Suwanee-based Charity Needs Your Help!

The post election riots between the tribes in Kenya has left many of our friends and their families without homes and clothing as the violence turned to arson and savage rioters destroyed everything in their path.

Suwanee-based Kenya Medical Outreach, Inc. is calling for emergency help and funding to ship containers of clothing and food to Kenya.

Please contact Sheila Williams at (678) 858-3383 to see how you can help.

Couldn't ask for better weather

Suwanee had Jack Frost nipping at her nose over the weekend as snow steadily fell all day long on Saturday. I was in the garage apartment doing electrical work and even there where it was 28 degrees inside I had to stop and look out the window at the beauty of the falling snow on the bare pines.

Ace Hardware sold out of sleds on Friday night and were getting low on trash can lids by noon on Saturday. We all love the snow when it comes to town and rush to take full advantage as we know it will be gone tomorrow.

Perhaps old Jack Frost has more in store for us this winter. I hope so, because next time my wife, Tiffany, and I will be ready by the fire with my hot chocolate and our two dogs.

Suwanee's Hometown Plumber

Money Magazine recently listed Suwanee as one of the top ten places in the nation to live, and Aaron Plumbing knows why! We love working and living in Suwanee, and our Suwanee customers, our neighbors, are always our favorite!

EpiCenter of Gwinnett

Suwanee is like a donut....a Boston cream-filled donut! The first taste you get is that sweet chocolate outter layer. Suwanee looks good from the outside, to those just passing through, seeing the Town Center Park, the green spaces, the new businesses growing up all along Hwy 317, 23, PIB, and Sat.Blvd. Suwanee does dress up for the party well!

Then there are the neighborhoods of Suwanee, the classic homes of old town and the classy new homes off Johnson and Moore Roads...these homes are the bread of Suwanee, which from raw materials became substance and formed the structures that created its form, the houses, the subdivisions, the neighborhoods we love to call home, call our beloved Suwanee.

But, the real sweetness of Suwanee is what's inside those donuts, those homes... the people. Like a rich filling, the people of Suwanee are what makes us smile so much. We call Suwanee home because the warmth of our friends keeps us company on cold nights. We call Suwanee home because of the prayers of the Saints which are with us and for us in our troubled times. We call Suwanee home because we can rejoice together over the victories by North Gwinnett football or the Gwinnett Gladiators or the Georgia Bulldogs. We walk the fairways together, pedal along the bike paths and hike the Richard Trice trail with our dogs. We are family, we are a favored people in God's land. We are Suwaneeans. Its enough to make you smile.

Suwanee's Giving Spirit

Kenya Medical Outreach, Inc. has been collecting supplies and delivering aid to small villages in remote Kenya since 1999. The mission outfit is based right here in Suwanee, GA and takes volunteers of all walks of life to Kenya to deliver aid each year.

What sets this mission apart from most is that Kenya Medical Outreach serves small villages with little or no infrastructure and little outside contact at all. Some of the villages KMO has developed relationships with National Geographic can't even gain entry to.

The greatest need in the Kenyan villages today is a source of safe drinking water. To find out how you can help please contact Justin Williams at justinwilliams@suwaneedental.com

If you would like to be a part of an upcoming safari, meaning great journey in Swahili, please contact KMO for more information.

Suwanee may boast hometown claim to NASCAR's next superstar

NASCAR driver Tyler Williams has been dazzling fans at every speedway he touches. Smooth driving and clean racing is what has made Tyler well liked on and off the track.

When Tyler isn't hurdling around the track you can catch him studying race film or researching his competition. This driver has determination and the skill to take the dream all the way to the Sprint Cup.

Tyler has recently been seen in Charlotte, NC testing with an unnamed NASCAR program. Rumor has it Tyler strapped into the car and was only tenths of a second off the pace of the NASCAR veteran he was testing with.

Suwanee, lets get behind Tyler and cheer him all the way to victory lane in the Sprint Cup!!
