Decatur resident Kristin Ebersold would like to thank Captain Ninetta Violante of the Decatur Fire Department for teaching a child-centered (and very fun and engaging) first aid and CPR class. Ninetta spent several hours on a Friday night teaching Decatur kids how to be safer citizens.
Michael Mears, former mayor of Decatur and now a full-time professor of law at Atlanta’s John Marshall Law School, has been elected chairperson of the Georgia Institute of Continuing Legal Education. Professor Mears served on the Board of Trustees of the institute for four years before being elected chairperson.
Congratulations to Jackson Swan for winning the National Miss Reigning America preteen title this summer.
