Norcross Email Extravaganza Vol. 309
A weekly email for the young & forever young in Historic Norcross
DID YOU KNOW...?
Did you know that 1 in 8 military families with children use a food bank to make ends meet? Studio 87 Yoga is collecting non-perishable food items for the Decatur chapter of Soldiers' Angels. A box is sitting outside the studio to accept donations. If you feel led to help, please contribute before the end of the August.
MEET YOUR NEIGHBOR
Submit yourself / your family to be featured! Email a brief introduction and photo of you / your family to youngnorcross@gmail.com. Then show your “Meet Your Neighbor” feature to the team at Social Fox Brewing for a free round (this is the only feature that earns a free round)!
DOG OF THE WEEK
Meet Clo Clo, a sweet and lovable lowrider looking for her forever home. She's great on a leash, loves affection, and enjoys cuddling. Clo Clo gets along with other dogs but has an independent play style. She’s comfortable as an only dog or a new addition to the pack. She longs for a loving home where she can relax and be comfortable. Could it be yours?
