Knitting Our Country Together

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.
