The Chapel Hill-Carrboro Chamber of Commerce, in conjunction with Chapel Hill High School and East Chapel Hill High School, is sponsoring the Networking and Employment Fair to give students an opportunity to meet with local companies and business leaders.

The events will take place at Chapel Hill High School from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Tuesday and at East from 10:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Wednesday.


Seminar offered in Web marketing

The next seminar in the Chapel Hill-Carrboro Chamber's Seminar Series presented by Progress Energy will be held on June 5 from 2:30 to 4:30 p.m. at the chamber offices.

Alan Hecht of Multi-Channel Marketing will lead a presentation on "Internet Marketing: Getting Business Via Your Website." To register, call the Chamber at 967-7075.


Bike program seeks new hubs

Blue Urban Bikes, a community bike-share project in Chapel Hill and Carrboro, is looking to expand the program by adding two or three new stations, or "hubs."

The program allows registered participants to pick up a bike from a hub, use it for transportation during the day and drop it off at another hub.

Local business owners interested in hosting a hub should call 960-6886 or e-mail surgenc@yahoo.com.


Land donated for learning lab

The Legacy at Lake Jordan LCC, which is developing more than 600 acres adjacent to Jordan Lake, has donated 11 acres of land on the tract land to N.C. State University to be used as a learning laboratory. The site, previously zoned for community institutional use, will now be preserved in its natural state.

This conservation donation will create a nature's classroom for use by the Agricultural Education Program, which is part of N.C. State University, the Agricultural Foundation, the FFA Association and Chatham County Schools. The environmental laboratory will provide hands-on experience for students enrolled in the Chatham Central High School agricultural program.
