03/11/2010LOCAL BUSINESS – NAPA Store Now in Old Winn
Dixie Location – The Roxboro NAPA store has moved into a larger
store across from McDonalds where Winn Dixie used to be. I’ve
been in the store several times and it is very nice. I talked
with Tom Burnett and he said that they have the largest store in the
region and have received an award from NAPA for increased sales and
growth. Congratulations Tom and all the store employees! More Local Businesses Establish FaceBook Pages

The store formerly known as Desert Sands is located across from the

asking for feedback on what we would like to be considered to go
there. Go to this page and look on the right side about mid-page

the 2010 Census.
You should get your form next week at your home address. It is
simple and has no personal data. Please fill it out and return
it. For every person not counted in Person County, we stand to
lose $1500 in benefits and may lose representation in Congress.
If you do not complete the form, census takers will come to your home
to get the information. You should count everyone living in the home
as of April 1st. If someone is at college, then they
will get counted there. I’ve had to use the census data
extensively the last few months in applying for a Broadband Grant for
Internet Expansion in Person County. I can attest to the
importance of this information being accurate – please fill out and
return the form!! PERSONAL FAVORITE – Don’t forget that
April 22nd is Administrative Professionals day in
Roxboro. There is a recognition luncheon with a great speaker so
sign up your valued administrative employees today. Contact the
Chamber to reserve your places. 599-8333 ADVISORY – The Person-Caswell Lake Authority
reminds you to pick up your new boat dock tag at the office. All
docks have been reassigned new numbers so you’ll have to get the new
tag and put it up. West
and Woodall has volunteered to go get your tag and put it up
if you can’t get up here soon to do it or if you don’t have the
means to mount the tag. It is suppose to be located in a place
that can be viewed from the water. Call or contact West and
Woodall at: (336)322-5800 or email to: whit@westandwoodall.com
Thanks West and Woodall for providing this as a service to the
Hyco community! The numbering system use the logic of starting at the
North Hyco Hwy 57 bridge going counterclockwise around the shoreline
and ending up back at the bridge so if you are near St. Georges, your
number may be single digits and if near Tommy Middleton, then 2400 or
so. New boating law May 1, 2010 requires anyone
under 26 years old to take boat safety course for operating boats or jet skis
or anything with over 10 HP engine. (Click
