Norcross Email Extravaganza Vol. 314
A weekly email for the young & forever young in Historic Norcross
DID YOU KNOW...?
With the hurricane upon us, it’s important to stay in the loop. The City of Norcross uses CivicReady, a helpful notification system that keeps you updated through email, text, or phone call (based on your preferences and location).
CivicReady sends updates on emergency alerts, like local threats or public health notices, and general info, such as city closures, tax reminders, or noise alerts. You’ll receive notifications from Norcross Power on outages and from Norcross Sanitation about route delays. And you’ll get the latest on board and council meetings, elections, event changes, and traffic updates for road closures or delays.
Stay safe!
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 Trout, a 2-year-old dog with great house manners who is house trained and loves attention. He previously lived in a home but was sadly abandoned at the shelter. Now, he’s waiting for a new family to call his own. Trout is dog-friendly, loves playing fetch, and enjoys running around the yard. Could he be your perfect new companion?
