States Attorney Davis Ruark Announces New Name For Child Advocacy Center


At yesterday's Child Advocacy Center Fundraiser, States Attorney Davis Ruark announced they will change the name to reference Sarah Foxwell in the near future.

Sheriff Lewis also attended the event along with quite a few Law Enforcement Officers. The crowd kept Chef Fred's pretty darned full throughout the entire time of the event.

OK, now let me do what I feel is necessary. Where was the Press BEFORE this event? ONE, (WMDT) showed up during the event but WBOC and The Daily Times never arrived. Mind you, (IMHO) its one thing to help the event out by promoting a non profit event in advance. It's another when you USE the event to sell ad space on your show or while you sell newspapers.

Several Bloggers took the time to promote this event in advance and quite a few people showed up because of it. I just find it shameful that the local MSM doesn't get involved in advance any more to help these kind of fundraisers. In fact, just take a look at your local paper any more. It gets thinner by the day and could use some spunk. Same goes with WBOC or WMDT. They mainly have National News instead of Local News.

Oh well, the more they keep this up the bigger Salisbury News grows. All I have been hearing lately is how much people enjoy our 6 PM News Broadcast. The main reason they enjoy it is because we cover LOCAL NEWS. Wake up MSM because the Bloggers are taking over. To us, it's NOT about the money and selling commercials. To us its about the Community.

In closing, Thank You Hope Entertainment! A special thanks also goes out to the fantastic Bands! It was a great time and Chef Fred's, (once again) delivered fantastic food and hospitality.
