News Notes
Civic
  • The City of Winston-Salem needs at least 40 volunteers to help improve pedestrians walkways in the city. Registered volunteers will meet at Winston-Salem Preparatory Academy located at 1215 N. Cameron Ave. beginning at 9 a.m. on Saturday, Oct. 28. (Triad City Beat)
Award
  • RiverRun International Film Festival has named its first BIPOC Fellow. Sudanese filmmaker Fatima Wardy will curate a program of four to six films by Black, Indigenous, and other filmmakers of color to screen for free during RiverRun’s 2024 festival happening April 18, 2024 through April 27, 2024.
Number
  • $196.3 million. That’s how much Forsyth County’s nonprofit arts and culture industry economy generated in 2022. In addition, it supported 2,472 jobs and brought $34.1 million in local, state, and federal government revenue.
Community
  • Lewisville residents may experience water pressure fluctuations or temporary discoloration starting today due to water tank routine maintenance and inspection. Work is expected to be completed by Friday, Oct. 20. Not to worry — your tap water will still be safe for drinking, cooking, and bathing.
Environment
  • Volunteer with the Lewisville Beautification Committee to help keep the town beautiful at the 2023 Fall Clean Sweep Day on Saturday, Oct. 21. Volunteers will meet at the Town Hall Annex at 6550 Shallowford Rd. at 9 a.m. and will pick up trash until 12 p.m.
Ranked
  • No. 10. That’s where North Carolina ranks on the list of places where small businesses have the most survival rate. The percentage of startups that are still active after three years is 61.91%. (Triad Biz Journal)
Transit
Finance
  • One card, all the perks. A $200 welcome bonus, unlimited cash back, and 0% interest into 2025 (all with no annual fee) almost sounds too good to be true — but this card has it all.*
Travel
Drink
  • Move over, pumpkin spice latte — have you tried an apple pie chai? Pro tip: Grab yourself a warm cup from Boxcar Coffee next time you’re getting your shopping done at Lowes Foods.*

    I have no idea what to dress up as for Halloween this year. I am not particularly a big fan when it comes to costumes, but I’m hoping to challenge myself out of my comfort zone this time around. Please send costume ideas my way. I may post it later this month on our Instagram page.
