and one has E. Cuniculi, a parasite.
All of the rabbits are safe, medicated,
happy and recovering now, the rescue

Woody had previously
been serving as publisher
of the Forsyth and
Dawson County News.
“The community news
industry is changing
almost daily as we consis

provide our customers with
the information they need

Forsyth counties.
“I’m incredibly excited
to take on this new chal

need strong news organi

we fill that role. We have
to explore new opportuni
ties in digital platforms
and social media to make
sure we are giving our
readers the news experi
ence they prefer while
maintaining the legacy of
excellence created by our
traditional newspapers in
each market,” Woody
said.
“I look forward to
becoming involved in
Hall County and continu

Forsyth and Dawson
communities. This area is
my home, and I want to
be a part of making it bet
ter,” she said.
Woody is a native of
Forsyth County, having
graduated from North

before attending North
Georgia College and
State University. She and
her husband, Robbie

other areas of responsibil
ity. In that capacity she
will continue to work
with Norman Baggs, who
serves as general manager
for MMM.

The projects targeted with the awards
could serve 183,615 locations, both

state data, 132,050 of these locations

and to watch the improvement in edu

create,” Representative Terry England
said in the release.
In addition to the Broadband
Infrastructure grant funding, the
Federal Communications

“We look forward to the positive
impact these projects will have once
completed,” Kemp said in the release.
“If you look at the map of Georgians
who will now have access to rural
broadband, you will see a promise
kept.”
