Some stories worth sharing this week:
- A pair of features in the Sunday paper about two people with commitments to fresh thinking about Charlotte’s future--Candice Langston gets set to host a convention of creative thinkers September 24 at TEDxCharlotte, the Queen City version of a Silicon Valley thinkfest; and local sustainability advocate Shannon Binns continues to develop ways to improve the city’s long-term quality of life through the nonprofit Sustain Charlotte.
- Mayor Anthony Foxx, the freshly named chair of the U.S. Conference of Mayors’ Small Business Task Force, is trying to come up with ways to help small businesses grow in the recession.
- The Charlotte Chapter of The Links Inc. will sponsor a two-mile walk starting in Marshall Park on September 18 to raise awareness about childhood obesity, a problem that’s worst among Latino boys and African-American girls.
- And the magnificent pre-autumn weather over the weekend meant a monster turnout for a festival that’s raised more than $750,000 for area nonprofits and volunteer efforts--Matthews Alive! Were you there?
