BRACK: No One Eats Alone program makes sense; UGA football’s “G” logo
By Elliott Brack | Often some of the better ideas are so simple that we think: “Wonder why we did not think of that earlier?”
This came to mind when reading Tim Anderson’s column in the Fitzgerald Herald-Leader recently. Tim was writing about an idea he heard from Jenkins County Middle School in Millen.
Tim wrote: “It’s always refreshing to see common sense break out. I read last week about a program started in Millen at Jenkins County Middle School. School administrators have introduced their students to a nationwide program called No One Eats Alone.
Gwinnett Forum | Dec. 20, 2024
“….if you are not happy you had better stop worrying about it and see what treasures you can pluck from your own brand of unhappiness.”
— Canadian Author Robertson Davies (1913-1995).

- Require the Georgia Legislature to meet only once every two years.
- 21st century salary for the Gwinnett County Commission members.
- Remove chewing gum on sidewalks at entrances of post offices and other governmental buildings.
