Story 1. kemp
Governor Brian Kemp's Georgians First Leadership Committee is launching a "six-figure" campaign focused on swing districts in preparation for the 2024 election cycle. Of the 11 targeted legislative districts, five are held by Gwinnett County legislators. The committee aims to support Republicans, including Reps. Scott Hilton and Matt Reeves, while criticizing Democrats such as Sen. Nabilah Islam and Reps. Jasmine Clark and Farooq Mughal. The campaign will highlight Governor Kemp's achievements, including tax relief, anti-gang measures, HOPE Scholarship restoration, and teacher pay raises. Leadership committees were established in 2021 to allow candidates to raise and spend unlimited campaign funds. The committee seeks to promote its message to voters and hold Democrats accountable for their policy priorities.
STORY 2: kiwanis
The Lawrenceville Kiwanis Club celebrated its 100th anniversary, marking its longstanding dedication to the community and looking towards the future. As one of the oldest civic organizations in Gwinnett County, the club gathered on May 23, exactly a century after its charter. Despite a decrease in membership to around a dozen due to attrition and the COVID-19 pandemic, a new member was inducted during the centennial celebration. The club's focus is primarily on education and supporting local schools. They host events, provide scholarships, and actively participate in a reading program with Lawrenceville Elementary School. Hubert Tucker, a longtime member, serves as club president for the third time. The club has been a vital part of the community for many years, and its motto is "Serve the children of the world."

STORY 4: dogs
New research has highlighted the positive impact of therapy dogs in children's hospitals. The study found that therapy dogs not only lift the spirits of patients and staff but also provide valuable support during traumatic medical experiences. The most significant benefits were observed in palliative care, with therapy dogs helping patients and improving the workload of medical staff. The study, based on a survey of around 430 medical staff at Shizuoka Children's Hospital in Japan, emphasizes the importance of facility dogs in children's hospitals. These dogs, professionally trained and cared for by medical professionals, have been shown to help children with various conditions, including eating disorders and learning difficulties, as well as aiding adults in stroke recovery. The research contributes to the broader adoption of facility dogs in children's hospitals worldwide. Read more about this story at gwinnettdailypost.com
