Employees of the Dawson County Tax Commissioner's Office hold awards
recently awarded to them for fundraising efforts in the 2018 Relay for Life
event.
Tax commissioner’s office receives
awards for Relay for Life fundraising
From staff reports
“It is amazing how
hard it is to get whipped
cream out of your hair,”
said Dawson County Tax
Commissioner Nicole
Stewart.
Stewart, whose office
was recently awarded
Best Activity for last
April’s Relay for Life
event, took part in the
pie-in-the-face contest
involving several local
elected officials.
Hours after getting pied
herself, Stewart said it
took three hair washings
to remove the dairy prod
uct completely.
“We should’ve used
non-dairy,” she said. She
laughed and admitted it
was well worth it.
The award was given
on Sept. 15 along with a
gold team award for the
group who reached that
status by raising over
$5,000 of support for
Relay for Life.
Fundraising efforts by
the office increased by
$1,000 over the previous
year.
The pie-in-the-face
activity brought in right
at $300 on its own by
offering up $1 plates of
whipped cream for citi
zens to go after the offi
cials.
“It was great,” Stewart
said. “Thank you to all
the elected officials who
helped and were great
sports. We had fun and
are looking forward to
next year.”
Stewart is hoping to
repeat in the 2019 event
by winning best activity
again but is tight-lipped
about plans. She said that
the group is currently
brainstorming ideas.
The annual team fund
raising event features
team members taking
turns walking around a
track for anywhere from
six to 24 hours. Each
team must have a mem
ber on the track through
out the duration to signify
that cancer never sleeps.
Teams come up with
themed booths at the
event and collect dona
tions for food, games,
goods and activities.
Money collected goes to
the team’s overall goal.
Next year’s event will
take place from 6 to 10
p.m. on April 26 at
Veterans Memorial Park.
In the meantime, cus
tomers of the tax com
missioner’s office are
able to contribute by pur
chasing small feet and
cupcakes to post on the
office walls. Donations of
any amount are welcome.
Community members can
also visit the Dawson
County Tax
Commissioner’s Office
relay website to donate.

Opening its doors in July 2004, with a Christening Presentation of,
“A Reach of Song”, presented through the joint efforts of The City of
Cumming and The Appalachian Educational and Historical Society,
Inc., the Cumming Playhouse has continued to gain momentum over
the course of the past 14 years. Complimented with one of the finest
restaurants in Forsyth, Tam’s Backstage Food & Spirits, located on the
lower level, provides unique dining experiences to go hand in hand
with exciting Main Stage Performances.
This restoration project of the 1923 Cumming School was funded
by Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax monies provided within
the Historic Preservation category along with donations from the
community to help furnish the beloved historic building. In 2000, the
school was placed on the National Register of Historic Places through
the efforts of The Historical Society of Forsyth County, under the
leadership of Mrs. Annette Bramblett. This National Register site is
truly the center of Cumming and Forsyth County’s history and heritage.
Local theatre companies are invited to perform via contract as well
as Concert Artists who wish to make Cumming one of their stops.
Watch for entertainment to include a vast array of Concerts, Broadway
Plays and Musicals toward the goal of providing a place of quality
entertainment for Cumming, Forsyth and surrounding communities.
Other features in the 1923 Historic Building include:
• School’s Historic Library highlighting the school’s heritage via
photographs and memorabilia of students from the 1920’s - late 1950’s.
• The Historical Society of Forsyth County Headquarters.
• Replica of High School Classroom 40’s-50’s.
• Replica of Primary School Classroom - 1930’s.
• Tam’s Backstage Food & Spirits- visit tamsbackstage.com for
reservation information.
• Handicap Accessible Ramps for performers and visitors.

with Disabilities Act and local ordinances.
