Info

From the Publisher When Kristin Morrissey moved to Forsyth County, her first position serving as a volunteer was as a board member of her subdivision’s homeowners association. Today, as Kristin continues to serve the community as a volunteer, she also serves as the school board representative for District 2. It is such a pleasure to have Kristin on the cover with her wonderful family: her husband, Joe, and their daughters, Mackenzie and Sydney. Thank you, Kristin, for the incredible work that you have done and continue to do to make Forsyth County an even better place to live. The Fulton County Schools, the Will To Live Foundation, and the SOS Signs of Suicide program of Screening for Mental Health have joined together to bring a program into middle and high schools that will identify students who are at risk, and get them help. The program started with training counselors and psychologists. The next phase of training for all school employees is expected to be completed by the end of this month. Please read more about this incredibly important program. Gail Hisle, executive director of the Johns Creek Arts Center (JCAC), has the rare combination of excellent business skills and creative artistry. She used these skills to turn the JCAC into an incredibly valuable asset for our community. Thank you, Gail, for bringing so many valuable art opportunities to Johns Creek. North Fulton Community Charities provides families in North Fulton with food, financial assistance and other services, helping them with their immediate needs and to return to self-sufficiency. When I recently toured their facility, I was incredibly impressed with everything that they are doing for our community. Please read about what they do to help families, and think about what you can do to help. Be sure to read about the Stampede, Lambert High School’s marching band that is on their way to another successful season of performances and competitions. There are so many incredibly talented students in our community. Be sure to read about Chattahoochee junior Caitlyn Woodhead, who is an award-winning artist; Johns Creek High School senior Jake Erickson, who contributed to Shakerag Park with his Eagle Scout project; Remington Youngblood and Hunter Winkler’s interview with Senator Isakson, and Northview’s Kevin Colton, who orchestrated a moving tribute to the victims of 9/11. Looking for a place to go for the day that is both interesting and educational? You will be interested in reading about this issue’s Day Trippin’ suggestion: Funk Heritage Center. This issue’s History Made Easy has very interesting information about General James Longstreet and what he did after the Civil War. Fall is here, and before you plant new trees and shrubs, be sure to read the information about how and where to plant from Scott Allen of Robersion’s Landscaping. Enjoy the reading, enjoy the photos, and enjoy this issue of CountyLine! Respectfully, Judy Le Jeune Publisher 6 CountyLine | October 2012 | www.CountyLineMagazine.net
