HAVE JUSTICE ON YOUR SIDE
Concentrating in Family Law with over 15 years of military & government experience
The Thomas Law Firm 2525-B Raeford Road, Fayetteville | 910.223.3044 | www.thomasfamilylawfirm.com Fayetteville earned top honors as one of the National Civic League's All-America Cities I
t seems fitting that the "All-American City" should get the All-America City award, and for the third time Fayetteville brought the honor home this year. Judges for the award were impressed with the city's revitalization efforts and with a 90-second on- line video which highlights the transformation from the negative "Fayettenam" to the
positive "FayetteNOW". And it couldn't have hurt that our city's team at the award confer- ence in Kansas City, Mo. were accompanied by the 82nd Airborne All-American Chorus. Each year the National Civic League recognizes ten communities for outstanding civic
accomplishments. Winning cities must demonstrate innovation, inclusiveness, civic en- gagement, and cross-sector collaboration by describing successful efforts to address
pressing local challenges. The All-America City designation has helped communities win grants and new resourc- es and attract new employers. An official celebration of the All-America City win took place Friday, July 1 at 6 p.m. in Festival Park at the corner of Rowan and Ray Streets.
