I wanted to personally invite our HD 83 DeKalb community to this family friendly outdoor event this weekend. I have been a volunteer for Open Streets for many years, and it is always a lot of fun. All are welcome! On Saturday morning, I'll be one of the bike ride leaders. On Sunday, I'll be one of the costume judges for the parade, and helping to staff the Emory Village Alliance table, so come say hello if you can come!
