Last Week, 8/30
Sunday. I attended the Boy Scout Cavalcade at Roswell City Hall, which was rained out, and the Drake House Ice Cream Social at the Town Square, which was almost rained out. Congressman Tom Price, Commissioner Lynn Riley, and I judged ice cream with fruit, and I had way too much to eat.
Monday. I qualified to run for re-election, and two new interns joined our team, Mike Kim and Brandon Adams. That evening we went to the North Fulton Republican Victory Dinner, where Congressman Price and all the Republican gubernatorial candidates, Karen Handel, John Oxendine, Eric Johnson, and Mike Scott gave them political advice.
Tuesday. I opened the Transportation Master Plan meeting and introduced Congressman Price to an audience of 1,500 at his Town Hall Meeting.
Wednesday. We had a volunteer cookout in the yard at my law office on Canton Street. I don’t know how many people came, but they ate all of the 190 hamburgers and hot dogs grilled by Jimmy of Rhea’s Takeout.
Thursday. I called a special meeting to answer Council’s questions about my sponsoring the North Fulton & Friends Tea Party on 9/12. Two council members, including one of my opponents, did not attend.
Friday. The last day for qualifying. Every race is contested. I expect Jim Pollak will give Councilman Iglehart a real race. I tossed the coin for the Centennial v. Roswell High School football game, and divided my time equally on each side of the field, rooting for my home teams. I joined Principal Spurka and Principal Bartley for barbecue from Slope’s before the game.
Saturday. I joined two or three thousand people to see the Return of the Beatles concert at Riverside Park.
Sunday. I enjoyed the end-of-summer celebration and fireworks at Centennial High School.
