• Road work alert!

But first, today's weather:

Mostly sunny and pleasant. High: 77 Low: 59.

Here are the top stories today in Mooresville:

1. If you are headed off on vacation this summer remember that the Mooresville Police Department offers a Home Security Check program for Mooresville residents. The way the program works is that while you are away, MPD will check your residence on a random basis, looking for signs of suspicious activity. Any situation discovered that needs immediate attention will be addressed. This program is meant to be supplemental to your primary home security arrangements. House checks cannot exceed 14 days, must be submitted at least 10 days in advance, and homes MUST be inside town limits. Request a Home Security Check by clicking here.

2. Have you ever wondered why the Feed NC site is called Donoghue’s Open Door? The back story is that thanks to John and Pam Donoghue, gave this program life through their generosity and dedication. The couple's faith leads them to offer their time, talents and treasures to mission-focused organizations in our community. When FeedNC began to build a new home, John generously offered to become the capital campaign chair to assist in lead the charge in telling the community about the need for increased space for the mission of FeedNC and to offer his passion for the project. John’s leadership was the primary reason that the campaign was successful. The Donoghue family expressed interest in naming the new community dining space at FeedNC and thus Donoghue’s Open Door Community Dining and Events was born. (Feed NC via Facebook)
3. Road work alert! Take the necessary precautions. The Town of Mooresville Constructio Crews will be replacing an aged waterline on McLelland Avenue, between Main Street and S. Church Street this week. The road won’t be shut down, crews will be working along the sidewalk. Please use caution in the area for everyone's safety. (Town of Mooresville NC via Facebook)
