Just now ·
If you were watching the city channel today at 10:30, (I know, who does?) you would have seen the NEIGHBORHOODS MATTER & PARTNER AWARDS CEREMONY - UPLIFTING COMMUNITY CHAMPIONS. Yours truly was awarded a Neighborhood Maters award for my intrepid community service. Thanks to all that helped over the years to always reach beyond our grasp to create a better community.

Atlanta attracts families from all around the country. Our neighbors, our weather invite people to settle here. But every now and again you run into someone who can say they were "born and raised in Atlanta." Our Candler Park neighbor Mark Clement can say that.

But his community roots go even deeper. He was born in the home on Benning Place where he lives today with his family. His neighborhood resume' is long, but there are a few notable contributions that set into motion the current Candler Park Neighborhood Organization.

Over the years Mark Clement has held board positions. He was an original organizer of Candler Park's Fall Fest, our annual fundraising event that makes donations to our community possible. He founded Friends of Candler Park to advocate on behalf of the park and the neighbors who use it.

When Mark told us recently that he may have to give up his key role in the city-wide popular movie night called Flick-Nic. CPNO realized how much we just took for granted that Mark would always be there to lend a hand. So, while he pauses to take care of himself, it's time we give to him.

So for these reasons and more, the Candler Park Neighborhood Organization would like to recommend Mark Clement for the 2018 Neighborhoods Matter Award. Recognition of his contributions are long overdue.

Sincerely,
Dana Fowle
CPNO President

Unfortunately, we will have to reschedule our Movie Night tonight. Even if the storms blow over (and I think they will) the ground will still be wet. We will be rescheduling soon. Our next Movie night is September 8th, Coco.

Flick Nic Movie Night in Candler Park is still on! For now, anyhow. If we wind up having to make the call to cancel, we will do so at 4 PM. Sorry to not be more definitive. The weather is hard to predict.
Thanks, Mark
