Happy Easter Sunday

Happy Easter Sunday

We will have a quiet day today that will include watching Music & the Spoken Word.

April 12th is an important date in North Carolina as it is the date that the Halifax Resolves was signed

The Halifax Resolves was a name later given to the resolution adopted by North Carolina on April 12, 1776. The adoption of the resolution was the first official action in the American Colonies calling for independence from Great Britain during the American Revolution. The Halifax Resolves helped pave the way for the presentation to Congress of the United States Declaration of Independence less than three months later.

This is why the date April 12th 1776 appears on the state flag and First in Freedom is the motto on our car license plates.
