UPDATE ON SOUP (Save Our Upcountry Payless)
So far, we have collected nearly a thousand signatures on our petition to save the Payless IGA store...and we are still working on it!  Today, tomorrow and Friday a couple of us will be gathering petitions in front of the store from 3-6pm.  We could still use volunteers to do this since we intend to send the petitions under a strong cover letter by May 1.  Please call Cherylanne at 295-8846 if you can volunteer.
   We have met not one person who wants this store to become Family Dollar Store, so we are hopeful our work here will have an impact.  Please feel free to go to our UCC webpage, uccamador.com , to print a copy of the petition and gather as many signatures as you can in your neighborhoods, churches, etc.  The petitions should be dropped at Porky's Pizza in Buckhorn, as it says at bottom of the petition.
 I will provide another update next week, as well I will send the meeting notice and agenda for our May 13 UCC meeting.
My Best,
Lynn Morgan
UCC Chair
