Norcross Email Extravaganza Vol. 217
Did you know...?
It's time to party! Head over to Social Fox Brewing tonight, November 18, at 6p to grab a Young Norcross Card! The free card can be used around town at participating businesses for exclusive perks and discounts. This is a limited release, so once the cards are gone, they won't be available again until the next release party (January 2023). In honor of the occasion, Social Fox lined up Big Pat's BBQ, Brainy Bakers, and live music. They're also doing fun giveaways and 20% off for Young Norcross during the event!
And, we have a logo! We worked with Andrew Averso, Executive Creative Director at Wild Places, to capture the fresh and fun identity of Young Norcross. He also designed the Young Norcross Cards we're releasing at Social Fox tonight! We are so grateful (and feel so cool) that Andrew spent time with us on this project! Andrew's work (creative direction, art direction, design, and photography) has appeared in Vogue, WWD, W. Magazine, Refinery29, and Bloomingdale's.
Learn more about their bold and adventurous approach to brand identity: Wild Places.

Norcross PDC is a weekly morning meetup at 45 South Cafe in downtown Norcross. What began as a grassroots effort to improve the City has now become a go-to for insight into what is happening around Norcross and beyond. The group meets every Wednesday at 8:15a to hear speakers cover topics that range from local government, non-profit, and small businesses, to local politics and City leaders. Email pdcnorcross@gmail.com to learn who the speaker is this week!
