EAST COBB THIS WEEK: Candidates forum; Canton Road open house; library events and more

It’s back to school (but only for a few more weeks!) and work, but not after a glorious weekend with spring-like weather that will continue as April turns into May in East Cobb this week:

Advance voting begins Monday in Cobb, with the East Cobb Government Service Center holding advance voting the week of May 14-18. As we posted over the weekend, Cobb Elections is looking for poll workers for the May 22 primaries. You’ll be paid for the days you work at the precincts, as well as required training;

This is the final week for the “In Her Father’s Eyes” exhibit at East Cobb Library, a tribute to a Holocaust victim by her surviving father. The panels are located just inside the entrance to the library branch, and can be viewed during regular opening hours;

From 5-7 p.m. on Tuesday, Cobb DOT is holding an open house for upcoming Canton Road transportation projects at Blackwell Elementary School. There’s no formal presentation, just ask-and-answer availability with staff;

District 3 Cobb Commission candidates have been invited to a forum at 7 p.m. Tuesday at the commissioners meeting room in downtown Marietta that’s being organized by the Cobb County Civic Coalition. Here’s more about the candidates with links to their websites;

Also on Tuesday, take your questions about local law enforcement from 6-8 p.m. to the Chick-fil-A Eastlake. It’s the latest Cobb Police Coffee with a Cop session, which is becoming a regular event in East Cobb and around the county;

Knitters, crocheters, quilters and others who enjoy needlework can bring their projects to the Mountain View Regional Library from 1-3 Thursday. I’d Rather Be Stitching is a weekly drop-in event for those who enjoy visiting with other crafters while they work. It’s free and no registration is required.

Check out the rest of our calendar listings, for this week and beyond, and send us calendar items you’d like to share with the public. E-mail us at: calendar@eastcobbnews.com.

The weather is going to be magificent all week, with sunshine and temperatures in the mid-70s to low-80s, and cloudy skies moving in Thursday through the weekend.
