MOORE COUNTY RESIDENTS/STUDENTS – EMMA GENTRY LANDRY & CAROLINE LANDRY

Our guest topics might vary, but this kickoff show for 2019 has a common thread of Passion & Purpose with each of our guests, as difference makers in our Moore County community.

Mike Irwin is the head of Capodanno High School; a new Catholic High School in Moore County. CELEBRATE COURAGE is the name of their upcoming fundraiser on Friday, Feb. 1st. 6 p.m. at The Fair Barn. It honors the 95th birthday of Father Capodanno in conjunction with the rise of a new Catholic High School in his name.

The hallmark of this “servant leader” education will be on full display at their Feb. 1st fundraiser. The exciting changes and the anticipated growth of The Four Pillars of a Father Capodanno High School Education, give wonderful options to Moore County residents and their children that hadn’t existed prior to 2017.

Doug is back after being a guest on the show 3 years ago to update us on the Community Watch of Pinehurst program and his involvement in that organization over that time.  Doug retired to Pinehurst in 2011 after 34 years of experience in the Secret Service and the Drug Enforcement Administration.  Today, Doug works as a consultant for Central Security Systems of Southern Pines.  In one way or the other Doug is trying to have a positive impact on the safety of his Moore County neighbors.

George Norfleet, The Bat Man, speaks about another type of control or prevention.  George is best known in Moore County for his humane treatment of animals and their removal from homes or business.  Whether they be raccoons, snakes, squirrels, bats or possums, George is a valued vendor used by many real estate professionals to help alleviate unwanted animal intrusion in someone’s attic or crawl space.

George is also a chimney sweep and he touches some of the concerns for homeowners, buyers & sellers.
