NEWS YOU CAN EAT
Superstar volunteers grace this issue. Our 5th annual 20 Under 20 begins on Page 4 and we’re sure you’ll agree these are some special students. Each one carries a load of sports, clubs, arts and academics. But, what really catches our attention is their aptitude for giving back to the community. These are feel-good stories – so, if you are looking for something to make you smile, you’ve landed in the right place. To make this issue happen, like we’ve done in previous years, we’ve relied on nominations from people in the community. We ask for nominations in INtown, Facebook, Twitter and our website. And, now we are campaigning for 2014 nominations during this coming year. Do you know someone we should recognize? Please let us know. Love is in the details of telling a good story. It helps that we had local photographer Jeff Roffman helping us with the cover photo. He’s usually behind the lens photographing families, children, weddings and events and he’s head photographer for the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra and Atlanta Opera. He has a way of making people feel comfortable. His joking with the students brought big smiles to their faces. We’re shining the light on them as we tell their inspiring acts of servitude. Enjoy reading! Happy New Year!
