Thomas McAfee Grief Seminar
Sep 28 all-day
Brookwood Church

Sooner or later grief comes along and tags, “You’re it!” Sometimes “out of the blue” but at other times at the end of a long medical battle. Sometimes after expecting a “miracle” from either modern medicine or from God.

Grievers quickly discover that some family members, friends, colleagues, are anxious for them to “move on” and immigrate to “Over-It-Land!” Grievers often find themselves stuck in one of four boxes: Get Over It, Get Under It, Get Around It, but rarely Get Into It. There is life during grief AND after grief IF you pay attention to the boxes!

Join us to discuss grief with guest speaker Harold Ivan Smith, DMIN, FT.

Voice of Business Brunch: The Most Cost-Effective Way to Fix Our County’s Roads
Sep 30 @ 11:30 am – 1:00 pm
Spartanburg Community College Middle Tyger Campus: Room 354

 

In 2017, voters approved a one percent sales tax that has funded a new Courthouse and more. In November, voters will decide whether the one percent sales tax is continued, with revenue going to road projects.

Overall, Spartanburg County roadways earned a failing grade. The penny sales tax is the most cost-conscious way to fix roads and fix them quickly, especially with 34%-39% of the cost covered by non-residents.

Learn more about the condition of our roads and a potential solution to fix them with Spartanburg County Administrator Cole Alverson, and hear the benefits of voting YES in November with OneSpartanburg, Inc. President/CEO Allen Smith.
