Atlanta Up Close: 9/6/14

This weekend on Atlanta Up Close....

I have the pleasure of interviewing two fabulous women who have lost HUNDREDS of pounds due to the support they receive from an anonymous group of FOOD ADDICTS.  They'll be hosting an introductory meeting on Saturday September 13th, at 10am at  Greenforest Baptist Church in Decatur. Anyone interested in strengthening their will power to eat healthier and shed some pounds should definitely visit www.FoodAddicts.org.

You'll also hear from the President of the Gold Shield Foundation, Jeff Baxter and Mike Flisser, a board member of the non-profit organization that provides support for Fire-Fighters and Police Officers injured in the line of duty. They're having a Family Bike Ride in Buckhead on Saturday, September 13th at 7pm and invite you to "Light Up The Night" with them as they ride for a great cause!  Get your teams together and register today atwww.GoldShieldAtlanta.org!

Last, but certainly not least, is my interview with Saxy Butler, the  Marketing Director and Founder of Put A Bow On It, a non-profit organization that assists OTHER foundations with marketing, and executing, fundraising events (one of my favorite interviews might I add). PUT A BOW ON IT invites you to their "Champagne Life Affair" Benefit Dinner which will be held on a YACHT on the evening of September 13th.  Proceeds will benefit the Perkerson House Atlanta Housing Program & First Step Up Housing. Please visit www.PutaBowOnItUSA.org for complete details and also stop by www.PerkersonHouseAtlanta.org to learn more about this outstanding organization.

I love my job. I can't say it enough.  I'm so glad to have the responsibility of promoting these wonderful organizations that help this world become a better place.  Please tune in on Saturday at 7am on WAOK, Sunday at 5am on V-103 The People's Station, or Sunday at noon on 1380 WAOK The Voice of the Community.
