GUESS WHO????
If there’s one thing our listeners love, other than Carolina Beach Music of course, it’s a contest!
And it’s time for one of the favorite contests of all…the Mystery Grand Marshall Contest! Don David, Parade Chairman of SOS, will once again tease us with clues until someone correctly names the one (ones?) who will lead the 16th Annual SOS Parade!
Beginning Monday March 29 Don will call in a clue (one clue per day) on T Bear’s, Ted’s, and Ray’s shows. You must listen for the cue from the broadcasters as to when this will happen. These clues will also be posted on the CONTEST page each day. This will continue with a new clue each day (Monday through Friday) until April 16, or before, obviously, if someone makes the correct guess.
The SOS Parade will take place Saturday April 24, and the winner will ride with the Surf Team! The winner will also receive a gift certificate from the SOS Company Store, 2 SOS passes, a Surf bag full of goodies, and maybe another surprise or two.
We remember from past years that there may be more than one Grand Marshall, so keep your minds open and your ears on 94.9 The Surf!
Remember…listen for the cues for the clues!! |
ROARING MARCH
We’ve all heard “If March comes in like a lion, it will go out as a lamb.”
If this is true, we are in for another cold month. Of course, we can then anticipate a gentle transition into April. Many of our listeners, especially in the Northeast, are recovering from the latest snow, with yet another storm in the near horizon. Have no fear…the first official day of spring is March 20!
March is known as American Red Cross Month, Women’s History Month, and Irish-American Heritage Month.
In addition, we also have that great NCAA countdown known as MARCH MADNESS. This year the ACC Women’s Basketball Tournament will be held in Greensboro, NC March 4 – 7, while the Men’s Tournament will be March 11 – 14 in the same location. Likewise, the SEC Women’s Tournament will be March 4 – 7 in Duluth, Georgia, and the Men’s will be March 11 – 14 in Nashville, Tennessee. Whoever your team is, this is basketball month!

AVERT “ DISASTER FATIGUE” !!
There are plusses and minuses to every situation we encounter. On the one hand, technology has transformed our existence into a state of immediate information and visuals that inform us in real time of news around the globe. The down side to this is the possible emotional overload that can occur every time we pick up a newspaper or turn on the television. While we are fortunate to be able to learn what’s going on in our world in record time, or almost “as soon as it happens”, it is hard for many of us to escape the anxiety that very often accompanies the reporting. We’ve not gotten over Haiti, and now it’s Chile. And of course there’s the ongoing saga of Afghanistan. It is important to keep it all in perspective and to try to achieve balance. In this vein, we offer the following timely article, reprinted by permission from Michelle Morton. It appeared recently in the Greensboro, NC newspaper News and Record. |

2010 Census to Begin THIS IS PRETTY BASIC ADVICE; 
Be Cautious About Giving Info to Census Workers by Susan Johnson
With the U.S. Census process beginning, the Better Business Bureau (BBB)
advises people to be cooperative, but cautious, so as not to become a victim
of fraud or identity theft. The first phase of the 2010 U.S. Census is under
way as workers have begun verifying the addresses of households across the
country. Eventually, more than 140,000 U.S. Census workers will count every
person in the United States and will gather information about every person
living at each address including name, age, gender, race, and other relevant
data.
The big question is - how do you tell the difference between a U.S. Census
worker and a con artist? BBB offers the following advice:
If a U.S. Census worker knocks on your door, they will have a badge, a
handheld device, a Census Bureau canvas bag, and a confidentiality notice.
Ask to see their identification and their badge before answering their
questions. However, you should never invite anyone you don't know into your
home.
