Many small business owners don't want to network
because they think it's about shoving your business
card in someone's hand and boasting about what you
do. In fact, networking is actually about getting to
know people whom you can help and who can help
you. Mike Collins will present networking tips and
strategies on the art of networking.

The Education Department of the Dunn Area Chamber of Commerce
announces the inaugural Golden Apple Awards. This new Chamber program
will help recognize the efforts of standout teachers in our Dunn Area Schools.
Two teachers from two schools, randomly chosen from the schools Principal‘s
nominations, will be highlighted every month that school is in session.
Congratulations Michaela McDonald
5th Grade Teacher
Wayne Avenue
Congratulations Caitlyn Klingler
Kindergarten Teacher
Harnett Primary
“Ms. McDonald has a go-getter attitude and is excited
about teaching. Her positivity is contagious! She
implements activities that get the students up and
moving, as well as facilitates team building activities. She
has created a welcoming and safe classroom environment
for her diverse group of students. Ms. McDonald shows a
commitment to her students and the school by going
above and beyond her teaching assignments. We are very
blessed to have her!” said former Wayne Avenue School
Principal, Mesha Campbell.
“Research tells us that if we want all students to succeed,
each student needs to participate equally. This can be
observed in Ms. Klingler’s classroom any day and
anytime of the week. Ms. Klingler does an exceptional job
with creating a classroom environment where students
can be observed simultaneously interacting with one
another,” according to Dr. Sylvia Wilkins, Harnett
Primary’s Principal.

Twenty-five students recently participated in the spring 2015 Laser & Photonics FUN with Lasers Workshop on Central
Carolina Community College’s Harnett Campus. Gary Beasley, who is Lead Instructor for the CCCC’s Laser & Photonics program,
conducted the event. Students attended from schools across Harnett County including Coats-Erwin and Dunn middle schools; Triton
high school; and Cape Fear Christian Academy .
Lab Assistants Chris Baggett, Kaitlyn Camp, Colt Dudley, and Alex Voytik were on hand to demonstrate how electrical
components are used to conduct light, melt a brick
using a high-powered laser beam, and show students
a colorful light display using an Argon-Krypton
Laser. The workshop taught students how crystals
and fiber are incorporated into the technology they
use every day. Students watched as their names
appeared on a nametag with the use of the CO2
Engraving Laser.

An Academic Honors Breakfast was held on Tuesday, March 10 at Triton High School, sponsored by the Triton Academic
Booster Club. During the breakfast, 350 students were honored for earning a grade point average of 3.63 or higher.
Students were treated to a chicken biscuit breakfast and a visit from
Clayton White, a 1996 Triton graduate and football standout who played for N.C.
State and was drafted by the New York Giants. Now he serves as the safety and
co-special teams coordinator at N.C. State.
Mr. White said speaking to a group of top academic students was quite a
challenge, as he usually talked to groups of kids in danger of dropping out of high
school—those who considered themselves “too cool for school.” He stressed the
qualities of leaders—focus, determination and perseverance, but added that true
leaders and “most valuable players” also help those around them achieve, as well.
In closing Mr. White said, “keep getting better, keep rising, and if you do
that and bring someone else with you, that makes you the real MVP.”

Commissioners Jim Burgin and Abe

Officer Brian Haney, Representative
David Lewis, Senator Ronald Rabin,
Pat Fitzgerald, County Commissioner
Gordon Springle, and Mayor Oscar
Harris.
On March 9th officials from the City, County, State and National legislatures met at DeBorah's Restaurant for an update on the state
of the various areas of government in Harnett County.
Dunn Mayor Oscar Harris reported on three upcoming events for the City including the dedication of the new Rooms to Go; the
dedication of the official re-opening of Tyler Park; and the expansion of sewer lines over to Love's Travel Stop, of which Love's is covering the
total cost and will allow others to tap into the City water supply creating future income.
Bill Tyson of CCCC spoke about the offerings at the new Dunn Campus which will offer culinary and hospitality programs with state-of
-the-art equipment; as well as a program for High School students to receive college credits towards an Associates degree prior to graduating.
County Public Information Officer Brian Haney spoke about several projects including the expansion of Ray Road in western Harnett
County; an expansion at the water treatment plant, increasing water treatment from 24 million gallons to 42 million gallons. He also spoke
about the economic growth, citing the building of a Walmart Super Center on Hwy. 87, as well as Campbell University's expansion to the
Osteopathic School and an engineering program. The County Economic Development and Planning Depart. will collaborate on updating the
county's economic development and comprehensive land use plan; last updated over 10 years ago.
Senator Ronald Rabin is focused on economic growth for Harnett County, continuing his work on the tax code, containing spending
and reducing regulations on businesses. He is also a great proponent of the partnerships with community college systems. He also spoke to
the recent gas tax discussions. Another initiative for the Senator is to reintroduce a bill to lessen the term limits for legislatures to a four-year
term, with a four-term limit.
Representative David Lewis also spoke to the gas tax issue, stating the need for a long term solution to avoid loss of revenue. He also
hopes the Department of Transportation will be able to add efficiencies to continue to support the need for road infrastructure and
maintenance. Rep. Lewis also spoke to the necessity of the historic tax credit to continue to give all counties in the state the ability to use and
receive monies to refurbish historic buildings and sites. He liked to see the credits converted to a grant program.
Pat Fitzgerald spoke on behalf of Congresswoman Renee Ellmers efforts in Washington and locally. She stated Congresswoman
Ellmers has passed a bi-partisan anti-human trafficking bill to help fund training of front line emergency workers to identify and deal with human
trafficking in hospitals and medical facilities. She also spoke about another bi-partisan bill, call the 21st Century Cure Initiative, which will allow
for the discovery and delivery of cures and treatments. Congresswoman Ellmers is also still working on maintaining the 440th Airborne Wing at
Fort Bragg.
Russell Galvan, Vice President of the Chamber's Governmental Affairs Committee concluded the meeting by thanking everyone for
attending and for all the officials presenting on behalf of their respective offices.
The Dunn Young Professionals held a Networking Lunch on
March 10 at Pizza Inn, moderated by Chair/VP Russell Galvan. The
event began with an open discussion during a pizza buffet lunch,
followed by introductions and a question chosen at random by each
attendee. Some of the topics addressed were, “What was the most
recent book you read?” to “What was you most significant career
break?” to “Why are you here today?”
The next YP event will be the “Successful Business
Leaders” Forum on April 30th at Brass Lantern—see insert for details.
