Duluth Kiwanis, Duluth Merchants

turns on your heart light…Kiwanis
members, Jim Barns, Bruce Saarela, and
George Rhode, along with Duluth
Merchants Association leaders, Sunny

“Some of us are survivors, some
of us raise money, some of us try
to avoid the thought; but most of us
have been touched by breast cancer

polished pink “pinkie” the entire
month of October....We definitely
agree that this pink “pinkie” is an
attention getter…
And on Oct 8th we had the
privilege of attending the annual
American Cancer Society “Dancing

the Gwinnett Civic We watched as
Judge Melodie Snell Conner,
Gwinnett County Commissioner
Shirley Lasseter and Representative

three local “stars” spent their time,
effort and passion to …to help
support this worthy cause!...” Positive Public Image, Inc.
