Cut Out the Junk - Mail, That Is

Cut Out the Junk - Mail, That Is

Who would like to get less junk mail in your mailbox? Me, me!! Here are a few ways you can reduce the number of unsolicited credit card offers, catalogs, yellow pages and random of other flotsam that arrives in your mail box daily.

But first a little reminder, that if you have donated to a group or purchased a product from a company, legally they can still send you mail until you specifically tell them not to.  The following options will help with the unsolicited selling and sharing of your name.

Another quick tip is to setup junk email account (think Gmail, Hotmail or Yahoo) for doing requests like this just in case your email falls into the hands of a spammer.

Community Closet to Help Families in Need

Community Closet to Help Families in Need

Twiggs County will soon have a new resource for families who face adversity.

The Community Closet, expected to officially open in June, will assist families who experience something like a house fire, coordinator Tamiko Horne says.

Currently, the Community Closet needs donations for men, women and children, but especially donations of men's clothing in large sizes. Another need is undergarments for men, women and children.

Families or individuals can access the closet through agencies like DFACS and the Board of Education.

Family Connections organizes the closet and can be reached at 478-233-7468 or twiggsfc@gmail.com for more information or to give donations.

The Community Closet is located at the Twiggs County Board of Education in the Family Connections office.

BleuBelle Boutique and Savannah Fashion Week

I first met Heather Kaney Burge when I was a student at Georgia Southern looking to transfer to UGA: I was doing a tour of Athens and the campus with my mother when we decided to do some shopping downtown. As fate would have it, I stepped in to Encore Boutique and met Heather- she was an ADPi like myself and we got to talking. She told me of her plans to open her own boutique either in Statesboro or Savannah. Well, fate stepped in again and she choose Savannah...
