The ReCYCLEry is Looking for a New Home
Blog entry Submitted by kirklimon on Tue, 11/17/2009 - 12:37am.Hey all,
The ReCYCLEry is running out of time to find a new home. We have been in discussions with the town of Chapel Hill and Carrboro, partner organizations, local businesses and private citizens, but don't have anything solid yet. We are scheduled to move out of our temporary location at the end of the year and we have some options, but currently the options neither fulfill the need to be easily accessible in the community, nor have any potential permanence.
We've got a newly expanded and active board and are finally on a tight path to official non-profit status, but without a good home then neither of those have a great effect.
Thanks for all the support you have given in the past, and thanks in advance for any suggestions or even seemingly far-fetched ideas you may contribute. Please spread the word. If you can help us, please contact us via ReCYCLEry_NC@yahoo.com or 919-533-9196. We are posting updates at the following locations:

Good Luck to All the Candidates
Blog entry Submitted by Terri Buckner on Mon, 11/02/2009 - 9:55pm.Each election, I am awed and inspired by those who have the courage and the stamina to run for office. Regardless of who we support, we should all be thankful for those who step up and put themselves on the line for the sake of their community.
Good luck to all the candidates, and thank you!
Call it what It is: Free Land
Blog entry Submitted by Marc Joseph on Wed, 10/28/2009 - 9:34pm.On the surface, it is perfectly reasonable to agree with the IFC’s decision to take the University up on its offer to lease the land at a rate of $1 per year. However, there continue to be many unanswered questions that when addressed will shed an entirely different light onto the issue. I’ve listed some, but not all of those questions below.
2. What is UNC getting out of this extremely philanthropic act?
3. What are the criteria Chris Moran states the IFC used to select this area?

NC Pride Weekend
Blog entry Submitted by Jake Gellar-Goad on Sat, 09/26/2009 - 5:01pm.
I'm sure everyone has seen the rainbow flags downtown, and in case you were wondering, it is pride weekend here in NC. The biggest events were the speeches, festival, and parade over in Durham today, but it is something the whole triangle & to some degree the state gets into. If you check out this site, you'll see events all over, including several in Chapel Hill. It marks the 25th anniversary of this celebration. There were speeches, festival grounds, food, vendors, booths, and lots of fun to be had. I believe it is important to see this as not only a good time, but also as a large political rally with a positive message since this was the first NC Pride since prop 8 & the protests
