It’s Donate Life Month! Did you know more than 4,000 North Carolinians are waiting for a lifesaving transplant? You can save up to eight lives right here in our community by signing up to become an organ donor online or at the D-M-V. Visit Honorbridge.org to learn more about making this heroic decision.
Join us for a powerful and engaging presentation by designer, Marcus Kiser, as he shares his contribution to the Tryon Palace Foundation Inclusive Public Art Sculpture, along with sharing some educational components embedded within the sculpture. This is an opportunity for the community to learn more about this honorable sculpture that’s coming to New Bern.
This event is FREE to attend.

Come Again is a social respite program where people in early to middle stages of dementia spend time with trusted, trained volunteers in a safe, judgment-free space. We aim to bring joy, friendship, and purpose to everyone while giving care partners a chance to rest. Activities include fellowship, music, art, movement, and service projects, plus a hot lunch. Starting May 1, Come Again meets every Thursday from 10 am to 2 pm at Trinity United Methodist Church, 2311 Elizabeth Ave. There is a small fee to attend. Come Again honors our loved ones living with dementia by lifting up their remaining strengths in a supportive, creative and purposeful way. For more information about joining Come Again or volunteering, contact director Lindsay Roberts at lindsayroberts@newbernrespite.org, 919.428.0618 or www.newbernrespite.org.
