Greetings,

We're happy to report that N.C. A&T State University will host our second Public Hearing, Friday and Saturday, Aug. 26 and 27. We're still getting feedback about how much people learned at our first hearing. If you missed it, you don't want it to happen again.

Some of the positive feedback came from the latest in our series of community conversations – the one last Thursday with local journalists. Big thanks to all who attended and shared their immensely helpful memories, questions and thoughts.
We're also grateful this week to the many lawyers--prosecutors, defense attorneys and others--who are lending their invaluable assistance in helping us unravel the mysteries of the Nov. 3 trials. We're especially grateful to them for agreeing to speak at the next hearing
Finally, thanks to all who attended our GTRC Social last Tuesday. We’re open to ideas for the next one. We promise next time not to schedule it on an evening when most of our friends have a conflict (sorry!).
This week's progress indicator: We're about to break 100 in the number of people from whom we've taken formal statements! (Have you given yours yet?)
>Volunteer of the Week: Scott Pryor, our former consultant who started this work even before the Commission was born, is back now, working as hard as when he was paid to make our Si Kahn fundraiser a success. Thanks, Scott!
