Shelby Star, Feb 17, 2014:
In January, Shelby High School guidance counselor Tammy Hollifield put out a plea for help.
The backpack program, which provided food on the weekends for a handful of students in need, had grown to include about 20 students. Each week, she and Career Development Coordinator Ronda Branch filled two grocery carts with food and packed bags for homeless and hungry students.
The program started last year with the help of the school’s social worker. But Shelby High School lost a social worker position because of funding. Without the social worker and her connections, Hollifield and Branch were struggling. COMPLETE ARTICLE HERE
The next General Meeting of the CCGOP is scheduled for Monday, February 10, 2014, and will be held at the Cleveland County Administration Building in the Commissioners Chambers at 7:00 pm. Our Speaker will be Eric Albrecht. He is the Regional Field Director for the NCGOP. Mr. Albrecht will be discussing the NCGOP’s BOOTS on the GROUNDeffort.. This is a neighborhood focused grassroots driven, volunteer approach to keeping North Carolina red in 2014 and beyond. As you know, the Senate race coming up is crucial for North Carolina and the country, and we are preparing early for victory! So come out and learn how to organize your neighborhood and precinct.
D. Franklin Freeman, PhD, noted author, conservative political strategist, entrepreneur, veteran and the current Secretary of the Republican National Hispanic Assembly of North Carolina will be the special speaker the Cleveland County GOP’s regular meeting on Monday January 13 at 7pm in the Commissioners Chambers at the Charlie Harry Cleveland County Administrative Building at 311 East Marion St. in uptown Shelby.
The focus of Dr. Freeman’s presentation will be the importance of Republican’s engaging the growing Hispanic population in North Carolina and relating with them the conservative ideals of the Republican party. It is his contention that the vast majority of Latino and Hispanic families in North Carolina hold most of the same conservative values that are compatible with the conservative Republican world view and that republicans must embrace this important component of our changing North Carolina population with core conservative principles..
Franklin is the president and managing Director of Synergie Professional Services, LLC a, management consulting firm that provides organizational development/financial and human resources consulting. Dr. Franklin is a Disabled veteran and spent eight years in the US Army before entering the private sector.
