The room was stylish and we faced the back of the hotel so our view was of some magnolia trees. The bed was comfortable and I loved that our dog was welcomed in the hotel.

Having stayed at many hotels this year, this was one of the best and most memorable.

Note in the Pocket provides clothing to children and their families from socks to shoes to underwear to pants to tops to jackets. A school social worker puts in a request and Note in the Pocket takes care of the rest and delivers the clothing to the school. Note in the Pocket takes donations of gently used clothing. These are then sorted, processed to make sure the clothing meets the quality for these students. They even have an Amazon wishlist. For the last ten years there has been a Socks & Undies 5K Fun Run (or walk). They want to clothe 10,000 children in 2023. There is a virtual run for those that cannot go in person.

This book club is to be able to share experience, insight and secrets. Aside from the obvious of discussing books of all sorts. Whether a Writer, Author or just a reader. I attended the final meeting for the year and was able to contribute to the new years reading lists. Which also has Author appearances for 8 out of the 12. Pretty rad. There was a book gift exchange and I got to unwrap 2 new books! (nerd moment) The coordinator of the club is Alice an amazing real life character, Author and Editor. She was great and inviting. As well as the other folks. This club is open to the public. (No hecklers allowed) Meet up is last Friday of every month. I will try to put up a list of the books and Authors of our upcoming year as a picture if anyone is interested.

The clientele this company tends to attract consist of professionals and students who are too busy with other responsibilities (work, school, etc.) to take part in the dating scene.

I am glad that you are able to enjoy its benefits. However, I was never able to join the organization because the owner did not think I had the correct tools to be a part of this group, i.e., cell phone and/or GPS. We never really discussed any of this. I was threatened with a lawsuit as noted below if I would not remove a "negative review". "You are being asked by me today to take down the Yelp review in 24 hours or we go to court. It will be costly and unpleasant. If you think that writing that type of review over an email is OK without you ever being a member of my organization - that is slander. My lawyer has already advised me that you will not win without having met me or even having ever been a member of Silver Connections. An email is not sufficient cause to slander someone's business. I am meeting with my lawyer and business manager on Tuesday morning and will move forward if the review is not gone by then. When a person apologizes and you still will not accept that apology and if I offered to put this behind us and meet and you still will not understand that we all make mistakes, then I have no other option but for this to become much, much more ugly than it could have been if you do not remove the review. I have no bad reviews anywhere because I have run a successful business for 15 years dedicated to those age 55+. My lawyer has said "that in itself will be a testament in the courts." He is ready to bring in my members as witnesses and all my venue partners in the Triangle to how much they love our group and my leadership. I have been advised to block any communication from you moving forward and I have done so." I only post this for informational purposes. It is in no way to hurt the owner, but this kind of behavior is unacceptable. And it only got worse from there. The owner did a good response on her review to the original review that was posted and sent it to me on Yelp. However, she made all time Yelp history, according to the representative I spoke to, at sending the same response to my email the first day at over 50 times.

They had an old-school train running along a long track, 'round mountains, through valleys, past lakes.

He'll build a small platform, drape it in a white sheet and tack decorative brick trim around the edges. The train goes around the mini-stage. And my mom has a little village of houses and stores that light up within, and lots of little characters (carolers, dog-walkers, a mailman) that she hand painted to populate the town. There's even a little mirror that serves as the frozen pond for ice skaters. And sprinkles of green grass and shaved snow. And that's exactly what they have on display at the Railroad Club. Elaborate little scenes, beautiful trains chugging along. The two men who were occupying the space the day I was there were so eager to have someone stop in. They gave me a quiz (more for kids, but what the hey!) to take... sort of a scavenger hunt to find things in the mini worlds all around. I even won a prize (a candy cane!) at the end. Be forewarned, they ask you to leave your name and phone number so they can call you about events (what about the dawn of email?); but they're so stinking sweet you won't be able to refuse!
