DAR Plants Legacy Tree

The Philadelphia Winn Chapter (PW) of the Daughters of the American Republic (DAR) planted a Legacy Sugar Maple at the Elisha Winn Plantation in Dacula, Georgia. They dedicated it to the Gwinnett Historical Society (GHS) in honor of their chapter’s namesake, Mrs. Philadelphia Winn Maltbie, daughter of Elisha Winn and Judith Cochran. When full grown, the tree is estimated to achieve a height of 40-60 feet—not in our lifetime, but as a ‘Legacy’ for our children and grandchildren.

MJCCA

The Marcus Jewish Community Center of Atlanta (MJCCA) honored veterans on the morning of November 11, paying tribute to their service and the sacrifices each of them has made to ensure our freedom here in the United States. In a touching ceremony, the MJCCA’s Weinstein School preschoolers presented each veteran with an American flag and sang songs to commemorate Veterans’ Day.
