Good morning, Greenville.

A social justice group launched the Amani Collective at 1100 Ward St., transforming the former Lucille Gorham Intergenerational Center into a hub for youth development and education.

An open house drew local visitors and new programs (like Safe Zones and legal clinics) will begin in July.

During their weekly garbage pickup, a sanitation worker surprised two Winterville sisters with mini toy trucks, sparking a cherished family tradition.

The gesture reminds the community that small acts of kindness matter (the girls eagerly await the truck every week).

The Mid-Atlantic Hunting and Fishing Expo will take place on July 11 and 12 at the Greenville Convention Center after a winter snowstorm canceled its January event; the expo offers over 100 vendors with hunting and fishing gear, fun activities, food, and giveaways (including a five-day South African safari).

ECU Student Government Association announced new leadership with Ryan Grant as president and Audrey Frank as vice president.

They plan to boost campus safety, expand 1Card access, and build community partnerships while following a service-first agenda (sworn in during April's SGA banquet).

A year after state law limited cell phone use, school officials are evaluating stricter rules that may involve collecting phones at the start of class to reduce distractions & improve social interaction; they plan to discuss the changes in August.

The current policy already cut classroom disruptions.

The Kiwanis Club of Greater Greenville awarded its annual community service scholarships to three Pitt County Schools graduates, reflecting its support for local youth.

The program honors students who contribute to the community.

A delayed stormwater project will close a local road next week, and officials advise drivers to use alternate routes + check for updates.

The change may affect daily commutes as the work continues.

The Pitt County Council on Aging has established the Aging Endowment Fund in partnership with the Community Foundation of NC East to support seniors with nutrition, wellness, Medicare counseling, and transportation.

They will formally announce the partnership tomorrow at (10:30 a.m.) at the Council on Aging.

Cody Spaulding, known as The Salty Paramedic, visited Greenville Tuesday to speak with first responders about mental health awareness at an event hosted by Greenville Fire/Rescue and Pitt Community College.
