To all of our Celebrate America Runners:

We regret to inform you that the Chattahoochee Woman’s Club, formerly the Alpharetta Junior Woman’s Club, will not be sponsoring the Celebrate America 5K/10K in 2013. Due to rising costs of putting on a race, it was no longer a profitable venture. We would like to thank the thousands of runners, sponsors and volunteers over the years who have helped make the race successful.  As many of you know, the race began in 1996 and all of the proceeds have gone to charities in the local community.  You have enabled our organization to improve the lives of many, many people. Thank you for your continued support.

Putting together our scaredog for the Alpharetta Scarecrow Harvest Festival – our salute to service dogs is now installed on the corner of Milton Ave. and Canton St.

All the ice cream you can eat and it was all homemade drew thousands of people from all over the region to Historic Roswell Town Square for an ice cream social to benefit The Drake House on Sunday afternoon. It was time for the 8th annual Miss Mary's Ice Cream Crankin', and local businesses, civic organizations and churches were out in force with tubs of the frozen treats with many flavors.

The local organizations provided sponsorships for the privilege of making homemade ice cream and giving out scoops in the afternoon, while families paid $20 each and individuals $5 to get to enjoy all the ice cream, music and a Kids' Korner complete with the requisite inflatable bounce house and face painting.                              

At the Chattahoochee Woman’s Club first meeting of the new year, our focus was on children going back to school.  Our hands-on project was to fill 10 backpacks with school supplies – paper, pens, pencils, scissors, index cards, etc.  The backpacks were donated to the North Fulton Community Charities Back-to-School Health and Wellness Fair of 2012.  If anyone has supplies they want to donate, please check out their web site here:

Angelina Ballerina Project

Here’s a photo of our Angelina Ballerina scarecrow that we created at our September meeting for the City of Alpharetta's Scarecrow Harvest. She was given a wonderful location right on Highway 9 across from City Hall at the Wells Fargo bank.
