This summer, why not do something to knit our country together?
Here are some ideas.
*Going to a neighborhood picnic or parade? Bring a stack of voter registration forms with a sign that says, "No matter how you vote, I am glad you are my neighbor." Print forms at http://msweb03.co.wake.nc.us/bordelec/downloads/9forms/9formslist/NCVoterRegForm.pdf.
*Did you know that only 65% of CUCC's members voted in the last off-year election? TODAY put your election dates on your calendar and promise yourself you will vote. Know you need to research candidates? Put a date on your calendar to do that, too.
October 8 Municipal Elections for Raleigh, Cary, Durham
November 5 Municipal Elections for Angier, Apex, Durham, Fuquay-Varina, Garner, Holly Springs, Knightdale, Morrisville, Rolesville, Wake Forest, Wendell, and Zebulon; Municipal Runoff Elections for Raleigh and Cary (if necessary)
*Invite a new neighbor to your home for a meal. Yes, a last minute invitation is fine.
*Call a friend of a different political persuasion to catch up on what's new in their life.
*Look up a favorite local nonprofit on their website to find out what they need and take the family shopping to buy it.
*Spend an hour in nature, then decide on one new carbon-reducing activity you will try for one month. (Ideas: Take the bus, bike or walk once a week, bring compost to CUCC, finally make a call to find out about insulation.)
*Commit to praying for the people of United States of America every day for a month.
