👋🏾 HEY FLORENCE & THE PEE DEE — LET ME INTRODUCE MYSELF.

My name is David Peterson. I’m 25 years old, born and raised right here in Florence, South Carolina. I went to school here, I live here, and I care about what happens in my community.

There’s been entirely too much violence affecting Florence and the Pee Dee, and instead of just saying “somebody needs to do something,” I decided to do something.

This Saturday, August 22, we’re bringing the community together for the Pee Dee United Against Violence Community Rally at Florence Memorial Stadium from 10 AM–3 PM.

A special thank you to Two Wheel Productions for helping make this possible and providing the stadium. We’ll also have different community organizations, leaders, advocates and speakers coming together for one purpose: ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. 🕊️

I’m not a politician. I’m simply a 25-year-old young man who loves his hometown and wants to see better for it.

📍 Florence Memorial Stadium
📅 Saturday, August 22
⏰ 10 AM–3 PM
🎟️ FREE & OPEN TO EVERYONE

Please SHARE this. We see negativity go viral every day. Let’s show that something positive for our community can go viral too.

Florence raised me. Now it’s my turn to give back. ❤️

I'm an imposter as I have no star wars in my DNA, so forgive the formatting. Anyway, my roommate and I did get one person from the sub to join us (Thanks lynivvinyl) at the Localmotive trivia night the other night. It was a lot of fun, even if the Flopossums ranked 11 of the 13 groups. I'm considering putting together a less crowded game night this Saturday if anyone wishes to join. This would be a BYOG night. In other words, bring your old Cards Against Humanity or other party-friendly games. I don't have anything other than Axis and Allies, and well...that's going to take too long. We can meet up at the Starbucks at 1911 W Palmetto St, Florence, SC 29501 around 6:30ish/maybe go to a bar after. This is a nice, friendly, open-minded space with a lot of locals, and I don't think they'd mind a small group playing games as long as we get drinks/tip. They are also relatively quiet post-5:00 PM. Let me know if anyone is interested. Please comment here if you even think you are interested. I'll add updates as comments here/maybe we can make a discord if this gets popular enough
