🌳Wake Forest to get a new Summer Moon Coffee location?

Good morning, W.Y.R. neighbors! This week looks like a great week to find indoor things to do, but that doesn’t mean you need to be stuck at home! We’ve got you covered from community centers, libraries, the movies, and more!

In today’s edition of The WYRe:

Let's get to it.

— Dave & Egle

Starting today, Tracks 1, 2, and 3 are back in session. Commuters, plan accordingly.

Wake Forest will honor Army veterans James and Joseph Davis at Monday's memorial flag ceremony at 11 AM in Centennial Plaza. The Davis family will attend as the Fire Department Honor Guard raises flags that will fly through July. This monthly tribute, running April through October, celebrates local veterans who made the ultimate sacrifice.
