"We along with Cobb citizens marched around the Square showing our solidarity for victims of domestic violence. We shared sobering statistics and had a solemn moment of silence in honor of those who have died at the hand of their abusers as well as those who still suffer in silence. We will continue to advocate and protect victims to the best of our abilities."

Hello Stream Cleaners!
I wanted to be sure to say a huge THANK YOU to each of you for spending your Saturday morning with us helping to clean up Sewell Mill Creek at East Cobb Park. Together we cleaned almost a mile stretch and pulled out over 500 pounds of solid waste from the stream and its banks! Each of you played a vital role and a special thank you to those of you who helped load the bags and other debris and took it all to the dumpster in the park. That was indeed a messy job! I also want to give a shout out and special thank you to Makia Metzger, our Cobb County Solicitor General, for coming to help and bringing a whole team of her staff as well!
