Lilburn's Gloria Tow in High Spirits at Republican National Convention

The Republican National Convention begins, and a Lilburn resident and delegate is ready for all the week's activities.

TAMPA, FL — Gloria DiMaggio Tow couldn't wait to get inside the Tampa Bay Times Forum on Tuesday and check out the festivities surrounding the Republican National Convention. The Lilburn resident and Gwinnett County Republican Party member said she's been involved in politics since age 10 and is attending her 10th convention, but she's particularly fired up about this year's election. "It's the most important in my 65 years," Tow said. Tow and a handful of other Georgia delegates were hustling through downtown Tampa to get to the RNC venue for the start of Tuesday's events, cutting through parking lots and around chain-link fences set up for security. They had skipped the opening day Monday after the schedule was abbreviated due to the …

Ending Abuse: Linda Newton's Big Challenge

Linda Newton, a Lilburn resident and community activist, is taking on a new role to do more to end domestic violence.

Linda Newton doesn't know abuse like the women she's helping, and the women she wants to help. Maybe she's seen pictures, heard stories, met survivors. But, she doesn't have a personal story. Truthfully, though, it does not matter. Newton knows this: That it's awareness and a giving, open heart that makes all the difference for women dealing with domestic violence. "I'm very grateful that I have not experienced the kind of things these women are going through, but I've seen it, and you don't forget," she said, "especially since it isn't only the women, it's the children. And, it repeats from generation to generation. "So, our only hope to actually stop domestic violence is to help these women help their children get out of it, so they can …

TSPLOST- Get the Facts, Decide and Vote On July 31

On July 31 (or in early voting) we will make a big decision that will impact our pocket books for the next ten years when we vote YES or NO on TSPLOST – transportation local option sales tax referendum

The Lilburn Woman’s Club is sponsoring a debate on Monday, July 16 at 7pm, Lilburn City Hall.  The pro TSPLOST debater is Dave Williams, VP of Transportation, Atlanta Regional Commission, and the con debater is Colleen Kiernan, Director, Georgia Chapter, Sierra Club.  There will also be time for questions and comments from the audience.  Whether you are leaning YES or NO or have not decided, the debate will be a good opportunity to get some clarity on the issues involved. If you have watched the steady stream of ads supporting a YES vote on TSPLOST , you have seen the claims that it will unsnarl traffic.  The project list is at http://transformmetroatlanta.com/regional-projects/  where you can view the 157 projects for the metro Atlanta …

A July 4th Parade ... For the Kids!

Lilburn Woman's Club hosts an Independence Day bicycle parade!

UPDATED WITH NEW PHOTOS! Suzannah Heirnel had this great idea to bring a bit more sparkle to the park by having Lilburn's littlest citizenry involved - a bicycle parade! "It was something I remember from my childhood and something I wanted to bring to Lilburn," she said. Some of the participants had worked days on decorating the handlebars and spokes of their bikes. Lots of tinsel; lots of stars and stripes and lots of red, white and blue. And lots of patriotic spirit. Patch saw lots of moms and dads taking pictures at the Parade. We'd love for you to share yours here! More than 60 kids ages 5-12 came out for the parade to show off their patriotism and participate in a bike safety class. The parade was part of a "Be Safe Be Seen" Bike …
