ESN A IS SPONSORING
TWO REALLY FUN FALL
ACTIVITIES, AND WE
ARE ENCOURAGING
EVERYONE TO JOIN IN.
Fall decorating contest-The
theme is Happy Fall, Y’all.
Everyone is encouraged to dec¬
orate your home or business
for fall by Oct. 15 deadline.
Judging will begin on Oct. 16.
We have an experienced judge
from out of town coming to
find first, second, and third
place winners in business and
in family categories.
Scarecrow contest, free hot
dogs & s’mores, and music in
Everett Park Oct. 15,4:00 p.m.
until 6 p.m.
We are looking for teams
of businesses, families, clubs,
churches, civic groups, com¬
munity workers, etc. to build
a scarecrow in the park from
4:00 to 4:30 p.m. Neighbors
who are not building a scare¬
crow will be glad to help teams
as they assemble their scare¬
crows. Plan your scarecrow
and get your stuff ahead of
time, but You Must Assemble
It In The Park In 30 Minutes!
Please call Jo Ann Dankel by
Oct. 7 to register your team.
This will help us judge how
much food to prepare.
ESNA will provide free hay
to add finishing touches, but
you should plan to stuff your
scarecrow with old plastic
grocery bags, packing peanuts,
or something like that. We
found out that a hay-stuffed
scarecrow is far too heavy to
manage and stinks after it is
wet! You can mount your
scarecrow any way you like
on a garden stake, a wheelbar¬
row, a bicycle, whatever-use
your creativity!
When the party is over, you
may take your scarecrow and
add it to your fall display.
We will have TV and print
media there, so wear your
favorite fall colors

Did you know that increasing
the educational level of workers
in an establishment by one year
is associated with an 8.6 percent
increase in output of all indus¬
tries ... 11 percent for the non¬
manufacturing sector? This can
have a tremendous effect on the
economy in Peach County. If
you do not have a high school
or GED diploma and want to
upgrade your skills, we can help.
L.E.A.P., your business, gov¬
ernment, education, nonprofit
organization, will refer you to
our literacy partner. Middle GA
Technical College (MGTC) for
free day or evening classes. We
currently have two sites in Peach
County; 700 Spruce Street, Wing

Earning a GED diploma will
enable you to enroll in a tech¬
nical college or university
and accomplish your lifelong
dream. It will make a world of
difference not only to yourself,
but to your family, co-workers
and your community. With so
many businesses closing or
downsizing, you need to begin
this process now so that you
will be in a better position
when things turn around. We
believe that things will get
better and there will be a need
for a pool of qualified appli
cants. You could be the first
one lo £ el an interview.
If you already have a diploma
anJ/or degree and want to help
others, L.E.A.P. invites you to
contact us because there is still
a * ar K e number of residents
that are not aware of these free
services. For more informa¬
tion about L.E.A.P. and how
y°*> can help, visit our website
