From the

Towne Lake Business Association

Happy New Year to one and all from the Towne Lake Business Association (TLBA)! I hope that 2003 was kind to you and wish that 2004 will bring you peace, happiness and prosperity.

Well, what will your personal resolution be this time? Lose weight and get in shape? Be nicer? Spend more time with your family? The list could go on and on. My suggested resolution is to get comfortable with yourself, be happy about who you are and then make a positive impact on the people around you. See the positive and the good in others; it may just become your best resolution ever!

For business owners, it's much the same. Commit yourself to your business vision and spend more time listening to your customers, as well as your staff. Be positive and believe in your vision, yourself and your staff. You may just have the best year ever!

With that spirit in mind, I'd like to say that I am extremely proud to be associated with the TLBA. The members are a group of positive, giving, and caring people, who all are committed to becoming better businesses while giving back to the community we love and in which we live. I have met and become friends with many talented people, who in turn have helped me in my business.

I welcome and encourage business owners in our community to visit one of our upcoming Lunch 'N' Learn Workshops. Joe Gandolfo is working working hard to make our 2004 Lunch 'N' Learn Workshops the best ever. The topics for the these Workshops are driven by our members and geared to make our businesses more successful.

I want to thank everyone who attended our Holiday Gala at the Golden Cafe Chinese Restaurant last month. We all had a great time celebrating the holidays and enjoying the camaraderie.

As always, we thank you for supporting our local businesses - particularly during the Holiday Season - and thus, our Towne Lake area community, and for "Keeping Towne Lake Dollars in Cherokee."

Julian Gordon, M.D.

Restora Plastic Surgery Centre, led by Julian B. Gordon, MD, is the only full service plastic surgery center based in Cherokee County. Dr. Gordon provides the community with essential services previously unseen in the area before the practice opened its doors in August 2002.

Dr. Gordon received his undergraduate degree from Amherst College and his medical degree from New York Medical College. Dr. Gordon is fully trained in all aspects of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, with special focus on Aesthetic Surgery of the face and body and reconstructive breast surgery.

In addition to being a member of the Towne Lake Business Association, Dr. Gordon is involved in many community and professional organizations, including the Woodstock Rotary Club, the American Medical Association and the Medical Association of Georgia. He is also a candidate for membership in the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. He has hospital privileges at Northside Hospital - Cherokee in Canton and Mountainside Hospital is Jasper. This allows him to serve many patients throughout the County.

Restora also offers an impressive array of non-surgical cosmetic procedures. Stephanie Aratea, a native of Woodstock, is Restora's aesthetician. Stephanie's passion is the skin, and she truly enjoys helping patients look and feel their best. Facials, chemical peels, microdermabrasion, make-overs, permanent make-up and skin care education are just some of the services offered at Restora. Dr. Gordon is the only physician in the area to offer the exclusive Environ Skin Care line and DF/Sonophoresis skin treatments.

Dr. Gordon's wife, Ashley Gordon, MD, is currently a plastic surgery fellow at Emory University. She plans to join Restora when she completes her training. The husband and wife team are very happy they decided to open their practice in Towne Lake. "The community has really embraced and welcomed us," remarked Dr. Gordon.
