We need YOU!

We need YOU!

It’s that time of the year in Cary again.  Time for us at the Town to ask YOU for your knowledge, experience, guidance and passion to continue to keep Cary as an amazing place to live, work and play. Yes, it’s that time when we accept applications for you to participate on one of our seven volunteer boards, committees and commissions.

Why Volunteer?

P&ZThese boards are an incredibly valuable resource for the Town. And, as a council member, I have personally found great value in the recommendations provided by our citizen volunteers.  From feedback received from the Planning and Zoning Board, to the incredible report put out by the Environmental Advisory Board’s Shale Gas Task Force, and also input from folks on the Public Arts Board and Parks and Rec. They are all key to what makes Cary such a great place to live.

But, it’s not just about your feedback – it’s about getting involved and truly making a difference. If you have a passion around any of these areas, please apply. Not only will you get an opportunity to help the town by providing your insights and thoughts, but also you will meet like-minded folks, interested in these topics and maybe even have FUN!   Read More…

How to turn them on and off, silence them, and how to load apps. (C’mon Verizon and AT&T – show people the basics before you let them leave the store!)  But I digress. Read More…

It’s about Quality of Life & Life Quality

It’s about Quality of Life & Life Quality

Quality of Life – we hear it all the time, and it’s sometimes used by many of us as the reason we live here in Cary.  I think we will admit that we’ve got a “high quality of life” here in Cary. What we sometimes DON’T think about is our “life quality.”  With more than 25% of our population being baby boomers, it’s something that more and more of us think about.  (Yes, I’m a baby boomer.) Our life quality is important; the ability to maintain, regain or improve our abilities or skills, to make a contribution, to be present for our family and to enjoy life. Sometimes we are born with disabilities, or come by them through an accident, or daily challenges.  And, still, we go on.  As do the the folks from the Cary Mayor’s Task Force on Disabilities.
