Today, I attended the Swingin’ Medallion’s Concert and kick-off event for the Duluth Fall Festival. While there, I became one of the sponsors of the Festival as a way of supporting community working together. The Swingin’ Medallions gave an outstanding performance.
Elise and campaign volunteer Janice Polack attended the Freedom Rally at Killer Creek Harley Davidson in Roswell on Thursday. The event was a kick-off to the 9/12 Project and events occurring in Washington, DC.
At the rally, Elise extended an invitation to Karen Handel, candidate for Governor of Georgia, to join her for the Duluth Fall Festival during the last weekend of September.
On Wednesday, Elise was selected to serve as an alternate member of the “Engage Gwinnett” committee, where she will take part in a six-month series of meetings to review county government demographics, economic trends, infrastructure plans, and other budget-related information. At the conclusion of the process, the committee is expected to make recommendations about future service levels and revenue generation.
The first Engage Gwinnett committee meeting is scheduled for Thursday, October 8 at 8:00 am.
On Wednesday, Elise attended the City of Duluth Legislative Breakfast at City Hall with elected officials, key city staff members, State Representatives and Senators and candidates for city elections.
The meeting was very informative, covering budget overview and legislative concerns as well as highlighting Duluth citizens’ involvement in the public process through the Citizens Budget Committee, Mayor’s Advisory Council, the Citizens Police Academy and Buford Highway Corridor Study Committee, among many others.
Said Elise, “The city of Duluth truly lives up to it status as a City of Excellence and Ethics.”
