Volunteers Needed: Shared Pair Reading
The Gwinnett County Public Library system has created a program that pairs volunteers with young readers who are looking to improve their reading skills. Living in such a diverse community as Norcross, we have many young learners whose parents do not speak English and for whom this 30-minute increment of time provides precious help in advancing their reading skills. If you’d like to learn more learn more or volunteer, reach out to Samantha Toro at the Norcross Library at storo@gwinnettpl.org.

Remembering Scott Norwood
The Social Fox family is mourning the unexpected passing of one of their owners and co-founders, Scott Norwood. Scott was instrumental in finding their current location in Norcross and was greatly loved in the craft beer community. Please keep his wife Tammy in your prayers.
There will be a celebration of life on Saturday, May 28th from 11a-1p at Wages & Sons funeral home in Lawrenceville. Social Fox will be closed to the public that day to honor his memory.
Tammy has asked in lieu of flowers that donations be made to the Atlanta Warrior Veterans Hockey team, which Scott was greatly involved in. His love for hockey rivaled his love for beer and he had high hopes for this new endeavor. Donations can be made here. Cards can also be dropped off at the brewery and will be delivered to Tammy.
