Focus on Wake Forest - August 2007

August 2007 - Last month, during the first of a two-part series on water conservation, Deputy Town Manager Roe O’Donnell discussed why Wake Forest and the City of Raleigh merged their water and sewer systems. He also explained Raleigh’s new year-round lawn watering restrictions – which went into effect July 2. This month - in part 2 – we'll share a few simple ways you can conserve water at home. Wake Forest’s Human Relations Council hosted Good Neighbor Day last September as a way to celebrate diversity and promote unity among town residents. This year, on September 16 - the HRC is teaming up with the Greenways Advisory Board to again offer this family event. We'll sit down with two of the event’s organizers who share how Good Neighbor Day came about and why it holds such promise for Wake Forest. Finally, in July, the Town of Wake Forest began offering NC GreenPower - an initiative designed to improve North Carolina's environment through voluntary contributions toward renewable energy. We'll show you how you can participate for as little as $4 month.
