Happy Friday everyone!
I have LOVED seeing all of the Valentine memories. I'll be sending out codes to the 50 winners sometime today. Take some time to read through the responses. We've got some really sweet stories out there!
Please take the 60 Second Aha! Survey if you haven't done so yet. I'm using lots of the advice already. The survey will close at midnight tonight so you have until then to complete it!
I see more surveys in our future now that I've discovered the survey feature of Constant Contact. I'm thinking we may do some fun an quirky one question surveys and some quick surveys about community issues to see what the Aha! Subscribers think....maybe we'll have a "Question of the Week"?! Stay tuned!
Did you know we have special pages on the website dedicated to CAMPS and SCHOOLS. Check them out from time to time to learn important information about schools and to find out about new and exciting camp offerings!
I'm going to start combining the Friday GarAHA!ge sale email and the Friday Community News email today. Survey feedback indicates you'd like me to try to stick to ONE email per day and this will help me reach that goal!
Have an excellent weekend!

This week we have had several reports of thefts within neighborhoods. Redfield subdivision has had several garages entered. In those cases, suspects entered enclosed garages through unlocked doors and removed property and entered vehicles. It is very important to lock and secure all doors. By entering closed garages suspects have concealment from police and neighbors that are looking for criminal behavior.
In addition, several apartment complexes in the Sandy Springs/ Dunwoody corridor had Read More »
