New Bridge for Lower Tobler Creek Trail |
Thanks to generous grants from
the E. J. Grassmann Trust and the Knight Fund for Milledgeville, along with
skilled labor from several dedicated volunteers, we now have a very sturdy
wooden bridge crossing the creek on Lower Tobler Creek Trail. Louis Kaduk, of Kaduk
Environmental Services, served as the supervisor for this project and for
much of the Outdoor Learning Center development at Andalusia.

O'Connor
Postage Stamp Campaign |
|
The Flannery O'Connor Society (Modern
Language Association) has launched a campaign to commemorate the life and
works of Flannery O'Connor on a U.S. postage stamp. The Society is
joining efforts with the Foundation and several other organizations to
petition the
U.S. Citizens' Stamp Advisory Committee to name O'Connor as the 26th
honoree in the USPS Literary Arts Series in 2010 to coincide with what would
have been O'Connor's 85th birthday. WE NEED YOUR HELP! Please
print, sign, and mail the appeal letter (click
here for text) to the Stamp Advisory Committee. More personal
letters, preferably printed on institutional letterhead, would also be very
effective. With your help, we can realize our goal of raising
awareness of the life and works of one of America's finest writers in this
exciting and well-deserved way. |
