Grassroots of Tarboro

The town meeting is behind us. We now know what must be done.

A petition has been created to gather the signatures of Tarboro residents who want the town to support us (the ordinary people of Tarboro) in our efforts to promote and revitalize Tarboro.   You can download the word doc file to print a petition to distribute or you can find and sign a copy of the petition at many downtown businesses.   If you feel that you have no voice in town matters, that the council members are not representing you, this is how we get their attention.

The next step is to start gathering funds to cover the cost of the insurance policy and the clean-up deposit.  We need $1000 within two weeks to get the insurance and permission to use the square on Saturday, June 14th, Tarboro's 2nd Saturday for June.  It's not impossible or even difficult if you look at it like this... we need 25 people to donate $40.  We need to make the June event GREAT!  We can not let the town council be an obstacle. We must create a terrific event despite their lack of support.  It would be nice if they worked with us, nice if they simply appreciated what we do, but it is not necessary.  

Our next planning meeting for the June event is tomorrow night. We'll meet at the Tarboro library on Main street at 6pm.  We need you to come, there is much that needs to be done and very little time.
