GA Reverse Mortgage in Georgia

(Lawrenceville, Ga., November 22, 2008) - Gwinnett County Parks & Recreation will hold a Ribbon Cutting Ceremony on December 2 at 11 a.m. for the 40th addition to Gwinnett County's national award-winning park system, Club Drive Park. The public is invited to attend the ceremony and afterwards the park will officially open.

The first phase includes a 4.75-acre lake plus seven additional acres that feature a boardwalk/fishing pier structure, two gazebos, a 13,000 sq. ft. playground, pavilions, a restroom building, 0.33-mile paved multi-purpose trail and two half-court basketball courts.

"The residents in the Club Dr. area were really involved in the planning for this park and are really looking forward to having a special purpose neighborhood park, " said Park Operations Director Sharon Plunkett. "It's a great place to come and unwind with a walk in the park or bring the kids to play on the large playground or basketball courts."

Designed by Lose & Associates, Inc. and constructed by Astra Group, Inc., the $2.6 million Club Drive Park was funded by the 2005 Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax (SPLOST).

Happy Birthday Mom!

Special Treasure

God gave a gift to the world when you were born- a person who loves, who cares, who sees a person's need and fills it, who encourages and lifts people up, who spends energy on others rather than herself, someone who touches each life she enters, and makes a difference in the world, because ripples of kindness flow outward as each person you have touched, touches others.

Your birthday deserves to be a national holiday, because you are a special treasure for all that you've done. May the love you have shown to others return to you, multiplied.

I wish you the happiest of birthdays, and many, many more, so that others have time to appreciate you as much as I do.
