We want to remind you about our next Fireside Chat on food insecurity. The event will take place on Thursday, February 25, from 10:00 to 11:00 a.m.
Guest speaker Jon West, Vice President of Partner Relations for the Atlanta Community Food Bank, will lead the discussion on trends in hunger and how to think and act strategically and innovatively by coordinating community resources to increase food access. As we continue through COVID-19 and beyond, we need to find strategies to provide better access to food for children, seniors, and financially vulnerable individuals.
You can register for this event here. The event is free and open to the public!

Special Virtual Presentation: Gee's Bend |
Chamber Member ACT1 Theater (“Alpharetta’s Home for Community Theater”), in partnership with the City of Alpharetta Department of Recreation, Parks & Cultural Services, celebrates Black History Month with a special virtual presentation of Gee’s Bend. Gee's Bend depicts the turbulent history of African-Americans in the 20th century by focusing on a single family in the real community of Gee's Bend, AL, which is now famous for the beautiful quilts created by the women that grew up there. Gospel songs weave in and out of this hauntingly beautiful work. This production was filmed in the Black Box Theater of the Alpharetta Arts Center, and thanks to the City of Alpharetta, is offered free to the public. The show will air On Demand either February 19 & 20, or February 26 & 27. Passes available at www.act1theater.com.
