Holly Springs Community Band Needs Members We invite all concert band musicians to join us in making music and friends. Have you ever wanted to be in a band but didn't think you were good enough? If so, we're the band you are looking for. The Holly Springs Community Band is full of fun-loving musicians who enjoy playing music (to the best our abilities) and appreciate being a part of an ensemble. We would like to share the opportunity with others to dust off their instruments and join in the fun! Anyone who plays a band instrument is invited to join. No auditions are required. We present a number of concerts throughout the year including the ever popular Christmas concert and our many theme concerts. We practice most Thursdays at the Holly Springs Cultural Arts Center from 7 -8:30pm. The center is located at 300 W Ballentine St Holly Springs, NC 27540.

Simple Precautions Can Stop Thieves Holly Springs police say common sense and a few simple precautions can reduce your chances of being victimized by thieves during the holiday shopping season. Thieves are busy, too, this time of year and are on the lookout for victims inside stores and in parking lots.
“If you make yourself an easy target,” Police Chief John Herring said, “you're going to be singled out.” Lock your car. Put gifts and items of even modest value in the trunk. Don't leave pocketbooks unattended in shopping carts, even for a few seconds. Those are examples of the easy things that shoppers can do to avoid being victimized.
Holly Springs ranked as the safest town in North Carolina with a population of more than 10,000, according to a 2005 comparison of FBI crime statistics by the Shelby Star newspaper. “We live in a safe town,” Herring said. “Sometimes that sense of security leads to people letting their guard down.”
Civitans are everyday citizens, just like you and me, who come together in communities throughout the world to make life better for their neighbors.
Please come and visit with the newly forming Holly Springs Civitan Club. We meet the first and third Thursday at 6:30 PM at the Devil's Ridge Golf Course Clubhouse. We will even buy first time attendees meals!
If you are not familiar with the Civitan Club, we are devoted to improving the lives of children and adults with developmental disabilities through efforts such as summer camps, vocational programs, special Olympic games and cutting-edge research into Autism, Cerebral Palsy and Alzheimers at the Civitan International Research Center.
For more information please call Chip Moore at (919) 816-5165 or Sabrina Thompson at (919) 422-9962.
