Make summer bright for kids in Greenville
The Salvation Army Boys & Girls Club needs your help to make this summer the best one yet for kids in our community. For nine weeks while children are out of school on summer break, the Boys & Girls Club hosts its Summer Camp at the Kroc Center in Greenville.
The children spend their days doing fun-filled activities, taking field trips, participating in character building classes and much more. We need help funding the scholarship program to help offset the cost for families unable to afford this quality out-of-school time experience for their children.
- $80 pays for a child to attend one week of summer camp
- $160 pays for one child to attend one week of camp, all field trips, as well as covers their t-shirt cost
- $720 pays for one child or half the summer session for two children. This includes field trips and a t-shirt.
Thank you for prayerfully considering how you can support families in Greenville this summer through The Salvation Army Boys & Girls Club!

Greenlink is seeking volunteers for its pilot Mystery Rider Program. This customer service initiative aims to collect trip feedback in real-time, is intended to gather details on the complete customer experience and will identify areas for improvement and employee recognition.
Why should you volunteer?
- Help the Facilities team address bus stop issues.
- Help the Maintenance team address mechanical issues and cleanliness issues on the bus.
- Help the Safety & Training team address areas for improvement in operations and customer service.
Your feedback can lead to a better customer experience for everyone!
What is required and what do you get out of it?
Volunteers will be required to participate in a one-hour training to understand how to complete the Mystery Rider Report. In exchange for attending the training, volunteers will receive two 7-Day passes ($25 value).
Then, once the training is complete, passengers will be required to complete a minimum of 12 Mystery Rider Reports:
- 3 completed on trips taken M-F between 5:30 a.m. – 12:30 p.m.
- 3 completed on trips taken M-F between 12:30 – 4:30 p.m.
- 3 completed on trips taken M-F between 4:30 – 11:30 p.m.
- 3 completed on trips taken on Saturdays between 8:30 a.m. – 6:30 p.m.
In exchange for completing the twelve reports, volunteers will receive one 31-Day pass ($50 value).
All reports are due by April 30, 2024.
Artisphere has approached us to participate in their Arts Partner Program, offering a chance to secure funding for GCCA through volunteer efforts. By collectively completing 250 volunteer hours, we can unlock vital resources that will be reinvested back into our community in various meaningful ways.
While our dedicated staff is committed to contributing their time, we recognize that our team alone will not reach the goal. That’s why we’re calling on our wonderful community to join us in this endeavor. With your help, we can achieve our target of 250 volunteer hours.
We’re asking for volunteers to sign up for 2 to 4 shifts each, with most shifts spanning 3 to 4 hours (some may be slightly longer). Your participation will not only support GCCA but also contribute to the vibrant cultural landscape of our city.
To sign up for shifts, please follow the instructions provided in the link below. When registering, be sure to indicate that you’re volunteering on behalf of GCCA to ensure your hours count towards our total. After signing up, we ask that you kindly inform our Operations Manager, Alicia Mizuno, of the number of shifts and total hours you’ve committed to. This will help us keep track of our progress towards our goal.

Participants will help remove litter from this property that serves as refugia for many birds and other wildlife. Volunteers will learn about the site’s history and how it came to be protected by a conservation easement. Please wear long pants and close-toed shoes you don’t mind getting dirty. Gloves and garbage bags will be provided.
Tech After Five connects the tech community. We invite IT Professionals, Startups, Entrepreneurs and their community of support to come together and make meaningful professional connections.
You may be looking for work or looking to hire. You might be looking for customers or prospects. You may need co-founders, partners or mentors. We’ve got you covered.
Tech After Five is not like other networking events. We work particularly hard to make sure we get the right people in the room and then make sure it’s easy for you to find each other. Sign up using the right ticket type for you. We will then follow up with custom emails that let you know who you can expect to meet. We will print custom badges for the event that make it easy for you to find the people you are looking for.
We know that networking can be hard. We try to make it as easy as possible for you to meet the right people. We know that when smart people come together we can make things happen. We hope you will join us and become part of our community.

“Tallamy lays out all you need to know to participate in one of the great conservation projects of our time. Read it and get started!” —Elizabeth Kolbert, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Sixth Extinction
Douglas W. Tallamy’s first book, Bringing Nature Home, awakened thousands of readers to an urgent situation: wildlife populations are in decline because the native plants they depend on are fast disappearing. His solution? Plant more natives. Another of Tallamy’s books, The Nature of Oaks, looked at the same issues in connection with one keystone species increasingly more imperiled in our urban canopies: the oak, a powerhouse of the plant kingdom that supports more life forms and interactions than any other tree genus in North America. In Nature’s Best Hope, Tallamy takes the next step and outlines his vision for a grassroots approach to conservation, showing how homeowners everywhere can turn their yards into conservation corridors that provide wildlife habitats. Arboretum environmental educator Libby Oswalt leads this drop-in reading circle in person at the Arboretum over two sessions. Bring your questions, comments and take-away wisdom from this insightful read and let’s discuss your plans for putting Tallamy’s recommendations to work in your own landscapes and communities!
Libby Oswalt loves all plants but is especially passionate about native plants! She graduated from Virginia Tech with a degree in Environmental Horticulture and has since gained years of experience working in the nursery industry with a particular interest in native trees, shrubs, and perennials. She currently works as a Youth Environmental Educator at the North Carolina Arboretum where she enjoys teaching students about the many wonders of Appalachian biodiversity. She enjoys spending her free time exploring the woods, gardening, and spreading awareness of the importance of native plants in our landscapes.
