HORSEPOWER Therapeutic Learning Center is a non-profit organization serving the Piedmont Triad community since 1995 and affiliated with the Piedmont Saddle Club since 1998. We are a premier PATH International center and provide therapeutic equine activities for over 300 individuals with disabilities each year.

Dear Volunteers, partents, students and supporters,

There is a wonderful family who is opening a Frozen Yogurt Bar called Di'lishi in northern Greensboro. It’s located at 4016-D Battleground Ave. in Greensboro (near the Harris Teeter Store just off the Horse Pen Creek Rd., Old Battleground Ave., and the Hwy. 220 intersection).

We have met the owners and they are passionate about being involved in this community. Each quarter they will feature 3 non-profits on their “voting wall”. Customers will be able to read about each non-profit and vote for them; each and every time they come in for fro-yo. At the end of the quarter, each non-profit will receive a donation (1st Place~$500, 2nd Place~ $300, or 3rd Place~ $200). Everybody wins!

HORSEPOWER Therapeutic Learning Center has been selected as one of three area nonprofits who are being featured on their “voting wall” this first quarter in business. Let’s help launch this business and let’s secure that first place award of $500. That would give two of our riders a scholarship for an entire six-week session and you know what that means to our riders; lots of smiles!

Everyone’s a winner in this! You and your family can enjoy quality family time together; share a delicious treat; help grow a new business; and help riders of HORSEPOWER TLC Learning. That is a lot of bang for your buck and all for a great cause. When you stop by Di’lishi please tell Cindy that you are with HORSEPOWER!

AN ALERT TO ALL HORSEPOWER CLIENTS, VOLUNTEERS, AND SUPPORTERS!
Leabourne Road to be Temporarily Closed at N.C. 68 in Guilford County
Work to be performed as part of GTCC expansion project

RALEIGH — As part of the construction of Guilford Technical Community College’s Donald W. Cameron Campus, Leabourne Road will be temporarily closed at N.C. 68 in Guilford County beginning Monday, Feb. 25 through Friday, May 31.

The closure is necessary to allow GTCC contractor crews to widen and adjust the grade of existing Leabourne Road to accommodate the driveway connecting the road to the new campus. The work is required by an encroachment agreement with the N.C. Department of Transportation and is designed to complement NCDOT’s planned improvements to N.C. 68 as part of the future N.C. 68-U.S. 220 Connector project.

Motorists should use the following signed detour route and are encouraged to allow additional time to reach their destination:

NCDOT reminds motorists to watch signs for construction information, stay alert and obey the posted speed limit.
