Some more details on next Tuesday’s East Cobb Business Association forum on the subject of East Cobb cityhood that we first noted a couple weeks ago:
The ECBA says that to ensure you get a seat, you must make a reservation online, ideally by Sunday, when the cost goes up.
The forum featuring representatives from the Committee for Cityhood in East Cobb and the anti-cityhood East Cobb Alliance is part of the ECBA’s monthly luncheon event, from 11-1 on Nov. 12 at the Olde Towne Athletic Club (4950 Olde Towne Parkway).
Seating will be limited to the first 250 people (most ECBA luncheons are around 100) who register and pay online. You can pay at the door, but the cost does go up and there’s no guarantee you’ll be able to get in.
Jen Starks of the ECBA said 78 people have registered thus far.
This is the only time pro- and anti-cityhood groups have appeared together in a forum-style event; the cityhood group is having a town hall meeting on Nov. 11 at Wheeler High School.
The advance registration cost (click here to sign up) is $20 for ECBA members and $25 for guests. After midnight Sunday and up to the door, the respective costs are $25 and $30.
The same event will honor the ECBA’s 2019 business person of the year, which was started last year. The finalists are:
- Cindy Trow, health coach, Wellness Now
- Tom Gonter, development officer, MUST Ministries
- Butch Carter, owner, Honest-1 Auto Care East Cobb
- Ann Lafferty, owner, Rakers Junk Removal
