We mentioned in a previous post that the Friends for the East Cobb Park volunteer group that presents special events at the park was working on a new entertainment feature, showing family-friendly movies a few times a year.
What’s being called “Movies in the Park” debuts next Friday, April 14, with the showing of Tom Hanks’ rendering of Fred Rogers in “It’s A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood.”
The film starts at 8 p.m. and like the Music in the Park concerts is free to the public. You can bring food, chairs and blankets.
The presenting sponsor is the Rotary Club of East Cobb, which is adding to an expansive list of community activities.
The Rotary Club holds a Dog Day Run in August that raises more than $100,000 for local charities, and is involved in the Wheeler High School AVID program.
More recently, the Rotary Club agreed to become a charter sponsor of a Boy Scout troop at Mt. Bethel Church, which dropped that status due to insurance issues.
The Rotary Club also sponsors a first responders lunch and organized a forum in 2022 for the East Cobb Cityhood referendum.
Another Movies in the Park event is tentatively slated for the fall.
