[SoDu Sunrise Showcase] Appreciation Nothing to Sneeze About

Well, neighbors, we've made it to another Friday. How yellow is your car this week? Are your dark shirts sufficiently dusted with pollen?

Between sneezing bouts, I wanted to take a moment to say thanks to the sponsors who during the past year have made Southpoint Access possible, including:

• Matthew Burkert with Constantinou & Burkert Law Offices.
• Jill Burton with Jill Burton & Associates.
• Holly Hayes with NEST Realty.
• The St. Barbara Greek Orthodox Church Festival (which is coming soon, May 3-4!)

Run a business that serves customers in South Durham? Consider becoming a sponsor for as little as $50 per week!

But you know who else deserves appreciation? The readers who have paid for subscriptions, recognizing the value of ultra-local South Durham news and the time and effort that's required for your neighborhood news guy and some great freelancers to provide this content.

So here's a shout-out to folks like Amy, Preston, Anson, Judith, Ariel, Glenn, Charlie, Emily, Victoria, Chip, Jennifer, Andrew, Linda, Cathy, Sam, Jane, and Richard!
