SUCCESSFUL RALLY

Thanks to Joel Tucker, my campaign manager and friend, Saturday, August 29, 2009 was a fun, successful, and organized campaigning day. We had a ton of volunteers show up to help with our campaign.

Thank you to everyone who came early for coffee and danishes and helped put together signs and stuff door bags. Joel organized teams of three and we put these teams in every Ward in East Point. We spent numerous hours walking streets, knocking on doors, talking with East Point residents and being allowed to put our signs in yards all over this city. East Point citizens are excited about the upcoming election. They are excited that we are coming to their doors and seeking their input. I did not get turned away from one door. Many people invited me into their home to chat for a minute or two. They told me of their hopes and dreams for East Point. They also told me of their disappointments and areas where our city could do better. Thank you to all the residents who so gratiously gave of their time to talk with us.

After canvassing, we enjoyed a cookout where we all told our stories of the day. Thanks to Bobby and my beautiful god-daughter Sidney for organizing games at the house and preparing all the food for the famished street walkers. We were tired and hungry when we returned to the house but everyone was excited about how positive and successful the day had been.

My friends are dedicating their time and energy and going outside of their comfort zones to get me elected. Words cannot express my gratitude. East Point citizens are giving their support in many different ways in the hope that my campaign will be successful. As such, I feel a great responsibility to put my best foot forward and work hard for a better East Point. I am up for the challenge and if given the opportunity, I will be a councilman that East Point will be proud to call their representative.

Mom and Dad at 50th Wedding Celebration

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY MOM AND DAD

On August 20, 2009, my parents will celebrate their 54th wedding anniversary. My two brothers and I are very blessed to have such wonderfully loving, generous and hard working parents. My father, William "Grant" Morrow, before he retired, owned and operated "Morrow Construction Company" and worked from dawn to dusk to provide for his family. My father was head Deacon at Bethsada Baptist Church and remains active today. My mother, Dorothy D. Morrow, was valedictorian of her class at Bennett College and went on to become a successful public school teacher and administrator. My mother remains active in Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, The Linx, Bennett College Alumnae Association, is an award winning volunteer at RDU Airport and found time to found a charity organization that assists the elderly. My parents have taught their children by word and example. As such, hard work, taking personal responsibility and a sense of civic duty are valued in our family. When times get tough, as they sometimes do, I remember my parents' words: "To those that much is given, much is expected."
Congratulations Mom and Dad on 54 wonderful years together. I strive everyday to live a life that makes you proud through my words, actions and deeds.

CAMPAIGN SORING HIGH

During the last two weeks we have been canvassing Ward C. We have met some wonderful people that are very supportive of our campaign. Thank you to all the Ward C residents who have welcomed us into their homes, put election signs in their yards and generously contributed financially to our campaign. We hear your concerns. Ward C is concerned about developments with Atlanta Christian College, East Point services, attracting stable business to the community and beautification of our city. A chief concern that I repeatedly hear is the desire to have the East Point City Council work together for the good of the residents.

We continue to want your feedback and input. Please continue to e-mail us with your thoughts, questions and concerns. Next weekend we will be in Ward A. If you see us on the street, please stop and say "hi"!
