Norcross Email Extravaganza Vol. 289
A weekly email for the young & forever young in Historic Norcross
DID YOU KNOW...?
A partial solar eclipse will occur on Monday, April 8, with Middle Georgia residents witnessing around 76% coverage starting at 1:46p and peaking at 3:04 PM. Atlanta residents will see approximately 84.7% of the sun obscured by the moon, beginning at 1:45p and reaching its maximum at 3:04p. Although it won't be a total eclipse, it's still a rare sight worth observing. Remember to grab your eclipse glasses to watch it!
MEET YOUR NEIGHBOR
Meet the Kenvin family! Christian and Emma just moved to Historic Norcross from Brookhaven with their beloved dog, Skye. They recently got married in Charleston, SC, their favorite place to visit!
Christian grew up in Roswell. He went to college at GT and now works in Private Equity. Emma grew up in Suwanee. Her college career began in Chicago, but returned to Atlanta where she attended GSU. She now works in Project Management and Development.
The Kenvins are thrilled to be here and have already fallen in love with Norcross for its strong sense of community, and the fact that there is always something happening every day. You will likely see them out walking, downtown for dinner or coffee, or posted up at one of the local breweries. Please say Hi if you see them — they are eager to meet new people and get involved!
Submit yourself / your family to be featured! Email a brief intro and photo to youngnorcross@gmail.com. Then show your feature to the team at Social Fox Brewing for a free round!
