Joanne, a long-time animal rescue advocate as well, will serve as 2018- 2019 President-elect for Kiwanis of the Sandhills. Kiwanis is a global organization of volunteers dedicated to improving the world, one child and one community at a time. “I’ve been given a blessed life and the opportunity to make a difference,” says Joanne. “There are battered women, hungry children, homeless Veterans who have served our country. We can talk about these things, but until we immerse ourselves into gaining a better understanding, we can only grasp a life riddled with hunger, fear and grief.” “Everyone, no matter their circumstances, should strive to do just one good thing every day to make someone’s life better,” adds Dan. A world of people giving back and paying it forward. Imagine! Dan was always involved with the Boy Scouts Program and the Men’s Club at their Church. In the late 1990’s and early 2000’s – when an empty nest freed up their time – both Dan and Joanne held volunteer positions of leadership with their professional and school organizations. Today, Dan, an artist at heart, creates thought-provoking art, www.Visions- ByConrad.com and is deeply involved in the art arena around the Sandhills as well as donating his work to Stroke of Patriotism. The Conrad’s moved to the Sandhills in 2006 and it wasn’t long before they found their volunteer niche. While living in Seven Lakes West, Dan’s neighbor was forming a local Chapter of the Vietnam Veterans of America (VVA) and asked Dan to join. Dan immediately got on board and worked the public relations side. Ten year later, Dan is now President of that Chapter (966, Moore County.) As President of the local Chapter 966, Dan likens himself as the Quarterback of the organization. The Vietnam Veterans of America work to connect those Veterans and military families in need with the resources that can help them. Local Chapters also raise funds that are directly distributed to their recipients. of all veterans do not claim the benefi ts they have earned. Education and action by the thousands of members and volunteers of the VVA hopes to change that. Dan fervently urges every American to explore the many services, programs and outreaches that VVA provides. “And Kids need Kiwanis!” Joanne is quick to exclaim. The Backpack Program, academic scholarships, Key Over the lifetime of their marriage, the Conrad’s have supported each other’s volunteering efforts. They each have their own areas of strength and share their time and talents in each other’s endeavors – Dan is a “marketing genius” according to his wife, and Dan boasts Joanne can do “anything and everything computers.”Their essence of giving is stronger together.

We all crashed at his house and had a blast. One of the things I most remember is not the “Golden Bear” winning in 72’ , but all of the food and drinks being so cheap. This is the first time I had the “privilege” of having a pimento cheese sandwich. It is as special as Rae’s Creek, the Green Jacket or Amen Corner at the Masters. What you can devour is a sandwich of two names and five ingredients, a quick item to grab at the Masters concession stands. Some call it the “Caviar of the South”. It comes sealed in green plastic, a color that blends in with the Augusta National in case the wrapper goes fl ying around. They drink mint juleps at the Kentucky Derby, and eat Big Dodger Dogs in L. A. No one is sure how the Pimento Cheese Sandwich became the signature taste of the Masters, beginning with its debut in 1934. Tournament officials, in keeping with their traditional policy, had “no comment” or made any staff members available for comment. So it’s still a mystery how they came about, how many are sold and how the numbers stack up against the popular egg salad sandwich. While scrummaging around my Mom’s old cookbook at Seven Lakes I came upon an old yellowed faded recipe for the “Southern Caviar...” “Caviar Of The South” RECIPE 2 cups shredded extra-sharp Cheddar cheese--8 ounces cream cheese-- softened--1/2 cup mayonnaise--1/4 teaspoon garlic powder--1/4 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper--1/4 teaspoon onion powder--1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced--1 (4 ounce) jar diced pimento, drained--salt and black pepper to taste. Place the Cheddar cheese, cream cheese, mayonnaise, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, onion powder, minced jalapeno, and pimento into the large bowl of a mixer. Beat at medium speed, with paddle if possible, until thoroughly combined. By: Rick Levinger horses, two cats, and a miniature donkey named Doc Holliday. None of this is new to Allison, who has been an animal lover since she can remember. “Once we found Splash and Dash, we knew we’d found the perfect fit for us and for the community we envisioned bringing it to!” said Allison, who grew up with family dogs and cats and got her first horse when she was 13 years old. While in college, she studied both public relations and equine business. After multiple deployments to the Middle East, Scott took a job in 2010 as an instructor where he would not be deployed for a few years. Scott had so many great experiences with military working dogs that he thought a Belgian Malinois would be a great fit. That’s when Jackie, a Belgian Malinois, entered his life. Jackie is his constant companion and triathlon training partner. When Allison and Scott found Splash and Dash Groomerie and Boutiques, they knew that they had found the next leg of their journey. They chose Splash and Dash because of the family values that they both share. “Splash and Dash treats pets as family and we do too” said Allison.

And none of them are wrong.” W.R Purche Here are just a few of the amazing and adorable reasons why dogs are the best pets in the world: They’ll greet you like you’ve been gone a century when you only went out for a five-minute trip to the store. They keep your bed warm for you when it gets cold at night. Dogs will watch TV with you without hogging the remote. Dogs find the greatest joy in even the simplest of things, like a ride in the car. Dogs are the best because, unlike people (and most cats), they love you unconditionally. They know how to take awesome selfies. Dogs will inspire you to stop and sniff the flowers. And, according to the American Heart Association, owning a dog may even protect you from heart disease.

Joanne, a long-time animal rescue advocate as well, will serve as 2018- 2019 President-elect for Kiwanis of the Sandhills. Kiwanis is a global organization of volunteers dedicated to improving the world, one child and one community at a time. “I’ve been given a blessed life and the opportunity to make a difference,” says Joanne. “There are battered women, hungry children, homeless Veterans who have served our country. We can talk about these things, but until we immerse ourselves into gaining a better understanding, we can only grasp a life riddled with hunger, fear and grief.” “Everyone, no matter their circumstances, should strive to do just one good thing every day to make someone’s life better,” adds Dan. A world of people giving back and paying it forward. Imagine! Joanne and Dan met each other back in their middle school years while living near Rochester, NY. They reunited in their late teens and married in 1970 – forty-eight years strong. Even with raising their two children, Deanna and Daniel, and a job that moved Dan from state to state, the Conrad’s were always giving of their time and talents. In the 1980’s and 90’s Joanne’s volunteering included time spent with Lifeline, triaging life-threatening calls to the local hospital, interviewing Head Start Program candidates – fast forward to 2017 reading to Head Start kids – life coming full circle for her. Dan was always involved with the Boy Scouts Program and the Men’s Club at their Church. In the late 1990’s and early 2000’s – when an empty nest freed up their time – both Dan and Joanne held volunteer positions of leadership with their professional and school organizations. Today, Dan, an artist at heart, creates thought-provoking art, www.Visions- ByConrad.com and is deeply involved in the art arena around the Sandhills as well as donating his work to Stroke of Patriotism. The Conrad’s moved to the Sandhills in 2006 and it wasn’t long before they found their volunteer niche. While living in Seven Lakes West, Dan’s neighbor was forming a local Chapter of the Vietnam Veterans of America (VVA) and asked Dan to join. Dan immediately got on board and worked the public relations side. Ten year later, Dan is now President of that Chapter (966, Moore County.) As President of the local Chapter 966, Dan likens himself as the Quarterback of the organization. The Vietnam Veterans of America work to connect those Veterans and military families in need with the resources that can help them. Local Chapters also raise funds that are directly distributed to their recipients. “I was enlisted during that Era,” tells Dan. “I witnessed the treatment those who saw combat received when they returned stateside. We don’t ever again want any Veteran to go through that. Our volunteers give back to those who made the ultimate sacrifi ce and to those who are still making that s acrifi c e.” According to the Vietnam Veterans of America website, almost two-thirds of all veterans do no fi ts they have earne Education and act sands of members the VVA hopes to c fervently urges ever plore the many se and outreaches tha “And Kids need Kiw quick to exclaim.
