Subject: [oconee] Sunday series featuring stories from childhood

 

Hello!

I wanted to be sure you all knew about a series starting this Sunday
that should be fun and inspiring.

On Sunday, July 14th, Flagpole editor Pete McCommons will interview
former Athens mayor Doc Eldridge at 3 PM for the kick-off event for the
7-week series called "Stories From Childhood: From a Tiny Acorn."

Doc will discuss his childhood with Pete at the historic Meeting Hall at
Piedmont College on Prince Avenue in Athens. The suggested donation of
$10 benefits the local non-profit Children First, which looks out for
kids in foster care. Refreshments after the event each week include a
favorite snack from the featured guest's childhood.

Please keep reading to see the pairing for each week of the series, all
held at Piedmont College.

(The third guest, businessman and civic leader Claude Williams -- a
delightful man! -- lives in Oconee County.)

Please join us some Sunday!

Pat

Any one who has listened to 960 the Ref AM sports talk radio or heard the UGA Lady Dawgs or men's baseball team has surely heard the encyclopedic knowledge of one Jeff Dantzler. Jeff and I are pretty much diametrically opposed poltically, but today he was arrested on four counts including DUI. I hope he gets the help he needs following his incarceration. I work for a lawyer who could help him out if he does not having someone already representing him. This man is a great broadcaster and I hope this arrest serves as a wake-up call for him and his rock and roll lifestyle. I live a far from perfect life myself but long ago and far away I learned how and when not to drink. Now we will be without he dulcet tones on Lady Bulldog broadcasts as well as on Georgia baseball games and also on the after
