ELECTION DAY APPROACHING

Last evening we attended the Cherry Blossom Neighborhood Association Candidate Forum and had a wonderful time. Thank you to Bonnie Askew and The Cherry Blossom Neighborhood Association for putting on a very organized and informative Forum. We must also thank all of the attendees for their warm reception.

Election day is drawing near. We will be at the Village of Egan Park neighborhood association meeting on Thursday, October 1st. In addition, we will have a booth at the 5th Annual Destination East Point on Saturday, October 3rd. We look forward to meeting new neighbors and enjoying a day of campaigning. Please come by our booth and pick up your "Elect K. Eric Morrow" balloons!

A BUSY WEEK

It was a busy week on the campaign trail. We started the week by supporting the Atlanta Braves with neighborhood friends. On Labor Day, we enjoyed a relaxing day with neighbors and friends cooking out and playing yard games. Tuesday, Colonial Hills Neighborhood Association welcomed the candidates. We met many Colonial Hills neighbors and listened to their concerns as they got to know me as a candidate. Thursday, we attended the Frog Hollow and Historic Conley Hills Neighborhood Associations who joined forces to co-sponsor a Mayoral Candidates' Forum. We listened intently to what the mayoral candidates had to say and how they presented themselves. We also reunited with many old friends and were introduced to many new supporters. Saturday was a full day of knocking on doors, getting our message out and meeting our neighbors. We also stopped by the Jefferson Park Field Day at Sumner Park where we enjoyed talking with neighborhood friends and enjoying a burger. It was great seeing Mayor Macon and Councilwoman Slaughter-Gibbons at the event. I am sure that the Jefferson Park Neighborhood Association appreciated these elected officials stopping by and lending support.

Thank you to all the supporters who pat me on the back and give me an encouraging word. I have never campaigned for public office before and your words and generous spirits pick me up when the going gets tough. You, the wonderful people of East Point, are the only reason that I am seeking a seat on the city council. You deserve a councilperson who is involved in the community at large, especially in Ward B. You deserve a councilperson who you know personally and will address your questions and concerns in a prompt fashion. As you tell me time and time again, it is time for a change. Together, we will make this change. With your help we will be victorious on November 3rd and beyond!

We have been working hard but on Monday, September 14, I will be taking the day off enjoying my birthday with family and friends. No worries though, on Tuesday we are back to work and I look forward to seeing my neighborhood friends at the Jefferson Park Neighborhood Association.

THE RACE IS ON!

On Monday, August 31, 2009, we qualified to be placed on the November 3rd ballot for East Point City Council Ward B at-large! It is a very exciting time for me personally and my campaign. I look forward to winning the election in November and working for the citizens of East Point to continue to move this city forward. I congratulate all those who have qualified for Mayor and Council positions. My campaign is focused on building strong relationships so that when I am elected, we can hit the ground running and concentrate on those issues that are of paramount concern to the citizens of East Point. As I walk the streets, in every Ward I hear the same concerns...citizens are pleading for our elected officials to work together for the good of the City. My campaign is dedicated to professionally working with other elected officials to gain the trust and respect of East Point citizens. In the very near future campaigning will be over and the work will begin in earnest. Regardless of who the citizens of East Point choose to represent them, I urge all the candidates to vow that in 2010 a new day will dawn for East Point and we will all work together for a singular goal...making East Point the best city in our state.

Please look for our campaign at these upcoming events:

September 8th - Colonial Hills Neighborhood Association located at Cameron Academy (Knotts Ave. & Newnan St.);

If you already have a sign, please ask your neighbors and friends for their support. We must gain name recognition if we are to be victorious in November. Please call me with any questions or concerns at 404-643-4740.

My best,

Eric
