By Elliott Brack | Every now and then, a story comes by that just gladdens your heart. On Wednesday we heard of a gathering set for Saturday, June 20, from 2 to 5 p.m. at Thrasher Park in Norcross. It’s called the “Togetherness Project,” and has been organized by members of the 2011 Class of Norcross High School. It will be a catered cookout, free to all. All families in Norcross are invited.

MAY9, 2020 | Today we present the result of spending time and getting to know 91 candidates in the upcoming primary and non-partisan elections. We are proud to endorse this list of candidates.

If these candidates have opposition in the General Election, we will invite them to talk with us before November. In a few races, we do not find candidates worthy of election, and will not endorse in that race.
