fun stuff was outside. There were big slides, a Worb water walking station, horse-drawn carriage rides, caricatures, funnel cakes, and cotton candy. We even had Wool E. Bull from the Durham Bulls and Stormy from the Carolina Hurricanes there joining in all the fun. I had a blast! I really hope Grey Stone will do this every year. It was awesome!
On a more serious note, tomorrow is a make-or-break day of sorts for the project. At tomorrow night's city council meeting, our pastor will make a presentation to the council in support of closing Warner Street. This is huge because the street basically needs to be permanently closed in order for the Legacy Center to be built according to plan. Today in church, they were asking for as many people to come to the meeting as possible to show public support for this. After the presentation, our pastor will ask those in agreement to stand and show support.
I hate it like everything but it looks like I won't be able to make it there to the meeting. I normally have English class at this time, and contemplating missing it, but I know school comes first. I will get my mom to tape it and I'm looking to see if they stream the meetings online or something. I really hope things will go well with all this.
