Cary NC Group Wins Super Bowl Commercial Contest for Doritos

David Williams — Wed, 10 Feb 2010 04:15:58 +0000

Congratulations to local Cary resident Josh Svoboda & his partners that won $650,000 for their winning Doritos Super Bowl Commercial - “Underdog”!

I was pulling for the group not only because of their local Cary ties but due to my friendship with Josh’s mother Cindy and his brother DJ – I volunteer with both of them at Hope Community Church.

Josh isn’t the only one in the family with creative talent – Josh’s autistic brother DJ travels on a regular basis, sharing his testimony and his story of how he has embraced his autism by creating his very own company – myimagiville.com

The winning commercial was filmed at Cary’s Fred G. Bond Park off High House Road. The group also won a runner-up spot for ‘Kids These Days” – filmed at Cary’s Waverly Place Shopping Center.

Cary Group Preparing For Haiti Relief Trip

David Williams — Thu, 14 Jan 2010 01:56:29 +0000

A tremendous amount of attention is focused on Haiti right now as they recover from the massive earthquake. People are scrambling trying to find a way they can help – well – here’s a way!

There is a local organization right here in Cary with infrastructure already in place in Haiti – they have a group leaving in the next 72-96 hours – they are looking for experienced medical / search & rescue or translators

If you’re a regular reader of this blog you know I have strong ties to Hope Community Church – Why do I bring this up? Through the members of Hope Community Church a foundation was started several years ago – the Hope for Haiti Foundation – the group has been making trips to Haiti over the past several years – the foundation received a huge boost when Hope Community Church decided to purchase and renovate 2 buildings in Haiti for a hospital and dormitory – that’s right Cary’s Hope Community Church is building a hospital in Haiti!

Christmas Eve at Hope Community Church, No Fish but 5,000 plus

David Williams — Fri, 25 Dec 2009 04:00:07 +0000

Hope Community Church opened it’s doors on Christmas Eve for 4 identical worship services. No fish, but over 5,000 people attended the services.

The 1,500 seat auditorium was nearly packed for all 4 services. Okay, one clarification – the 4 services were not exactly identical – on paper they were supposed to be – the live donkey that made a brief appearance on stage the first few services decided to re-negotiate his contract and didn’t make it through all 4 services. The people that attended experienced friendly volunteers eager to serve, incredibly talented musicians and singers, and even a little snow at the end, but most importantly it provided an open door on Christmas eve for any and all to come hear of God’s love.

whether ticketed or not. There will also be overflow seating in the chapel via live video feed. We will

do our best to locate seating for everyone.

WAITING LISTS

We will continue to take names on our waiting lists and if/as unused tickets are turned back in for

redistribution, we will contact those on our waiting lists in first-come first-serve order. Please do not call the church office for tickets or to be placed on the waiting list. Please email info@gethope.net to be

placed on the waiting list and include your name, email address, and the number of tickets and for

which performance you need them. Should tickets become available for you, we will email you this

notification and the tickets will be placed at the will call window at that performance.

A Christmas Tale

A unique troupe of storytellers, singers and dancers gather together to present the timeless

and miraculous story of Christmas. A theatrical presentation for the whole family.

Free Tickets

Complimentary tickets available at the ticket counter during weekend services and through the

church office Monday-Friday, 9am-5pm. Tickets are free but allow us to alleviate overcrowding

in any one performance. All performances are general seating.

A Grandma in Cary orders a bowl FULL of Cherries!

clairehanes — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 14:25:40 +0000

Today is an extremely rare day for Cary Real Estate Grandma…there is NOTHING scheduled on my calendar. Not to say there’s not quite a few things on the ‘radar’ but none of it is time sensitive.

So, I’m sitting here reflecting. Reading through my friends’ status updates on Facebook and the Tweets of people I’m following on Twitter. And, I’m hit with a thought…life is good! This whole ’social media’ thing is so FANTASTIC for keeping in touch with what really matters. I mean, we all know life isn’t a bowl of cherries (oops, sorry if that’s news to you), there are plenty of pits that find their way into our bowl. But when I read through all these posts, I realize…we all want to accentuate the positive! Happy smiling faces in our photos, sharing the exciting news of our team’s big win, a restaurant we tried and loved, big plans for the weekend…etc.

Here’s the thing, I want to encourage you (and myself) to tune into all this positive energy! No, I’m not going ‘new age’ on you-but I believe if I learn to keep the focus on the blessings in my life and in the lives of my friends, then I might not have very much time left to contemplate where I think my life falls short. Count your blessings and be happy for the good things in your friends’ lives!

What a concept!

For the record: girls night out, hopefully some real estate, serving at Hope Community church, taking parents to Cary’s Bond park is all on the agenda for the weekend! Even if life isn’t just a bowl of cherries, I’m going to spit out the pits as I come to them instead of letting them break my teeth and make me cry…
