FOCUS: Gwinnett Clean and Beautiful plans watershed clean-up

By Kasie Bolling | Celebrating its 16th year, Great Days of Service is a cooperative and community-focused initiative created by the Gwinnett Coalition for Health and Human Services. Because the environment plays such a vital role in the health and wellness of the citizens it serves, another local nonprofit has been honored to play a role in Great Days of Service since its inception. Gwinnett Clean and Beautiful (GCB) is proud to carry on that tradition with a special focus on a local watershed.

FOCUS: Story behind the giant videoboard at Norcross High School

By Harvey Snider, president, Norcross Touchdown Club | So, what’s the story on this new 31×50 foot videoboard at Norcross High School’s football field?
