PCP FRI MAY 31: Christmas in Wilmington

IN THIS ISSUE: Pride Month festivities

FRIDAYS TOGETHER WITH

Good morning Wilmington!

Well history was made as Donald Trump is found guilty of all 34 charges in hush money trial and is the first president to ever be convicted of a felony. It will be interesting to see how this plays out as a precedence for other former presidents and members of congress. It will also be interesting to see how people will react to this news over the weekend. Hopefully reactions and demonstrations will be peaceful.

Trump will be holding a press conference today @ 11AM over the verdict. This should be available on C-Span.

Reminder: If you purchased chicken from House of Raeford… Don’t forget to pick up your order tomorrow or you will lose it. Pickup is tomorrow from 9-12:30 PM @ Myrtle Grove Middle School.

Update: Due to unforeseen circumstances, The American Red Cross Blood Drive scheduled for today, Friday, May 31st from 11:00 am - 4:00 pm at the Town of Wrightsville Beach Police and Fire Department has been CANCELLED.

Enjoy: This morning’s sunrise on Wrightsville Beach.

4 month old neutered male hound/lab mix
Meet this adorable boy, who, along with his sister, came to us as an owner surrender. They were very underweight, but with love and care, they’ve made great progress.
