The Green Grocery Shopper

Good Morning Neighbor:

It was so great to see many of our neighbors at the Tyrone Earth Day event.  The presence of our Task Force at such an event truly shows that our community will always endeavor to make a difference in the lives of others.  Our Task Force devised a Green Grocery Flyer and I am copying it below in case you were unable to pick one up this past Saturday.  I also want to give you a local website for Spezzano's Village Market  - http://www.spezzanos.com/ - you can purchase organic vegetables from their coop at a very reasonable price - they are located in Tyrone.  Also, you will see information below for the Two Doves organic farm in Peachtree City.  If you know of any organic farmers or coops in the South Fulton area, please let me know.

On a more non-green note, it is important that you know that the Peachtree City Council decided to spray sewage effluent onto their recreational fields.  I have posted The Citizen article on The Community Voice Forum for you to read and make a decision as to how you as a citizen should respond.  This is not just a practice happening in PTC but is happening in many places and it is important that you find out what is being sprayed on your local recreation areas and if this is a risk that you want your children or your neighbor's children to take.

A New Adventure

Good Morning Neighbor:

I am so excited to greet you this morning.  I have so looked forward to this day when I could share with you about the Environmental Institute of Georgia - a vision that has been in the works for many months now.  As we have always known, good will always reign supreme and this Institute is born out of the goodness of many, many hearts that want to make a difference in our world.  The enclosed article really says it all and I hope that you will join EIOG in the days and months ahead as you learn more and more about the great things it brings to not only our local community but to the State of Georgia.

Also, if you are out and about this weekend, make an effort to stop by the Earth Day Celebration in Tyrone this Saturday.  Our Task Force will have a booth there with a special emphasis on providing our community ways to shop for pesticide free grocery items.  EIOG will also have a booth where you can sign your children up for summer biology camps and while they are at the booth look through a microscope at a lot of creepy things (too creepy for me) - as Dennis Chase says, " he will never make a biologist out of me"!!

Once again, I walk this earth today feeling so very blessed to be a part of something greater than myself and knowing that people who stand together for the higher good always, always make a difference!!!

Dear Ms. Biemiller,

I have attached a copy of our inspector's trip report for you information. If you have any further questions, please contact Derrick Williams at 404-362-2537.

Good Evening Neighbor:

You will find a great article written below by Ben Nelms with regard to the Final Health Consultation.  I encourage you to click on to this article and then blog underneath it - it only takes a second to sign-up to blog and it would make a great statement that this community is not compromising on this subject!  I will then send this link to our Legislators and State Agencies showing the blogs as well from the community.  

Make your voice heard!!

Your neighbor,

Connie
