Posted By Lane Bailey on June 18th, 2009
After T-ball the other morning, we headed up to the Recycling Bank of Gwinnett to see what was going on with the Grand Opening. They had tours and displays and fun stuff for the kids.
How much earnest money is enough?

Suwanee’s latest innovative project, a community garden, was presented to a group of interested citizens last night at the first of several community meetings to gain citizen input and involvement. About 30-40 people attended the meeting in the city council chambers of city hall to hear from the project’s contracted design and construction management coordinators, Team Argo-Engineers (includes Farmer D and Southeastern Engineering, Inc.).

“It’s On” Gwinnett County – Southwest Airlines
Posted By Matt Hermes on June 10th, 2009
Over the past week or so you may have seen Southwest Airlines new commercials with the theme “It’s On”. If you have not I have posted a link to one of the commercials picked up from You Tube.

This is such a creative ad campaign and one that truly hit home for me. Yes it is “On” now is the time for each of us to drag ourselves up from our bootstraps and get out there and go. The economy is turning and will only move forward if each of us has the atttude that “It’s On”
I laid awake last night for over an hour thinking about that commercial because I was so pumped. I never thought a commercial could get me so fired up to get moving and change the direction we all have been dealing with. We all have been through some pretty rough times over the past couple of years. I do not know of anyone who has not had to deal with some type of hardship recently and now is the time to get moving forward.
So what are you doing to get “It On”?
We all need to change our own attitudes and patterns of the past couple of years and get this country moving in the right direction. No matter what your political or social views are, the fact remains that each of us will contribute to the rise of this country and we need to get “IT ON”.
