Wilmington Jaycees ask for turkey donations for needy families
Thanksgiving is just around the corner and most families in Wilmington are preparing to host a holiday feast, complete with the crowning holiday jewel - a juicy turkey.
But for many of the city's poorest families, a holiday meal is something that seems very far out of reach. Many have lost their jobs and are living day-to-day, fighting to survive in an economy that makes it impossible to get a break. And as unemployment continues to rise, more and more families are falling on hard times.
All we're asking for is $14. Donations can be made via paypal at the following link:

In order to emphasize the location of the park and its connection to the city, the project is now being called the Race Street Pier.
This meeting is the first of four important meetings for this project. The first three are designed to gather input from the public, while the final meeting will be the presentation of the final design.
