Wendell News Outlet

I was thinking about the path the Wendell Community Coalition is following and what it hopes to accomplish. Then I started thinking about the fact, yes the fact, that Wendell is virtually invisible within Wake County. For example:

In Real Estate advertisements, where they have those little site maps, do you ever see Wendell? No, you see Rolesville, Knightdale and even Zebulon, but Wendell, no way! Guess this town doesn’t have any homes that people would be interested in buying.

When was the last time you read a positive article about Wendell in other than local papers? Seen something on TV? Something you could be proud of? Think about it, we don’t exist!

When people ask you where you live and you say Wendell, do they get a funny look on their faces? Do they say, Wendell, what’s out there?

This is a great town, with great people, who deserve the very best; who deserve to be looked upon with envy and respect. So, once again, what does the WCC hope to accomplish? I believe it’s trying to create a sense of pride; developing a town that has a future, a place people will want to live and raise their children.

Wendell is facing a tidal wave of humanity, no a tsunami of humanity, heading our way. It may not be evident this year, or next, but before you realize it we will be talking about Wendell with its population of 10000 or 15000 people. That’s where I believe the Wendell Community Coalition will have its greatest impact; on the character and future development of Wendell.

To accomplish these goals takes time and a lot of dedication to the cause. Are you willing to contribute your suggestions, comments and a few hours a month? If so, show up at the next meeting of the WCC; show the naysayer’s that there is an abundance of hope and determination within Wendell. Show them that their time is over and a new day is on the horizon!

Put Wendell back into Wake County! Become an activist! Stand up for yourself & the town!
