| Mayor Wood biking the Youth Day Parade |
Rain cancelled out the walk with kids to Sweet Apple and our Twilight Cruise but held off for the annual Youth Day Parade. I was in the parade twice, first on horseback and then on bicycle. Afterwards, I helped serve at the 59th Annual Masonic Barbecue; it keeps getting better all the time.
On Sunday, 200 people showed up for the East Roswell Forum at Centennial High. To see a draft of my opening remarks, go to my blog at http://www.mayorwood.com.
Please forward this to your friends and neighbors.
Its All Good!
