Shante Anderson hoped the CommUNITY Summer Jamz/Resource Fair would serve as a way for Surry County residents to learn about resources available to them in the community.
On that count, she considers Saturday’s event to be a rousing success.
It also turned out to be a lot of just plain fun for those involved as well.
More than 170 people attended the event, along with representatives from The Shepherd’s House, Helping Hands, Surry Medical Ministries, the All Star Prevention Team, and Northern Regional Pediatrics.
Anderson, who is executive director of Equality in Action, said prior to the gathering she wanted folks in the community to turn out to meet representatives from the vendors, to learn what services they offered to individuals and families.

To the members of Princeton Public Schools Board of Education:
As faith leaders, we believe that the names of our schools should speak to the best of where we have been and who we are, and inspire us to what we seek to become. We were encouraged when in 2020 the Princeton Public Schools decided to listen to the principled appeals of justice-loving communities in Princeton and remove the name of “John Witherspoon” from our local middle school as a remnant of a legacy of slavery, white supremacy, and racial injustice. We were also encouraged when the leadership of our public schools wisely decided to give the community at large (students and community) the opportunity to contribute to the decision-making process for the renaming of the middle school. Democratic decision-making is a hallmark of so many of our healthiest communities and best practices.
