| Thea's Ideas Christmas in July |
As a welcome respite from the soaring temperatures, Thea Kincaid brought the Christmas spirit to downtown New Bern on the 25th for her 10th Christmas in July, a promotional event hosted by the DoubleTree Hilton. This clever and fun event brings numerous vendors who display their wares giving local businesses an opportunity to see the products “up close and personal” as opposed to choosing promotional items in catalogs.
Thea’s Ideas, a local business for 18 years, is the distributor for a wide range of high quality promotional advertising products. In addition to being a successful business owner, Thea spends much of her time on community service projects and in that spirit of Christmas invited vendors and attendees to open their hearts, purses and/or wallets and contribute to Religious Community Services (RCS). A generous anonymous citizen has contributed $10,000 to RCS with a challenge to the community that all monetary contributions to RCS by August 1, will be matched dollar for dollar up to $10,000.
We hope readers will catch the spirit of Christmas and meet the challenge for this very worthy cause.
Religious Community Services is located at 919 George Street, New Bern 28560. Be sure and write Challenge on your check to insure it is matched in this campaign.

Executive Director
