Spring Fling 2017
CCT held its 5th Annual Spring Fling event on May 11th. The event was a great success with the highest turnout yet! We had a great time honoring our volunteers and supporters while enjoying live jazz music and FUNdraising activities. For the first time ever, we held the event at the Goodwill Opportunity Campus. The community garden provided an excellent backdrop for this event which celebrates growth and fresh starts.
Congratulations to volunteers of the year, Betty Ritchie, Joanna Patcha, and Tom Brown. Further congratulations to our employer of the year, Sam’s Sandwich Shop, which has been offering fair chance hiring and supporting CCT for over a decade. Last but not least, thank you and congratulations to this year’s Community of Faith award recipient, New Beginnings Church, which has sent us many committed volunteers and great programming over the years.?See more photos here!
NC Seeks to “Raise the Age”
North Carolina is the only state that tries 16 and 17 year old children as adults for misdemeanors and nonviolent crimes. New York passed legislation just recently to phase out charging minors as adults for nonviolent crimes, leaving our state alone, and not in a good way. Current legislation in the NC General Assembly seeks to raise the age of juvenile jurisdiction, also known as the age of criminal responsibility, to 18, bringing North Carolina in sync with every other state in the country..?Read More >
At CCT we rely on generous donors on you to provide the resources we need. Thank you to everyone who donated in the months of April and May.
