Thank You CFD
July 4, 2009

For the second year in a row Fire Station Number One was open for tours for neighborhood residents and to honor the men and women at the station the FWCF provided dinner for all who were on duty during the holiday. This was an opportunity for the neighbors to stop by and say hello and thank you to the people who keep us safe. Captain King said "thank you so much for everything. We had families stop by during the day and I hope they enjoyed the visit as much as we did. You all really made the holiday special for us and we greatly appreciate it."

 

First Ward and the Bobcats
April 15, 2009
The Bobcats' season ended with a 98 to 73 loss against the Orlando Magic. While the outcome of this game was disapointing; First Ward and the Bobcats was a big success for the neighborhood. Thanks to Deborah Cox, of Savvy + Company Real Estate, who donated a pair of season tickets, many First Ward residents were able to attend a game. These tickets were awarded to children who excelled in school or who did volunteer work. Also, parents who were successful in the Charlotte Housing Authority's Family Self Sufficiency Program were rewarded for their hard work.
