Raleigh Professional Firefighters' Community Event
2024-08-07 18:00 - 20:00 | Crafty Beer Shop, 8450 Honeycutt Road, Raleigh, NC, 27615
Good Morning Raleigh Firefighter Supporter,
On behalf of the over 400 members of the Raleigh Firefighters Association that I represent, I’d like to cordially invite you to our next Meet and Confer Chat. This informal community meeting is an opportunity to sit down with firefighters, residents like yourselves, and elected officials to share frank discussion on the state of your fire department and safety in the City of Raleigh. At this event we will be hosting Councilor Megan Patton (District B), Councilor Jonathan Melton (At-large) and Councilor Mary Black (District A). With elections coming up this fall, we are rallying the community to support your firefighters and the best way to do that is to sit down with elected officials and let them know that is a priority to you (the voters). We’re just shy of 50 vacancies now (but we haven’t added new firefighters since 2014, for a city this size we are 150 firefighters short), and the City Manager’s office is heavily stalling our quest for a critical benefit that would help retain firefighters and make fire protection safer–Separation Allowance. We’ll go into more detail at the meeting, but we need your help Raleigh.
Bring your family, friends, and neighbors and let’s chat!
When: Wednesday August 7th from 6-8pm
Where: Crafty Beer Shop, 8450 Honeycutt Road
We will have another event in District D (Southwest Raleigh) in September, and one last event in District C (Southeast Raleigh) in October.
Come join us!

Elections, Libraries staff partner on one of largest initiatives to date
The Wake County Board of Elections and Wake County Public Libraries are partnering to offer voter services at eight local libraries on Saturdays this summer. Events will take place from 10 a.m.–2 p.m. June 22 through Aug. 17, with the exception of July 6.
Board of Elections staff will visit eight libraries over eight weekends to offer voter registration updates and upcoming election information. Visitors will also be able to get a photo voter ID, which is now required to be shown by registered voters who do not already have an acceptable ID. A full list of accepted voter IDs can be found at ncsbe.gov/voting/voter-id.
“We always strive to empower more people to vote in Wake County by making information and resources as accessible as possible,” said Olivia McCall, Board of Elections director. “This collaboration with the libraries is an excellent opportunity for us to provide accurate information and help residents better prepare for the upcoming elections.”
The two organizations have worked together to offer voter registration at local libraries for years, but this is one of the largest initiatives ever planned. The events provide a convenient opportunity for residents to get their voting needs met at locations across Wake County.
Join library and elections staff at one of the following events:

June 22 – Duraleigh Road Community Library in Raleigh
June 29 – Fuquay Varina Community Library in Fuquay-Varina
July 13 – Southeast Regional Library in Garner
July 20 – Oberlin Regional Library in Raleigh
