Good morning, Greensboro.

On Monday, Oct.20, Dot Kearns, a former county commissioner and education advocate who broke barriers as the first woman to serve and chair the Guilford County Board of Commissioners, died at age 94—her life of service touched many in Greensboro.

This morning, an Amazon Web Services outage caused many local businesses’ websites and apps (including those for coffee shops and fast food) to stop working as a central server failure began around 4:00 a.m. Experts expect it will take a couple of days for services to fully recover.

BSBE alumni Salem Clarke and Melody Varner are shaping North Carolina tourism by promoting local attractions and fostering economic growth.

Clarke manages tourism programs in Onslow County while Varner coordinates marketing in Randolph County—strengthening community partnerships across the state.

The Greensboro Fire Department announced this morning that a female therapy dog joined its team to boost firefighters' mental health.

The dog was purchased by the Greensboro Firefighters Foundation following a donation from the Bryan Foundation (its name will be chosen by social media) and will help manage work stress.
