Norcross Email Extravaganza Vol. 293
A weekly email for the young & forever young in Historic Norcross
DID YOU KNOW...?
We recently lost an important member of the community, Foster O’Keefe. Rich and Terrie O’Keefe would like to thank the Historic Norcross community for its support of him for more than a decade.
“He left us last week after 15 years; 11 of them sniffing every inch of historic downtown. We miss him terribly, but are very proud to have had him. Our wonderful neighbors, North Peachtree walkers, downtown walkers, and downtown businesses were always wonderful and tolerant, especially the last few slow years. Thanks again everyone - and support your local shelters and rescues!”

COMMUNITY SPOTLIGHT
Opening week at Lionheart: Breaking Legs
Don't miss out on the comedic play "Breaking Legs" by Tom Dulack. It hits the stage at Lionheart today, Friday, May 3 and runs through May 19! Get ready for a sidesplitting tale of a family-run Italian restaurant, the Mafia, and the quest to produce a play. Secure your seats online. Plus, enjoy your choice of cake or pie during intermission at Lionheart's dessert theatre.
Mural Volunteers Needed
Join the Johnson Dean Historic Wellhouse CommUNITY Mural Project! Help create a stunning mural depicting backyard birds and local wildlife on the historic wellhouse. This project is a collaboration to celebrate Norcross’s natural beauty and support the Audubon society's designation of the park as a wildlife sanctuary.

School is winding up. It’s time to have some field day fun! Join us for a ladies night out on the lawn, Tuesday, May 21, 6:30p.
