Norcross Email Extravaganza Vol. 340
A weekly email for the young & forever young in Historic Norcross
DID YOU KNOW...?
We lost a cherished community member on Monday, March 24, with the passing of Randy Johnson. Randy was born and raised in Norcross. He and his wife, Tammy, own Woods Animal Hospital right next to Thrasher Park. Randy served local families with care and compassion for more than 40 years.
A memorial gathering to celebrate Randy’s life will be held on Saturday, March 29, at 1p in Thrasher Park. Guests are invited to wear their favorite collegiate apparel or red and black (BIG dawgs fan). Those who would like to share a story or memory of Randy are encouraged to do so. A fundraiser has also been set up to support Tammy during this difficult time.

COMMUNITY SPOTLIGHT
iCan Bike
iCan Bike is a transformative local program that empowers individuals with disabilities to independently ride a two-wheel bike. This skill unlocks opportunities for neighborhood rides, family outings, and enhanced mobility. Beyond cycling, the program builds confidence, fosters inclusion, and nurtures meaningful peer connections. This year's camp is scheduled for June 2-6 at Summerour Middle School. Camper spots are still available, and we also seek dedicated volunteers and sponsors to help make this experience possible!
