Tar Heel Trouble Makers 3.0; #ConnectingNC
The purpose of this Starter Pack is to connect North Carolinians to one another - to build community, but also to speed the flow of timely and potentially critical information throughout the state. What lies ahead is uncertain. We're going to need each other. ๐
