Thanks to poverty, hundreds, if not thousands, of children across our area have to go back to school without the supplies they need to receive a good education. When Mom and Dad can't afford to check everything off those supply lists, it's the children who suffer.
If you wish to donate, please send checks payable to Union County DSS-Donation Fund to Gloria Haney (704-296-4312) at Union County DSS, 1212 W. Roosevelt Blvd., Monroe, NC 28110. In the notation on the check, write for school uniforms or supplies. You can also donate supplies and clothing by calling the office of your local school. Sincerely

The Coffee Table Opens! | |
The Coffee Table Hours of OperationMon - Sat 6 a.m. - 9p.m. |
We signed up for their newsletter so we could stay informed on their progress, and received notice on Monday that Wednesday (today) was their official opening date! We also visited their site and saw that they have daily specials, and live music on select nights. You can check all that out by visiting WesleyChapelCoffee.com.
It didn't seem like the yucky weather was affecting them one bit either, spirits were high, and there was a steady stream of customers, which made me very happy. The first day a business opens can be rough if no one shows up, but that wasn't a problem at The Coffee Table. The lattes and milkshakes were really good, and the fresh chocolate muffins were incredible. Plus, the place is beautiful!
Thanks again John and Melissa, and the rest of the crew at The Coffee Table too-- and best of luck, you'll definitely be seeing us again! |

Union County Neighbors Mission Statement |

The Union County Department of Social
Services needs your help -- you can support local needy children by donating supplies, uniforms, or monetary donations. The need is far outweighing the amount of supplies that are being donated this year because of the present economic situation and sky-rocketing unemployment rate, but there is still time to help before
the traditional school year starts. 
When we walked in this morning, John (the owner) says to me, "You're Erin!"
What a nice welcome. I didn't expect him to recognize me! 
I was also just awestruck by some of the paintings on the walls. Local artist Jamie Klouse has some gorgeous work exibited there, as well as other local artists. There are also handmade soy candles by Susan Benz from 
ted by Caroline Adams of Monroe Crossing (formerly known as Monroe Mall). Unfortunately, the winner never contacted us with her mailing address. So this week, we're re-gifting it again. We've randomly chosen a name from the list of people who are subscribed to our newsletter, and the new winner is Rod Sager. Rod, please email me at
