THE ROAD TO PINEHURST – NEW BEGINNINGS

Posted on by

Tom & Felicita Stone started their journey to Pinehurst almost 3 years ago.

As a retired police officer in the Miami area and an avid golfer, Tom scratched an itch and came to Pinehurst to see

what all the fanfare was about in 2014. Felicita works remotely in the telecommunications industry and travels abroad extensively.

With their two children grown and out on their own the timing seemed right.

This loving couple talk about their sojourn; the bumps in the road and their experiences in finding their final landing area for a 2nd home in Pinehurst. Their observations about Pinehurst are valuable reminders to many of us who live here and call this area home.

Real Estate broker, Christian McCarthy, who assisted the Stone’s on their journey, and who lent her heart and soul to their effort, joins us to share her impressions about the Stone’s and to lend her unique take and perspective.

 

CALLI BRIELLE McINTYRE

CALLI BRIELLE McINTYRE – MISS MOORE COUNTY’S OUTSTANDING TEEN

Posted on by

Calli Brielle McIntyre is a high school honor student at Pinecrest High School and the reigning Miss Moore County’s Outstanding Teen in the Miss North Carolina Scholarship program.

She is an accomplished dancer, actress, singer and community activist. Calli leads with her heart and her ‘old soul’.

Her Platform for this coming year is Food Allergies. She has written a book, The Anteater that Couldn’t Eat Ants, to drive her point home. Her own peanut allergy, discovered early on, gave her the impetus to write this book as an 8th grader!

Currently she is working with State Representative Jamie Boles to help pass House Bill 520 to require restaurants to more properly prepare for occurrences of food allergies in their established place of business.

Her resume of theatrical accomplishments, spanning 11 years, and her leadership role as Founder/Director of Crowning Purpose, Inc. www.crowningpurpose.org speaks to her passion, her grit and her heart.

As you’ll hear, Calli is fearless, confident, gracious, articulate, loving, disciplined and focused. In 9 years of hosting All Things Moore County, I am hard pressed to recall anyone of her age more impressive or endearing.
