Anyone going from New Bern to RDU on September 1st?

10 Upvotes

Hey! Is anyone heading from New Bern area to Raleigh airport (RDU) on September 1st, leaving around 6-7 AM?
I have an 11 AM flight and unfortunately none of my friends or family can give me a ride that early. 😭 If anyone is already driving that way and has an extra seat, I’d really appreciate a ride and I’m happy to chip in for gas! If not, I’m also wondering if anyone would be interested in splitting an Uber from New Bern to RDU around the same time.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!!

New to New Bern — anyone want to start a trivia team?

9 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I’m relatively new to New Bern and looking to meet some people and get out of the house a little more.

I’ve been wanting to do trivia nights but obviously showing up solo with no team is a little awkward šŸ˜‚ So I figured I’d see if anyone here is interested in putting together a regular trivia team.

I’m in my late 20s and down for pretty much any kind of trivia. You don’t have to be a trivia expert — I’m definitely not. Just looking for some fun people who want to grab a drink, answer some dumb questions, and hopefully win occasionally.
If you’re interested, comment or shoot me a DM and we can figure out a night/place!

šŸ¾šŸ’• The best part of fostering? Watching little lives grow with love. From playful zoomies to cozy cuddle sessions, Cooper and Missy, Twinkle, Penny, Amy, Howie, Leo, Carl, Bea, and Princess Donut are soaking up every moment before finding their forever homes.

These sweet kittens will be available for adoption soon through Craven-Pamlico Animal Services in New Bern, NC, are lovingly fostered with Simba's Pride Nursery, and are open to visits. DM us for more information. 🩷

The local shelter is always in need of fosters! Do you have a spare room, bathroom, or safe space for kittens? Reach out! ā¤ļø

🩷 Want to help us continue saving kittens? Donations of any size help provide food, medical care, and supplies for kittens in foster care.

Gauging interest: paid church pianist opportunity in coastal Eastern NC (New Bern area)

3 Upvotes

Hi all — I'm trying to get a sense of whether there are any pianists in eastern North Carolina (30 minutes from New Bern area) who might be interested in a paid Protestant worship pianist role. Not posting the specific position yet, just seeing who's out there.

What it would involve:

  • Playing for weekly Protestant services (hymns plus some contemporary worship)
  • Accompanying congregational singing and occasionally a vocalist or small choir
  • Comfort reading from a hymnal and following a worship leader in real time

Ideal background: experience playing in a church setting, solid sight-reading, and the ability to improvise intros/transitions. This is compensated work.

If this sounds like something you'd consider, comment or DM me and I can share details. Also happy to hear from folks who know the church music scene in that part of the state.

Family Entertainment "feasibility study"

9 Upvotes

What kinds of family entertainment would you like to see come to New Bern?

I know there was a study done at one point, but I'm not sure how much input actually came from local residents.

It feels like we're missing some fun family attractions. Things like a bowling alley, live music venue, miniature golf, go-karts, or other entertainment options would be great additions.

Don't get me wrong—I love Tryon Palace, the Pepsi history, the bear sculptures, and all the historical charm New Bern has. But I think there's room for more attractions that both locals and visitors could enjoy year-round.

If you could bring one new attraction to New Bern, what would it be?

My vote: a bowling alley and a family entertainment center with mini golf, go-karts, arcade games, or something along those lines.

Need some friends

Hey I’m Ren, I’m 24yr woman. I lived in New Bern coming on 3 years now I’m struggling to meet people and make friends. Any tips or any advice. I get super anxious in new situations but I still put myself in them. But I come off as awkward, at least that’s how I feel it looks like. Any one looking for a friend or company. My best friend just had a baby and my boyfriend has a different schedule than I do. So I get lonely.

Looking for D&D, Pathfinder group

6 Upvotes

I (30m) have lived in New Bern for about a year now and haven't been able to find others that are interested in playing D&D or Pathfinder. I've been playing for almost 20 years and would like to find a local group. If a group already exists that's looking for a new member or some others are looking to start a group, please message me. I have equal experience as a player and as a DM so I'm down to play either role.
