WHAT DOES COVID-19, LEMONS & GRATITUDE HAVE IN COMMON? Written by Rosa Santiago Zimmerman Owner & Lead Designer, RSZ Interiors What should we do when life finds a way to challenge us in ways we did not expect? Should we let fear get the best of us and cripple us into a whirlwind of anxiety and uncertainty? Or, should we step up to the plate and challenge it back with the best we each have to give? I, and our partners at Meals 4 Medicine chose the latter! When life decides to give us lemons, we must choose to find the best way to use those lemons. Lemontinis anyone?, or we can clean wood furniture, squeeze one on fish, cut one in half and put in the garbage disposal, bake a Lemon Merengue pie, make lemon zest or better yet, mix a good old batch of Southern spiked lemonade.
6
Meals 4 Medicine was born from a need and passionate desire to answer a calling to help and support our medical workers during the trying times of this Covid-19 pandemic. It was our purpose to provide clean healthy meals for these nurses, doctors, physicians, medical assistants, and other crucial personnel who are risking their lives daily by simply doing their jobs and focusing on those who are ill and in need of care. They can’t take care of us, unless they take care of themselves, so our heartfelt determination was to help as much as we could in taking care of them. What a better way than with clean healthy fuel for their heart, tummies and soul! Conversely, during our brainstorming on how to make a difference and show our gratitude, we realized that this call for action could also help support local, Mom & Pop restaurants who were feeling the financial distress of the self-distancing and stay-at-home orders. If we purchased meals from them, and fed medical workers with these meals, we would be helping; even if just a little, two industries who are an intricate and valuable part of the fabric of what makes our communities great. How could we not jump at the chance to do our best, to put our best effort and foot forward and forge ahead to make a difference? We did! We have! And with your help and donations, we shall continue! Since conception,14 days ago, Meals 4 Medicine formed and lead by my good friends Lynn and Judson Rappaport, in partnership with our firm RSZ Interiors, have fed over 550 medical workers. Next week we will be feeding another 200+. We have supported the medical personnel at Northside Gwinnett Medical Center; the hospital and the ER, Northeast Georgia Braselton ER, Urgent Care and Physicians Group, Chateau Foot & Ankle and Guilford Immediate Care in Gainesville and Oakwood. With your support, we will do even more in the weeks to come.

Community News We have purchased discounted meals from local restaurants and food services such as Dinners by Derek, Mellow Mushroom Gainesville, Tropical Smoothie Duluth, Café Aroma, Healthy from the Heart and Holy Smokes BBQ in Auburn. Talay Asian Cuisine in Suwanee donated 60 meals at no charge for us to dispense. Blessed in an understatement! Our efforts are only as good as the donations that many of our friends, relatives, colleagues and supporters kindly gave for us to foster our determination of making a difference and saying thank you. We set a goal of $15,000 and 2 weeks later we have already reached almost $5,000. However, what matters most, is that we have touched the hearts of so many caregivers, and we have loudly expressed how grateful we are for their tenacity and devotion towards keeping us healthy and safe. As a society we are going to use this experience as a learning opportunity. Many of us are going to implement changes in our lives because this moment in time is making us more aware of how short, fragile and valuable life is, and how sometimes the things we think are priorities and utterly important, seem so insignificant when life strikes and gives us the gift of perspective. We hope that after this pandemic is over, we as a society choose to become more of a united community. That we practice gratitude, love and compassion freely and without prejudice. That we continue to be neighborly, play in the yard with our children, go for long walks, ride a bicycle, smell the roses, star gaze and make time for the things that really matter – EACH OTHER! I am reminded of a quote by May 2020
Alice Morse Earle; “Everyday may not be a good day, but there is something good in every day.” If you would like to make a difference with us, please go to www.Meals4Medicine.com and donate. Every cent donated will be used to feed a medical worker in our area, and every cent spent, will be spent at a local business within our community.

CHĂ‚TEAU RESIDENTS SEW MASKS TO DONATE Written by Lisa Sharma-CE Resident Chateau Elan residents have been stepping up in many ways to help support our community during this pandemic. Many have donated time and money to Northeast Georgia Health System (NGHS), and some recently contributed to meal delivery for the frontline healthcare providers. We would like to highlight how our volunteers have helped make PPE masks. A number of residents have been volunteering their time to cut materials and sew N95 cover masks for our local healthcare workers. The material is distributed by NGHS. Volunteers from our neighborhood have helped make over 500 masks thus far, yet there is still a need to make more. The current need is for the 4-Ply Pleated Mask that can be made out of ANY 100% Cotton Material and any pattern.
100% cotton materials you have at home and convenient drop off locations. Please reach out to Lisa at volunteer@ chateauresidents.com if you need assistance getting your masks to the drop-off location. This is one of many ways you can support our community healthcare workers while staying at home. Thanks to everyone that has volunteered to help make these mask for our Frontline Healthcare Workers!
This is one of many ways you can support our community healthcare workers while staying at home. On the following page, you will find instructions on how to make the simpler 4-Ply Mask with any BOTTOM LEFT: Volunteer Donna Johnson, one of our 1st volunteers to help make masks and prototype the 4-Ply Mask.

A BOX IN THE PANTRY Written by Lynn Everitt-CE Resident How an empty box sitting in my pantry brought joy back to grocery shopping. After 40 plus years of grocery shopping the task of weekly grocery shopping had begun to be a chore that I dreaded every week. I would just rush thru the grocery store as quick as I could so I could check this off my chore list of things to do. Heck I don’t even enjoy going to Costco and I usually buy too much stuff. One day I was talking to my neighbor, John, and he gave me an easy tip that has put joy back into my grocery shopping experience. He said he keeps an empty box in his pantry and when he is out shopping he 10
picks up a couple of items to add to his box each week. And when the box is full he then takes it to the Veterans Resource Center food bank that feeds veterans. The next day I took the first empty box I received from on-line delivery service and placed it in the bottom of my pantry. The next time I went to the store, I thought about that box and the people who may be in need of whats going inside that box. When Publix has a BOGO, I put the free one in the box. When I see special sales, I grab a few for the box. Now instead of dreaded going grocery shopping, I look forward to it because it brings me joy to help. When I over buy at Costco, I put the extra in the box. Do you know that box fills up pretty quickly. Then I simply call the Military support Group in our neighborhood and they take it to the Veterans Resource Center food bank. It’s been so easy to do. If you would like to help feed local veterans and would like to have a full box picked up for delivery to the Veterans Resource Center food pantry located at 66 McElroy Street, Winder, Georgia please call 678-780-6523.

OH, THE PLACES YOU’LL GO The other day, after a short period of self-isolation, a friend said, “I’m kinda starting to understand why pets try to run out of the house when the front door opens”!

HIGHPOINT CIRCLE When the principals of construction leader, Asa Carlton, Inc started to outgrow their Buford, Georgia office, they knew they’d really prefer to build a new Headquarters. More well known for their cutting-edge interior retail designs and build-outs, the group wanted a home that reflected the company’s diversity. Working heavily in the medical industry, it was fitting that a tract of land at the corners of Old Winder Hwy, Thompson Mill Road, and Friendship Road near Northeast Georgia Medical Center, Braselton, was available. “We knew we didn’t want to go further south, into the traffic,” said principals Scott Hester and Brannon Floyd. “We searched for some time and were thrilled to find a ready-to-build property, zoned perfectly for our needs, right in the heart of Braselton’s growing business and medical district.” Asa Carlton will build three beautiful, technically advanced, two-story office buildings on the property they now call Highpoint Circle. Situated on an ample knoll, walking distance from restaurants and other businesses, the sleek new brick and metal buildings will have panoramic views, most notably of the Appalachian foothills. “We are excited for the incredible opportunity that our new location at Highpoint Circle will bring,” said Greg Swinks, the firm’s Vice President. “We are anxious to showcase the exponential growth we’ve experienced, and we really feel the new headquarters will be evidence of our capabilities and diversity as a company,” Swinks explained. Additionally, Swinks expressed how integral the headquarters will be to recruitment of new talent, bringing more jobs to the area.
will boast generous green spaces and parking. The two additional buildings flanking Asa Carlton’s headquarters will be available for lease. “I was thrilled when Asa Carlton agreed to consider property in Braselton. Highpoint Circle fit all of their requirements from a central location and nearby restaurants, to the need for easy access to I-85, I-985, Friendship Road, and Hwy 211,” said Asa Carlton’s Real Estate Broker for Highpoint Circle, Ben Harrison, owner of Sun Realty Group. “This area has become a prime spot for business and medical, highly desired for its proximity to Atlanta, Lake Lanier and the North Georgia Mountains,” Harrison explained. “A central location for the employees travelling from Cumming, Buford, Athens, Lawrenceville, and Gainesville, was number one on Asa Carlton’s list and this Braselton property fit the need. The location couldn’t be more perfect,” Harrison said. Braselton’s well noted and beloved “Life Path”, a paved urban trail of sorts, provides safe space for people to walk, exercise, bike, and golf cart to area businesses. The Highpoint Circle campus will be right off the Life Path. Nearby, along with NEGMC, is Northside Hospital, Longstreet Clinic, Northeast Diagnostic, Chick-Fil-A, Arby’s, Moe’s, Starbucks and Longhorn Steakhouse, among others. “Highpoint Circle will be a tremendous asset to the growing business and medical district here in Braselton,” Harrison explained. For more information about the Asa Carlton companies or Highpoint Circle please visit HighpointCircle.com and AsaCarltonInc.com
Of Asa Carlton’s 200+ employees, approximately 50 will initially occupy Highpoint Circle with the number expanding by another 50% in the near future. The employees will enjoy a progressive and elegant work environment when the company takes occupancy of one of the three buildings planned for the site. The campus

This Could Be You! day you notice a small fleck of discolored paint peeling on your Imagine ...one breakfast room wall. Next thing you know, you find yourself with a sledge hammer and pry bar ripping out sheetrock in your beautiful kitchen and discovering tens of thousands of live termites eating and destroying your wall. It’s obvious to you that they’ve already done thousands of dollars in damages. That’s what termites do to beautiful homes just like yours every day. By the time you discover their presence, the damage is done. And when you realize the whole thing was easily preventable, it makes you sick to your stomach!
Termites: A $5 Billion Threat Eastern subterranean termites are the most typical species that attacks homes in Georgia. Their underground colonies can contain up to a million termites working together to do one thing: Eat Your Home! Their destructive nature causes more damage than fire and floods combined. These damages are not covered by your homeowner’s insurance. Don’t be a victim. Call Today!!
