Marketing Professional Needed | 1st Annual Christmas Train Extravaganza
This December, Peachtree Campus and Brenau University will showcase the largest Lionel Christmas Train set up in Georgia. The train display, planned for December 8-11, will be a 30x15 kid-friendly, walk-around set. The set will have a 'road' and children can rent a toy car to 'drive' around the set or purchase the car. All funds raised will go toward the Neighborhood Co-Op Medical Mission. They hope this will become a Christmas Tradition for Norcross!
*If you are a marketing pro interested in helping promote the event, contact Donna Galucki at 404-668-5107 or Donna@ourncm.org to learn more.*

Meet Your Neighbors
Meet Susie and David Duke! They are '"young at heart" and moved to Norcross 31 years ago. The Dukes are the second owners of their 1890s home on North Peachtree Street, which they bought from the local Episcopal church when they were 29 years old. The previous owner left her estate to the church and they were the only ones to bid on the home. Another fun fact about their house - Jerry and Marge Go Large was filmed there last summer! It was (understandably) a pop of excitement for the Dukes and surrounding neighbors. They raised three children here (Edward, Emma, and Addie) and have enjoyed watching Norcross evolve over the years (always improving!). Their favorite things about living here include walking around town with their dog, Russell, enjoying the beautiful parks, being close to the restaurants and breweries, and friendly folks all around. Their most recent favorite is the bacon, egg, and cheese biscuit at The Local Peach!
