Sometimes...

...I post blogs out of order. So scroll down for some new ones which are below the last three posts. :)

Nutty putty

I went to the last Molasses Creek concert of the season tonight, and met a group of college students who are bicycling across the US to raise money for the Liz Logelin Foundation, which provides support to young widows and widowers and their children. I have read the blog of Matt Logelin, who started the foundation many times over the last few months and have been very inspired by the good he has brought out of the unexpected tragedy that came into his life not too long ago.

You can learn more about the Liz Logelin Foundation, and the Nutty Putty Cyclists (yep, that's what they call themselves) here.

Sea oats

I love sea oats (a fact you already know if you've been reading this blog for long). I love them all year, and especially enjoy watching the changes with the seasons. Since we don't have trees that change colors and drop leaves during the fall, I have to enjoy the changing sea oats instead!

Spaghetti for the Scouts

I love when I can combine delicious food with supporting a good cause!



I always like the fact that the Boy Scouts actively participate in this fundraiser, serving and cooking.





Yum!



After working hard, the Scouts got to eat too.

On the air

Did you know that Ocracoke Community Radio (WOVV 90.1 FM) is now on the air? I have really enjoyed listening to it, especially hearing the teens who have recorded announcements. There's just something fun about when you recognize the voices on the radio as people you know.

Anyway, if you would like to be involved with WOVV, plan to attend the public meeting scheduled for Wednesday October 20 (7 PM, at the Community Center). Perhaps you can even have your own show. As the flier for the event says: "Community Events. Emergency Information. Music. Sports Talk. Your show here."

Yum

A "small" cause

If you would like to support a good cause - which benefits many of the young children on the island - there are several upcoming opportunities to give to Ocracoke Child Care. Here are the details.

Start your holiday shopping and support OCC at the same time! Go to the
Midland Fundraising site and enter Connor's "seller ID": S056120. But do that holiday shopping early: orders must be placed by 10/21 in order to be counted in the totals for OCC.

Bake Sale - Saturday October 16 from 9-12 at the Variety Store

Yard Sale - Saturday October 23 starting at 8 AM at the Child Care

Pig Pickin' - Saturday November 13 starting at 2 PM at the Community Center

As the commercials used to say, "...and thank you for your support".
