Tuesday was a big day here in Chapel Hill.

608 people helped set a world record (*and I can officially mark off my biggest goal for the year!). UNC is very proud to have set the world record for the longest spoon train!

Thanks David and all the dear friends for doing this.

Together a lot is possible.
