Retrospective Slideshow

Happy 21st Birthday, Union Acres Community! This is a retrospective slide show about the people and places of Union Acres and it takes about 27 minutes to watch.  You may press expand icon to enlarge the pictures or press the pause icon to enjoy any given picture for a longer time. The show begins with pictures of a graduation party for our teenagers and the general sequence is backwards in time, to the inception of our community. However, certain sequences are posted chronologically, such as the construction of our community center or homes. So far, some families submitted more pictures than others, but we would like to include more.  If you have any photos (old or recent) that you would like added to these Archives, please share them with treecarr@gmail.com or ccarrstarr@gmail.com so we can scan or post them in for everyone’s enjoyment. We hope you like watching this wonderful trip down memory lane!

Forest Tapley and Tristan Carr Request Membership

Dear Union Acres,

(As we grew up as children here at Union Acres and have lived here all or most of our lives, this is sort of a special case in community membership--we aren't going to answer the usual questions, but we will give the reasons we would like to become members.)

We are writing in request for an associate membership for long-time residents Tristan Carr and Forest Tapley. We are interested in membership because of the responsibilities and privileges we would gain, the extended family we could more confidently use as a resource for growth, and the group of people with a variety of spiritual paths that we can continue to be exposed to and grow from. As well as this, we would like to become members because of what we feel we have to offer.

Wayne and Susan Endter Request Membership

Dear Union Acres Members
Wayne and I would like to apply for membership at Union Acres. We love the community and very much would like to be a part of your lives. Both Wayne and I have been out of town and working on these questions by talking on phone. He can certainly answer for himself in more detail when he sees all of you. If anyone would like to talk to me by phone or email I am back home in California. My phone is 209-989-0213 For the sake of time I am not going to write more of a letter. I think it is more important at this point to get these responses out to all of you to review. I am very sorry that I am not going to be there with all of you but I couldn't take Shelby out of school at the end of
the term. I think of all of you often.
Best Wishes,
Sue Endter

1.How did you hear about Union Acres and who referred you to us?
We read about Union Acres in the Intentional Communities guidebook and then visited the website. We were already looking at other intentional communities in NC.
