Local governments, if you have legal ads that you’d like to publish, send them our way to mileslayton1969@gmail.com — WE WILL PUBLISH THEM FOR FREE.
That doesn’t mean you shouldn’t continue to send these legal ads, as required by state law, to deadtree media outlets that reach dozens of readers but charge you an arm and a leg for that privilege, only that the Albemarle Observer, which reaches many thousands of readers each week, will publish these notices for free because the community should know what’s going in their county, towns, etc. Really, if we can copy and paste it, we will publish it.

Committees are made up of local citizens who have an interest in the long-term care facilities in their communities. CACs were established by the North Carolina State Legislature (G.S. 131D-31 and G.S. 131E-128) to be volunteer, grassroots advocates for resident rights in long-term care facilities and serve Nursing Homes, Adult Care Homes, and Family Care Homes within their county. CAC members are trained by the Regional Ombudsman, designated by the State Ombudsman, and appointed to their Committees by County Commissioners. Advisory Committee Members are required by North Carolina General Statutes to complete 36 hours of initial orientation and training prior to exercising any power under G.S. 131D-32. Appointees must be 18 years or older and must reside in the county that they serve. They cannot have an immediate family member residing in or employed by the type of home that their committee covers, nor can they have a financial interest in a long-term care facility. If you are interested in serving on the Community Advisory Committee in your county, please contact Mary Hunnicutt, Clerk to the Board of Commissioners, at (252) 426-8484 or Melissa Hines, Regional Long- Term Care Ombudsman, at (252) 404-7086.

The North Carolina Senior Tar Heel Legislature (NCSTHL) was authorized by the North Carolina General Assembly to assess the needs of older citizens, promote citizen involvement and advocacy concerning aging issues, and provide information and education to older adults on legislative process and matters being considered by the NCGA. The NCSTHL develops recommendations to present to the North Carolina General Assembly for consideration. Perquimans County can appoint one delegate to the NCSTHL for a two-year term and an alternate, if available.
