The Greater North Fulton Chamber of Commerce (GNFCC) met today - Thursday, January 31, 2008 - for lunch at Country Club of the South for its quarterly meeting in the Johns Creek area. The highlight of the luncheon meeting was Mayor Mike Bodker's first official State of the City Address. 
Mayor Bodker began his time on the podium with a few lighthearted remarks and words of thanks to those who have supported him during his first year in office, setting the tone for a short but informative "State of the City" Address which highlighted the accomplishments of 2007 and goals for 2008 for the new city.
The City of Johns Creek was named by Relocate-America in the Top 25 List of Places to go to School for 2007, a great an unexpected recognition for the city's first year in existence. Mayor Bodker thanked his staff and the city's professional support staff for making this possible.
Mayor Bodker listed 2007's top accomplishments as:
Mayor Bodker also highlighted two huge initiatives that have become a top priority for 2008. The first is the "Choose to Use Johns Creek" initiative, in which he is encouraging all residents of the Johns Creek area to use Johns Creek, GA, as their official mailing address. As of June 1, 2007, the United States Post Office officially recognized Johns Creek, GA, as a valid mailing address. The Mayor and his staff are working to push an initiative with the citizens to have "every bill and magazine" each citizen receives be switched over to the Johns Creek mailing address.
The second top priority initiative the Mayor is pushing for is for Johns Creek to be named "Georgia's First Heart-Ready City" by the American Heart Association. By campaigning for the funds to put a portable defibrillator in every fire truck, police car, first responder vehicle and even in our parks, Johns Creek could be come the first city in Georgia to be awarded this socially-conscious recognition.
2008 goals for the City of Johns Creek include:
In closing, Mayor Bodker said that his most important goal for the future is to "continue to implement initiatives that bring government closer to the people."The future looks bright for the City of Johns Creek, thanks to Mayor Mike Bodker and his capable staff. We at The Gebhardt Group are looking forward to being an integral part in the growth of our great city!

Would you like to purchase some Girl Scout cookies to send to our troops overseas?
IT'S EASY!
You pay for the cookies, and then Troop 846 does the rest! Troop 846 is located in Sandy Springs, Georgia, at North Springs High School.
Last year we sent 1500 boxes of cookies to the troops -- this year, our goal is 2000 boxes!
Simply email me with your order. If you are ordering for the troops, you don't even have to pick the cookies - we will just pick them out when we place the final order.
Then send me a check or pay me via PayPal. To send a check, make it out to MAURA GEBHARDT and mail to:

To pay via PayPal, email me your order and I will email you back through PayPal with the "Request Money" instructions.
Cookies are $3.50 per box, but if you would like to also donate toward the postage, you can round that up to $4.00 per box. If you would simply like to make a donation toward postage, just email me the amount you'd like to donate.

My troop, Troop 846 from North Springs High School in Sandy Springs, Georgia, annually sends Girl Scout Cookies to our troops stationed overseas, to give them a taste of home.
Troop 846 sent 600 boxes of cookies overseas to soldiers in Iraq, Afghanistan, Germany and North Africa. With postage and packaging funded through the generous donations of their cookie clients and families, soldiers known as "Cookie Santas" received cases of boxes of Girl Scout cookies to distribute among their fellow soldiers.
In 2007, they sent a whopping 1500 boxes to soldiers stationed in Iraq and Afghanistan.
HOW CAN I HELP, you ask? You can BUY COOKIES to be sent overseas - or you can DONATE TO POSTAGE.
And if you know of a soldier stationed overseas who would love to get a taste of home in the form of Girl Scout Cookies, we'll also be collecting addresses!
Keep an eye out for a post on Friday -- and if you'd like a personal email reminder at that time, email me now and I'll put you on our list!

I wanted to thank you for doing such a great job on handling the sale of our home (in Country Club of the South). I have sold 7 homes and this was one of the best experiences we have had with selling real estate. The entire reason is because of how professionally you handled the entire transaction from beginning to end. ~ Bob Hasty
Thank you for the very professional way you handled the listing and selling of our son Jim's home in Cumming, GA. Jim had used other Realtors but none of them treated him with the respect and guidance you provided. Your feedback system is a great tool and we never had to guess what potential buyers thought of the property; you kept us informed and negotiated a sales price that was more than we expected to receive in such a tough market. I would tell anyone who wanted to buy or sell a home to call you FIRST! ~ Donna Hanrahan
Pam is a highly competent Realtor with a great sense for the area. She is extremely professional and has more patience than one can imagine (I had to drag her through at least 125 houses or more). She is highly responsive and is a great communicator- everything you'd ever want in a Realtor. I'm convinced that Pam was not focused on just finding us a house-she wanted to help us find a home. ~ Jeff Barna
It is a rare exception when I take the time to write a complimentary letter to recognize a professional such as yourself, but felt that your work representing me, both as a seller...and then a buyer, warrants such action on my part... I want to applaud your total dedication and professionalism. You make me always feel that I was your only client, although I know you had many others. You invested your time above and beyond what was expected, dealt with me honestly and worked on my behalf at all times. For that I thank you. You're the best of the best! ~ Nick Pierce
[Pam] goes the extra mile...no, ten miles! She services each client as if YOU are her ONLY client. It is a rare, wonderful and refreshing experience to have the opportunity to recognize superior performance and to say "Thank You" for the pleasure of our experience working with Pam to both buy and sell my home. ~ Trent Tetterton
We've owned a number of homes, in many areas of the country, so we've dealt with many Realtors. You rank right at the top. You were professional, helpful and knowledgeable. ~ S. Michael Sharp, Ph.D.
We felt you did a wonderful job in helping us get the house ready for the market and in preparing all the advertising materials. You were always there for me, by phone and in person. I can't thank you enough for your assistance and personal support. ~ Barb Alderson
