I got a recent email from a reader who had a great meal last night at Yamato’s.  Here is what the reader said: I wanted to give a positive review for the new menu changes at Yamato…they now have sushi and it’s great!  Once they get their service piece working a little better (their wait staffs need some training), the food there is EXCELLENT – the combination dishes with chicken, filet mignon, shrimp, etc. are really good and the noodles they serve are really tender.  I had the sushi last night and can highly recommend the wasabi roll – very tasty and a beautiful presentation.  I’m looking forward to trying all of them eventually!

ADVISORY –  We have been advised by the RPD that there are counterfeit $20 bills being passed around our area. The suspect is medium complexioned black male, mid 20s, corn rows, with a very distinctive nose.  May be accompanied by a heavy set black female and they may have a child.  Possibly traveling in a old Honda.  Be sure to use a test pin to check all 20s and 100s.

 

 

COMMUNITY INFO – The Person County United Way drive is currently underway.  Please give so that area organizations can benefit.  See more info at: http://www.pcunitedway.org/

 

The Roxboro Rotary Club is also in their Paper Drive Fundraiser to help local and international organizations.  This is a fund raiser that has no overhead so all the profit goes to organizations that the local Rotarians hand pick.  You also get a usable product such as Charmin toilet paper and Bounty paper towels so there is no excuse for buying your paper products in bulk and making a donation to area projects.  They also deliver to your home or business so you don’t even have to handle the products.  At our home, we use two cases of Charmin and one case of Bounty for the year for two people so stock up!  $50/case which includes 96 or 48 rolls of toilet paper and 30 rolls of paper towels.  I’m sure you are connected to one of these organizations that will benefit this year:

Scholarship to a graduating student at Person High School
Scholarship to a graduating student at Roxboro Community School
Antigua school supplies project
Christian Help Center
Pregnancy Support Center
Waccamaw Boys and Girls Home
