Supporting our local schools and its programs and activities is our responsibility as parents and citizens. There are many ways we can do this--

• contributions
  
  
• volunteering our time and resources
  
  
• attendance at functions, game and activities
  
  
• encouraging students, teachers and all those who work in the schools, programs and activities

All these are wonderful ways to support our schools and students but what if you could help support the local high school band and it would not cost you any extra money or time? How great would that be?

It is true, you can! Every time you buy groceries you can help the Swansboro High School Band Boosters.

(band practice)

The program is called LionShop and Share. When you shop at Food Lion and use your MVP card a portion of your grocery bill will be donated to the Swansboro Bank Boosters.

Here is what you must do to participate:

• If you do not have a Food Lion MVP card, pick up a registration card at Food Lion.
  
  
• Once you have a MVP card go to the website (make sure pop-up blocker is turned off)
  
  
• Next click on "Register your MVP card"
  
  
• Click "Select an Organization"
  
  
• In the pop-up, click on "NC", "Swansboro" and "Swansboro High School Band Boosters"
  
  
• Click "OK" and "Add MVP cards"
  
  
• Fill in all registration information
  
  
• Click "Next"

You will receive notification that you are now enrolled in the program.

Each time you shop at Food Lion, remember to have your MVP card scanned so the donation will be made to the Swansboro High Band Booster.

This does not interfere with the MVP discounts and specials nor do you have to purchase MVP specials for the donation to be made. A portion of your purchase is donated each time you shop and have your card scanned if you register your card.

We thank Food Lion for its commitment and generosity to the communities and people they serve with the LionShop and Share program .

Summer is officially over but for those of us who live in Swansboro, Hubert, Camp LeJeune or surronding areas in Onslow County, NC on the coast of Eastern North Carolina; this is a time of the year we always look forward to.

Our weather is still warm and the beaches are beautiful and uncrowded. The nights are cooler, some of the humidity is gone and the water seems more clear and a deeper shade of blue. . Does it get any better than that? I think not!

So it is off to the beach we go. It's a great time to take our dogs to the beach where they can run and play in the water. What a fun day for us as well as our dogs. But there is always a price to pay, right? The down side to this is a wet, sandy and salty dog! What to do?

I have the answer! Take your dog to the "Swansboro Express Care Dog Wash" of course! It is located on Corbett Avenue so you can't miss it. This is the perfect solution. The dog wash is a convenient, easy and efficient way to wash away the sand and salt and take home a clean, happy dog.

Of course while you are there, you need to wash the sand and salt off your car too and perhaps get a lube and oil change.

Oh, I almost forgot..... if you are looking to buy or sell real estate in Swansboro, Hubert, Richlands, Jacksonville or any area of Onslow County, I would love to hear from you.

The Swansboro and Hubert area of Onslow County NC is a fantastic place to live. It is quite a challenge to determine where one ends and the other begins. The two towns merge and meld quietly.

Swansboro is a quaint, historic town located on the White Oak River between Atlantic Beach and Topsail Beach. It is known as “The Friendly City By the Sea” and once you have visited there, met and talked with the residents, you will understand why the nickname. There are unique waterfront boutiques, shops and restaurants whose owners welcome visitors with open

arms and hearts displaying true Southern hospitality.

Residential development in Swansboro has flourished with beautiful waterfront communities as well as those off the water. Living in Swansboro is convenient to many other locations such as Camp LeJeune and Cherry Point Marine bases. It is an ideal location for those who seek small town living by the water, water activities and those who appreciate mild winters.

Hubert has a post office but no downtown, it is more of a residential community with small, mostly locally owned businesses located primarily along Highway 24 otherwise known as Freedom's Way(so named because this is the route the marines travel back to their home base when returning from overseas conflicts and duties).

There are still a few small farms in the area with their roadside stands offering their vegetables, fruit, flowers and homemade goodies during the appropriate seasons.

There are several marvelous neighborhoods and the range of house price and size is very broad. One of the most notable and desirable neighborhoods is Kingsbridge on Queens Creek marketed by Kingsbridge Realty, Inc. As the name implies, it is located on Queens Creek and what a lovely setting it is.

The newer section of this neighborhood feature many large waterfront homes with a picturesque view of the creek. There is water and boat access for the residents and a boathouse is also under construction for their use and enjoyment. A new section is due to open within the next 60 days with waterfront and water view home sites available.

Hubert residents are very fortunate as they are located in one of the most desirable Onslow County School districts. Many people elect to live in the area just so their children can attend the schools here.

Hubert has a diverse population with many retirees, military families, and transplants as well as long time residents. The location is convenient to Camp LeJeune Marine base in Jacksonville with the back gate about a 10 minute drive away.

Jacksonville is a short, painless drive from Hubert where the shopping, banking, airport and interstate access is quick and easy. Residents enjoy the relaxed lifestyle Hubert provides while its location offers recreational opportunities such as the area beaches and waterways with outstanding fishing and boating.

As I have said many times, real estate is local, even in the same county. While ones towns' home sales may be brisk, sales may be slower in a neighboring town. If you have questions or need more information, contact me.
