Liz Hausmann – Fulton County Commissioner The Triple Crown Subdivision has agreed
to host this event. It is tentatively scheduled for April 26; however, we still need
confirmation from Ms. Hausmann’s office. Sharon Lockwood and Maureen Campbell
have agreed to coordinate drinks and desserts for this function.

possibility with his superiors and will let us know.
Finance for your Teenager Peyton Jamison is communicating with the Community
Development folks at Wells Fargo with regard to this program.
Other Possibilities
Open Discussion
Ansley Braswell discussed Linked 4 Life. They are very appreciative of Better
Together’s support as they have plans to broaden this group’s activities to the wider
Milton community beyond Milton High School. Nancilee Wolfe is assisting this group as
they determine their next steps. Also, Ansley said that consideration is being given to
changing the name of the group.
Karen Stanley discussed the Milton Love Project and the possibility of completing the
wooden hearts. Karen will be following up with Patti Silva on a possible date for this
activity. Most likely, it will be a Sunday afternoon at “Just for Giggles.”
Milton resident Teri Harrison joined us for the first time and discussed her amazing “50
Good Deeds” story where she, during one week, completed 50 good deeds
commemorating her 50th birthday.
