Cherryl Greenman has been promoted to Editor of The TowneLaker and Sixes Living Magazine. Cherryl previously held the position of Assistant Editor for these two publications, and Editor/Ad Manager for the Around Town Community Magazine, Inc.'s real estate magazine, viewtownelakehomes.com.

Cherryl has been involved in publishing for several years and says, "I have always dealt with industry-oriented magazines, and have really enjoyed the change to community magazines. You are more connected to your readers and the community in which you live." Cherryl moved to Georgia from Colorado in 1993 with her two children, Dale 22 and Lori 16. "We call Georgia home now and are glad we made the move."

The TowneLaker and Sixes Living Magazine also announces the addition of Kara Kiefer as the new Assistant Editor, replacing Cherryl Greenman in that role. Former Editor, Susan Kyle, will be taking a temporary leave of absence as she awaits a new addition to her family and will remain on board as Managing Editor. Kara comes to The TowneLaker and Sixes Living Magazine with a background in retail management. She was editor of her community newsletter for four years and has a degree in Communications. "I have lived in the Towne Lake area for eight years, and I have always wanted to be a part of the magazines," said Kiefer. "I'm looking forward to positively contributing to The TowneLaker and Sixes Living Magazine." Kara lives in Towne Lake with her husband Mike and her two children, Brandon age 10, Garrett age 7 and their dog, Tucker.

Animal Shelter Benefits

Girl Scout Brownie Troop 21290 ended their year with a community service project for the Cherokee County Animal Shelter. The troop decided to spend approximately 40 percent of the money that they earned selling cookies to buy food for the Shelter. The troop went to PetsMart in Woodstock where they toured the store and picked out dog and cat food. They also collected towels and sheets from family, friends and neighbors to donate. The troop then visited the Shelter to deliver the items to the staff. The girls and leaders were pleasantly surprised at how well kept and clean the animals and kennels were. "It is obvious that the staff strives to maintain a high level of cleanliness. In these crowded and cramped conditions, that is no small task," observed Troop Leader Mary Kay Newman. "We felt that it was not only important for the girls to donate items but to see the animals and conditions as well. We discussed with them why the animals are at the Shelter and how important it is to be a responsible pet owner. It was a tremendous learning experience for the troop." The troop plans on helping the Shelter with more service projects in the future. The Shelter is open for adoptions Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m. — 5 p.m. For more information, call (770) 345-7270.
