Thanksgiving is coming, a time for family and gratitude. And some people go ahead and put up their holiday decorations on November 1.... according to Home Depot it's been Christmas for three weeks already!
Whatever November means to you, we hope you have a happy one. Keep us in mind as you start planning holiday gifts for friends and family, we've got something for everyone on your list.

EXERCISE YOUR RIGHT TO VOTE!
The American right to vote is governed by the United States Constitution, including various federal and state laws. Constitutional amendments 15, 19 and 26 ensure that the voting rights of U.S. citizens cannot be denied or abridged on account of race, color, sex, or age (18 and older). It's a right, and it's a privilege, for Americans to vote for and elect their leaders.
Election Day is Tuesday, November 8. Georgia has several BIG races this election season, in case you haven't heard; you can and should head to the polls to make your voice heard. Early voting has begun, and will remain open until November 4. There are a number of early voting locations in Fulton County; you can access the list of locations, as well as the hours each are open, here.
