Greetings of the Season! Happy Hanukkah (<strong>December</strong> 2 to <strong>December</strong><br />
10)! Merry Christmas! Happy New Years! And if none of<br />
those work – Happy Holidays!<br />
There are a passel of events going on this season from the<br />
Christmas parade (you pick your town), open houses, concerts<br />
and recitals everywhere. Get out there and enjoy them. For more<br />
information, check out the Daily Advance online calendar.<br />
And when all the decorations are put away, the last cookie eaten,<br />
and Aunt Mabel’s heirloom fruitcake has been discreetly disposed<br />
of – get ready for Encore’s opening of the first production of our<br />
<strong>2018</strong>-2019 season with Time Warp, a locally developed production<br />
by our own Sarah Lee. The production opens on January 18, 2019<br />
with additional shows on January 19, a matinee on January 20,<br />
and evening shows on January 24,25, and 26.<br />
Tickets will go on sale to the general public on <strong>December</strong> 13. They<br />
can now be purchased online at artsaoa.org as well as in person<br />
at the Arts of the Albemarle, 516 E. Main St, Elizabeth City.<br />
We’ve added a new ticket option this year. You can purchase season<br />
tickets for $40 from <strong>December</strong> 13 until January 26. Season<br />
tickets allow you to choose the same seat for the same performance<br />
night or afternoon for the three shows in this season.<br />

lizabeth City Habitat for Humanity<br />
proudly dedicated its latest house at<br />
108 W. Broad St. on Nov. 17, just in time<br />
for the new homeowners to celebrate<br />
Thanksgiving in their new home. Owners<br />
Ricky Norman and Gloria Saunders<br />
received the keys to their new home during<br />
the ceremony and ribbon cutting.<br />
Selection as homeowners is a lengthy<br />
process which involves a credit check,<br />
examination of their ability to pay the mortgage,<br />
a home visit to determine the need<br />
for a new home, and completion of sweat<br />
equity hours. They were required to attend<br />
first time homebuyer classes at River City<br />
Community Development Corporation<br />
which included budgeting and credit counseling<br />
components.<br />
Homeowners must complete sweat<br />
equity to show that they are partnering with<br />
Habitat. Ricky and Gloria completed nearly<br />
300 hours of sweat equity and more than<br />
1500 hours of volunteer time were donated<br />
during this project.<br />
We are currently accepting applications<br />
from people interested in applying for home<br />
ownership of a house to be built in 2019.<br />
Applications can be picked up at the Elizabeth<br />
City Habitat for Humanity Sale Store,<br />
306 Mill St., on Tuesday, 2-6; Thursday,<br />
1-5; and Saturday 8-4; or at Taylor Mueller<br />
Realty, 440 S. Hughes Blvd. For further<br />
