Debate in Athens - Thursday, October 9 candidate forum

Another well timed public forum event well worth your attendance with Sherry Jackson and Bill Cowsert in Athens Thursday. I really look forward to hearing the Ed Robinson - Red Petrovs exchange as well. Please attend if you can. 

Woven brightly,
Daniel J. Matthews, Jr.
