Home from SC and from a county job event....If I could take back yesterday and redo it (I think I would). BUT, I would not of met Clay Aiken and sit at the same table with him. You have to lose something or someone, to win everything — with Clay Aiken.

From Facebook. Clay attended another event on Saturday:

Thank you to all those who came out to support the Hoke Reading/Literacy Celebration on Saturday night. We had an amazing guest speaker Mr. Earl Mills, who shared with us his story of growing up not being able to read, how he overcame those difficulties and is now the author of several books.

We were thrilled to have another special guest, former American Idol contestant Clay Aiken, who spoke eloquently of the need for increased funding for education and increased support for teachers.

Special thanks to our elected official who were in attendance: Representative Garland Pierce, Mayor John McNeill, Commissioner Ellen McNeill, and Hoke County Board of Education members Barbara Buie and Irish Pickett.

Congratulations to our students for their hard work and efforts over the 2013-2014 school year. We are proud of you all.

The special awards for this year were presented to the following:

Raz Autry Award - Student of the year - Chloe McLaughlin (child)

and Ercilia Lopez (adult)

Doris Calloway Award - Tutor of the Year - Jerry Moulton

J.D. McAllister Award - Supporter of the Year - City of Raeford

Hoke Reading/Literacy Council Volunteer of the Year -

Eriquiesha Bratcher

Your support of our program and our students is greatly appreciated.

5 Ways Reporters Can Capitalize on the Selfie Fad

The Clay Part:

Five ideas on how selfies can be worked into news coverage:

1. Political News:

Selfies have fundamentally changed the way politicians interact on the campaign trail.

As The Washington Post points out, candidates must field multiple selfie requests, prompting at least one candidate, former American Idol star Clay Aiken, running for Congress in North Carolina’s second district, to offer to take them himself to save time.

Consider tracking a candidate’s selfies and placing those on an interactive map to illustrate a candidate’s campaign trail. Cover when politicians agree to a selfie (and when they decline) or chart which campaign events generated the most selfies. Another idea: Ask readers to provide hashtags on candidate selfies (#aikenselfie perhaps?) to help you better track them.

Includes this picture from a few months ago:

Linda and I went to a BBQ event for Clay Aiken tonight. Had a good time; met Clay and his mom, Attorney General Roy Cooper, Secretary of State Elaine Marshall and a bunch of really nice folks. We had a great time, we have a great candidate this year!

Email from Nick.

Hi Everyone,

We're less than a month away from the bowling event in NYC!!! There has been such an incredible response to this opportunity, both by those who are coming and from those who wished they could, that we wanted to come up with a way for anyone who can't attend to still have the chance to be supportive AND possibly be one of three lucky people to score a pretty unique piece of memorabilia.

Please click this link to learn more: http://clayaiken.ngpvanhost.com/form/-5791768299686590720

As always, I'm constantly looking for unique ways to say thank you for your enduring support. Hopefully the shirt and shoes off Clay's back and feet falls under the "unique" category!

Looking forward to seeing you at the lanes!

I think that's one thing many people don't know about him, but many of us do, because of this wee bit of obsession about his clothes -- his frugalness! I think I want him trying to run my government, because I think he knows more about money that he lets on!

RALEIGH, N.C. -

Democratic Sen. Kay Hagan and congressional candidate Clay Aiken are among the scheduled speakers at the annual convention of the state AFL-CIO in Raleigh.
