*************************
Welcome to my first edition as Editor of the Johns Creek Community Association's News Nuggets. As a relatively new addition to the neighborhood, I am looking forward to learning much about the workings of Johns Creek and activities in the Community. I hope to include many articles in future editions that will inform you, make you aware of issues concerning our City and, hopefully, introduce you to some fun events. Communications are vital to the success of us all. We would like for you to depend on this Newsletter for information. Maybe you have "liked" us on Facebook? Have you found us on LinkedIn yet? Do you look for our education sessions on our webpage? Did you participate in our recent survey on billboards? We are trying a variety of different ways to get the word out in Johns Creek about all this City has to offer. I look forward to the opportunity to help our community thrive. I also look forward to meeting you at a community event soon.
