Chastain Board

We'd like to know people's opinions about how our Board has been these past couple of years.  Almost no one shows up to the yearly meeting and no one ever runs against them come election time so does that mean everyone is happy with what they've done with the community over the past couple of years?  I'd love to hear some varied opinions on the subject.  Thanks.  Please click the comment link at the bottom of this post to voice your feelings.  You will need to create a google account to protect against spammers.

Sexual Predators In The Community


You'd be surprised how many sexual predators are in our neighborhood! We need to take action and get Jessica's Law passed to protect our young. For a listing of the predators, visit Family Watchdog. At the center-top of the page, search for the following criteria as the image to the left shows:
City: Raleigh
State: North Carolina
Zip Code: 27610

A North Carolina based Jessica's Law web site.

What is Jessica's Law? "Named in memory of Jessica Lunsford, who was abducted and sexually assaulted before being brutally murdered, "Jessica's Law" refers to the Jessica Lunsford Act passed in Florida which mandates a minimum sentence of 25 years and a maximum of life in prison for first-time child sex offenders."

Greetings

Welcome to the Unofficial Chastain of Raleigh Blog. Why "unofficial"? Because the board is afraid of spammers, etc. However, newsletters only come out once a quarter and there is only one meeting a year for the community. The hope of this blog is to rally together the community to keep them apprised of events, and to get the community's feedback.
