Local candidates from Raleigh,
Durham, Cary, Chapel Hill --and even Pittsboro and Siler
City -- came out recently to “stump” the crowd at the
Triangle Community Coalition’s (TCC) eighth annual
“Political Pig Picking” on August 27, 2009.
The event, held from 5:30 to
8:30 p.m. at the Brier Creek Country Club, provided an
opportunity for the over 120 attendees to mingle with local
candidates, have a little barbecue, and participate in a
“straw poll” following a round of old fashion “stump
speeches” by over 50 candidates for local office.
“This event continues to attract
a diverse set of candidates from across the region. It’s the
only event where voters actually get to hear what candidates
stand for, and participate in a follow up straw poll,” said
Laurie Donofrio, Chair of the TCC. “It’s not only a fun
event, but the folks who attend actually learn something
about each candidate -- and the candidates love giving their
speech to the audience.”
We would like to extend a
special thanks to our volunteers at RRAR who helped with
registration.
We would also like to thank our
sponsors: Toll Brothers, K&L Gates, The John R. McAdams
Company, CDM, Raleigh Regional Association of Realtors®,
Pulte Homes, Triangle Commercial Association of Realtors®
and PIP Printing, Cary NC. This event could not take place
without your generosity and financial support!

 July
2009: The Raleigh Chamber YPN Community Involvement Event
gave the TCC an opportunity to network with Raleigh-area
young professionals.
The Chamber’s Young Professionals Network provides
events every other month designed to engage young
professionals, ages 25-39, and help them become more
competitive in the business arena. The program also helps
young professionals establish a web of business contacts
through networking and grow both personally and
professionally through a variety of program topics –
including community involvement, which is an important
element of both personal and professional growth.

Donofrio, 2009 Chairman, Spencer Combos, Accounting, Etc.
