Good morning, High Point.

A local rescue group is urging residents to adopt Tabi, a rescued pet showcased in their campaign to find her a permanent, loving home — the effort is part of a broader push to increase animal adoptions in the community.

Jim Longworth—along with his guests—discussed community engagement and local strategies to strengthen neighborhood bonds in a recent talk that focused on fresh ideas for resident involvement.

A High Point woman, 53-year-old Wendy Gibson-Fitzgerald, pleaded guilty to eight counts of wire fraud and was sentenced to seven years in prison — she used another person’s information to get loans and credit cards, stealing $466,766.79 from 2017 through May 2020.

Jim Longworth and guests discussed JetZero, lifelong learning, and speed painting on Triad Today + the talk offered insights into local innovation.

On Saturday morning, I Am A Queen distributed 1,000 book bags and school supplies at Greensboro Sportsplex to help families in Guilford and Rockingham counties ease back-to-school costs—volunteers say the items boost students’ confidence and readiness for the new school year.
