Pastor Appreciation Month
2023-10-01 08:00 - 2023-10-03 17:00
Pastor Appreciation Special Edition
On October 5, The Carolinian will publish its first annual Pastor Appreciation Special Edition. With October being Pastor Appreciation Month, it is the perfect time to honor your Church Founders, Ministers, Clergy, and of course your Pastors.
The special edition will be included in the newspaper for all to see.
Those entering the ministry do so because they feel called to the mission. While they may intellectually know the pressures they will face, the reality can feel different, and at times overwhelming.
Pastors are there during the most stressful and difficult times of our lives. When someone is sick or has died, during a divorce, or when life requires difficult choices, a minister
is often the first person called. Their role as counselors
and mentors is a vital part of the ministry.
The Church needs a solid foundation to remain strong. Today, many churches rely on the ministry to be
the rock their Church is built upon. Show your appreciation for all that your Pastors do to keep the congregation and the community strong.
To place an ad in the Pastors Appreciation Special Edition please call the office at 919-834-5558 or email us at ads@caro.news.

“WHO AM I?” - Musical Short Film
2023-10-06 08:00 - 2023-10-08 17:00 | NC State University Centennial Campus, 1840 Entrepreneur Dr, Raleigh, NC, 27606, United States
“WHO AM I?” – musical short film, starring N.C., Grammy-nominated artist Petey Pablo, to screen at Charlotte Film Festival and Raleigh Film & Art Festival this fall.
When Hip Hop and Mental Health meet.
“Who Am I?,” a musical short film that aims to demystify the practice of mental health, will be screening at North Carolina film festivals this fall. Starring Charlotte native Alex Ellis and Grammy-nominated artist Petey Pablo, the film addresses the stigma that seeking therapy is a form of weakness or brokenness, when it is the first place to start rebuilding, breaking through our narratives and becoming more aligned with who we truly are.
The film will screen at the Charlotte Film Festival Sept. 27- Oct.1, and at the Raleigh Film & Art Festival, Oct. 6-8. It was previously screened at the Hip Hop Film Festival, New York, in August 2023, and the North Carolina Film Festival, New Bern, N.C, in July 2023. The trailer is available here: https://vimeo.com/manage/videos/839484866
“Who Am I?” is the fourth project Ellis has solely written, produced and starred in.
“Both Petey and I were born and raised in North Carolina, and it’s an honor for “Who Am I?” to be chosen as one of the top films at these festivals, especially considering the worthy competition and limited slots,” said Ellis. “It’s exciting to see our film gain momentum on a larger platform as it tackles the stigma surrounding mental health and encourages people to seek help. I’d love to normalize going inward to find your answers mainstream.”
As told through the eyes of the main character, Petey, the skeptic in turmoil, he begins to trust the process, open up and reflect on a past he has not reconciled with ever before. The musical portion of this short is a metaphorical dive into the inner psyche of how our minds rewire trauma, thought, memory and experience. It’s humorous, thought provoking and a love letter to anyone grappling with discomfort and leaning in.

“I love storytelling and connecting people. One day I was brainstorming an idea of a therapy session turned into a musical fever dream, when I remembered literally running into Petey after he opened for Snoop Dogg in Charlotte one Christmas years ago,” said Ellis of the inspiration behind Who Am I? “We’d been following each other on IG for years after that, looking for a chance to collaborate. It was a domino effect that came together like a puzzle but at the end of the day, the inspiration was to create healing for humans on a higher level. And to normalize anxiety, grief and pain.
Written and produced by Ellis. Starring Ellis and Pablo. Directed by Christine Lakin.
Alex Ellis Bio:
Alex is a multi-hyphenate artist. Most recently, she starred as Rose Dewitt Bukater in the Off-Broadway hit musical TITANIQUE in New York City. She was also a producer on the project.
Broadway/National Tours: Catch Me If You Can, On A Clear Day You Can See Forever, Thoroughly Modern Millie (Millie), Legally Blonde, They’re Playing Our Song. TV: Hot In Cleveland, The Goldbergs, The Unicorn, Man With A Plan, Hollywood Darlings, The Movie Show.

Alzheimer’s Educational Conference
2023-10-18 10:00 - 13:00 | Hilton Raleigh North Hills Hotel, 3415 Wake Forest Road, Raleigh, NC, 27609, United States
Raleigh-Durham Area Residents Invited to Free Alzheimer’s Educational Conference on October 18 Sponsored by the Alzheimer’s Foundation of America.

NEW YORK (September 11, 2023)— The Alzheimer’s Foundation of America (AFA) will host a free Alzheimer’s & Caregiving Educational Conference for Raleigh-Durham area residents on Wednesday, October 18 from 10:00 am to 1:00 pm ET at the Hilton Raleigh North Hills Hotel (3415 Wake Forest Road, Raleigh) as part of its 2023 national Educating America Tour. The free conference is open to everyone and will allow participants to learn from experts in the field of Alzheimer’s disease, brain health, and caregiving. To register, go to www.alzfdn.org/tour. Advanced registration is highly recommended.
“Knowledge is a useful and powerful tool that can help make any situation easier to navigate, especially something as challenging as caring for a loved one with Alzheimer’s disease,” said Charles J. Fuschillo, Jr., AFA’s President & CEO. “Connecting families with useful, practical information and support that can help them now and be better prepared for the future is what this conference is all about. Whether Alzheimer’s is affecting your family, you are a caregiver or just want to learn more about brain health, we invite you to join us on October 18.”
Sessions during the AFA conference will include:
Brain Changes: Seeing More Than Just Loss– Alzheimer’s disease and other dementia-related illnesses cause changes in cognitive function, and further changes in brain activity and symptoms occur as the disease progresses. Teepa Snow, MS, OTR/L, FAOTA, will discuss the value of recognizing the retained abilities of various states of brain change. She will also provide examples of ways in which these abilities can be used to promote a sense of control and self-direction, resulting in more positive interactions.
Teepa Snow is an Occupational Therapist with over 40 years of clinical and academic experience. She is one of the leading educators on dementia and best care practices in the country. Her experiences led her to the development of the GEMS® State Model and the Positive Approach® training strategies. She is the Owner and Founder of Positive Approach to Care® (PAC), which provides online and in-person education and products to support those living with brain change, with the mission of creating a more inclusive global community. She also leads Snow Approach, a nonprofit organization based in Hillsborough, North Carolina.
Advances in Alzheimer’s Disease, Diagnosis & Treatment– There are a lot of promising research studies and clinical trials working to bring us closer towards finding a cure for Alzheimer’s disease. Early diagnosis is of utmost importance since it not only benefits the individual by providing prompt treatment, it also affords greater opportunity to participate in clinical trials. Daniel Parker, MD, will review exciting advances in the diagnosis and treatment of Alzheimer’s disease, as well as explain what a clinical trial is and the potential benefits of enrolling in one.
Dr. Parker is a geriatrician, memory disorders specialist, and physician-scientist, and an Assistant Professor in Geriatric Medicine and Neurology at Duke University School of Medicine.
Riding the Roller Coaster of Caregiving– Caring for someone with a dementia-related illness is a labor of love, but it can also be very stressful and lead to a variety of emotions, including stress, guilt, anxiety, and frustration. Lisa Levine, CDP, CMDCP, will explore the many emotions that go hand-in-hand with caring for someone with dementia, offer tips on how to constructively work through these emotions, and provide resources to help.
Ms. Levine is the Senior Director of Programs for Dementia Alliance of North Carolina, where she is responsible for educational outreach and the implementation and evaluation of programs and services. She has extensive experience working in skilled nursing facilities.
Free, confidential memory screenings will be conducted throughout the day.
For more information or to register for the October 18 conference, visit www.alzfdn.org/tour.
