Goodwill in critical need of donations SPECrAi It) llll ( HRONICl I Goodwill officials are issu ing an urgent public call for more immediate donations to replenish merchandise in their 19 retail stores covering 31 counties. Despite a successful end-of-the-year donation drive, in the past rtionth. Goodwill has seen "a tremendous decrease in donations. "We believe the economy has everything to do with it. Local layoffs seettf to be a large reason that your normal retail customers are now coming to Goodwill to shop for bargains." said Billy Whitaker, president of Goodwill Industries of North west North Carolina Inc. "Although this is great for our sales, there is a catch: We must have donations to sell." Donations to Goodwill are traditionally slow during the winter months; however, the surplus of year-encf donations normally lasts through April when the giving picks up agaifi as people do their "spring clean ing." According to a survey con ducted by UNCCy Urban Insti tute in 2001, 89 percent of the community has donated clothing or household items to nonprofits in the previous 12 months and 69 percent of those people give most frequently to Goodwill. The survey also shows that typi cally the average donor gives to Goodwill three times a year spring, fall, and end of year for tax deductions. "We are encouraging the local community to donate now," Whitaker said. "Goodwill especially is in need of house hold items and clothing." Donors will not only receive valuable tax deductions, but they also get the chance to help put people back to work. Mon eys received from the sale of merchandise in the retail stores allow Goodw ill to prepare, train, and place individuals with dis abilities and other barriers to employment in meaningful jobs. Goodwill Industries of Northwest North Carolina Inc. has. in addition to retail stores, 17 attended donation centefs located throughout 31 counties. For more information, call Goodwill at 724-3621 (ext. 222) or visit www.goodwillnwnc.org. Newspaper from page C7 Tbejease allows the authority to receive a financial accounting of arena operations each year. But it also says that Gale Force can claim that some information is trade-secret exempt from disclo sure under the state's public records law. As a result, authority mem ber havfc reviewed arena finances in closed-door meetings, and they have declined to take possession of financial documents prepared by Gale Force. The N&O has objected to the closed meetings, as well as the authority's failure to retain those documents. Quarles wrote that details of arena revenues and expenditures do not constitute trade secrets and should be made public. Gale Force has reported gross arena revenues, which were about $40 million last year. Album from pa^e C7 "Today is the first day of the best days of your life." sing Lawrence & Tri-City Singers. You find yourself enamored with the pos sibilities of God's works and preparations made for you on this song. It breaks down and evokes a spirit of chanting and beautiful harmonies to those who hear it. This is evidenced by the response of audience members, who chime in without hesitancy. Yes. some of the album's gems were recorded live. "I Can't Complain" tugs at the hearts and sentiments of those who acknow ledge that to gripe means you aren't trusting God. It's driving and yet not overpow ering. "You Keep on Blessing Me" takes a sample from Evelyn "Champagrte" King's "Love Come Down." ;ui R&B hit from the '80s. What is so cool about this song. Which may be offen sive to die-hard gospel lovers, is that it's indicative of exactly why many young people love Lawrence. He approaches gospel music from a perspective that represents the voice of the persdp: who feels slighted and not in touch with traditional gospel. The younger Christian who is looking for understanding is more apt to be touched by Lawrence's grooves. This is not your mama's gospel music. Yet it appeals to those who may have been turned away previously from this type of gospel music. Lawrence & Tri-City Singers are obviously aware of change and have seized the opportunity to touch the listeners, right where they are. In listening to this album. I felt refreshed, reminded, renewed. Lawrence & Tri-City Singers have an equation that will continually propel them to the status of award winners. It's not through any deception but by consciously addressing God's calling with dignity, integrity and skills! The other standouts on this ajbum are: "Miracle," which is a duet by Lawrence and one of the members of Tri-City Singers: and "Seasons." whose hook says. "Those seeds that you sow. you're gonna come into your own season. Walk into your sea son." Try w alking into your season, and trust and obey that whatever is for you is for you. I insist this album has to be one of the things for you! Get ready, to take that journey down what is becoming a rather crowded street - with some beautiful melodies off in the horizon. Donald Lawrence & Tri-City Singers shine.- shine, shine, and the luster is worth the blinding. Look for the upcoming Chronicle inten iew with Donald iMwr&nce & Tri-City Singers later in the month.
