Press release:

Recently, Cobb Animal Services announced an exciting partnership with the Homeless Pet Clubs of America and the Cobb County Police Department. The partnership will help further awareness for dogs and cats who are homeless, but also teaches children empathy which leads to a reduction of bullying in schools.

Together, they are aiming to implement the clubs in all Cobb County schools and centers such as Cobb Senior Services and local libraries. To kick off the partnership, a pet adoption and fundraising launch party took place on Thursday, September 20th at Red Sky Tapas & Bar at 1255 Johnson Ferry Road in Marietta. Cobb County Commissioners, County Manager, Rob Hosack, and local citizens came together to enjoy live music and support this benefit.

Local businesses such as the Janice Overbeck Real Estate Team, Chick-fil-A East Lake, Glory Haus, Aroma Ridge Coffee, and 180 Your Life generously contributed items for a silent auction and Red Sky donated a percentage of sales.

The evening raised a total of $1,680 for Animal Society of Cobb, Inc. which is the 501(c)(3) arm for Cobb County Animal Services. For more information on how you can help homeless pets, visit www.homelesspetclubs.org.

EAST COBB WEEKEND: Pianos in the park; Campmeeting closes; mushroom gardens and more

by

The second-from-last weekend before the start of school has several events geared for kids in end-of-summer mode, but there are quite a few slated for youth and adults alike.

The East Cobb News Events Calendar has all the details of every weekend event we’ve got listed (and send yours along if you don’t see it to: calendar@eastcobbnews.com). Here are a few of the highlights:Sunny, East Cobb Park ARTSCAPE!, Play Me Again Pianos

  • At 10 a.m. Saturday, there will be a ribbon-cutting ceremony for “Sunny,” a piano kids at East Cobb Park’s ARTSCAPE! camp have been painting this summer. It’s the latest Play Me Again Piano delivery in metro Atlanta, and “Sunny” will be a permanent fixture at the park’s upper pavilion;
  • Want to learn about mushrooms—how to grow and cook them? The East Cobb Library is holding a mini-fungi fest at 11:30 a.m. Saturday with a “Build A Mushroom Garden” seminar, and reservations are strongly suggested;
  • Another library event, this one starting at 2 p.m. Saturday at the Mountain View Regional branch: A screening of the “We Are Marshall” film, about a college football team that perished in a 1970 airline tragedy, and how those on the freshman team played on in their honor;
  • For grown-ups, the weekend ivory-tinkling continues at Red Sky Tapas Bar, with the 88 Licks Dueling Piano performances Friday and Saturday from 9 p.m. to midnight;
  • The 180th Marietta Campmeeting concludes Sunday with an 11 a.m. service, and twice-daily services are scheduled for Thursday, Friday and Saturday at 11 a.m. and 7:30 p.m. The guest sermon for the finale will be delivered by Dr. Charles Sineath, a retired pastor formerly at East Cobb’s Mt. Zion United Methodist Church who’s been designated as this year’s Campmeeting Pastor.

Again, let us know if you have calendar items to share, for this weekend and beyond. We’re working to have the best calendar listings in East Cobb, so have a look around and let us know what you think!

Have a great weekend, and stay in touch!
