A little earlier than expected but along with the cover reveal, I can let it slip that “No Water, No Life” is my contribution to the summer issue. I was in total shock to learn it became the cover story and I’m so grateful to Jaye G. for the opportunities she’s given me. I’ll likely remain in shock for the duration of 2024.

CHEROKEE COUNTY, GA (June 26, 2024) – Local seniors received free health services at the inaugural Wellness-On-Wheels Health Fair event hosted in partnership with Cherokee County Senior Services and CareSource. This event was held on June 25 at the Senior Center in Canton and drew a crowd of roughly 100 seniors.
