Note in the Pocket provides clothing to children and their families from socks to shoes to underwear to pants to tops to jackets. A school social worker puts in a request and Note in the Pocket takes care of the rest and delivers the clothing to the school. Note in the Pocket takes donations of gently used clothing. These are then sorted, processed to make sure the clothing meets the quality for these students. They even have an Amazon wishlist. For the last ten years there has been a Socks & Undies 5K Fun Run (or walk). They want to clothe 10,000 children in 2023. There is a virtual run for those that cannot go in person. Note in the Pocket has been a rewarding place to volunteer and donate as they are doing good one child at a time.

That wasn't my experience almost two years ago, but they've have assured me changes have been made and that's good enough for me.

It was about time I met a few of my kind on this new ground I was covering. (Recently moved North…read moreCarolina) A collection of amazing individuals. This book club is to be able to share experience, insight and secrets. Aside from the obvious of discussing books of all sorts. Whether a Writer, Author or just a reader. I attended the final meeting for the year and was able to contribute to the new years reading lists. Which also has Author appearances for 8 out of the 12. Pretty rad. There was a book gift exchange and I got to unwrap 2 new books! (nerd moment) The coordinator of the club is Alice an amazing real life character, Author and Editor. She was great and inviting. As well as the other folks. This club is open to the public. (No hecklers allowed) Meet up is last Friday of every month. I will try to put up a list of the books and Authors of our upcoming year as a picture if anyone is interested.

I've speed dated with this company on one or two occasions and the dating events I have attended…read morehave been nothing but exceptional. The clientele this company tends to attract consist of professionals and students who are too busy with other responsibilities (work, school, etc.) to take part in the dating scene. Clients are not only given the opportunity meet a potential date, but also make friends with fellow speed daters. The events are well planned and the service is second to none. If you're single and are in the area, I highly recommend attending a Master Dater event.

I am glad that you are able to enjoy its benefits. However, I was never able to join the organization because the owner did not think I had the correct tools to be a part of this group, i.e., cell phone and/or GPS. We never really discussed any of this. I was threatened with a lawsuit as noted below if I would not remove a "negative review". "You are being asked by me today to take down the Yelp review in 24 hours or we go to court. It will be costly and unpleasant. If you think that writing that type of review over an email is OK without you ever being a member of my organization - that is slander. My lawyer has already advised me that you will not win without having met me or even having ever been a member of Silver Connections. An email is not sufficient cause to slander someone's business. I am meeting with my lawyer and business manager on Tuesday morning and will move forward if the review is not gone by then. When a person apologizes and you still will not accept that apology and if I offered to put this behind us and meet and you still will not understand that we all make mistakes, then I have no other option but for this to become much, much more ugly than it could have been if you do not remove the review. I have no bad reviews anywhere because I have run a successful business for 15 years dedicated to those age 55+. My lawyer has said "that in itself will be a testament in the courts." He is ready to bring in my members as witnesses and all my venue partners in the Triangle to how much they love our group and my leadership. I have been advised to block any communication from you moving forward and I have done so." I only post this for informational purposes. It is in no way to hurt the owner, but this kind of behavior is unacceptable. And it only got worse from there. The owner did a good response on her review to the original review that was posted and sent it to me on Yelp. However, she made all time Yelp history, according to the representative I spoke to, at sending the same response to my email the first day at over 50 times.

Finally, the owner stopped the harassment. My only word of caution if you want to become a member of this association is that the owner can be volatile as is noted above. Once again, this is based on my personal opinion. I wish you the best.
