VisionWalk Update:

Thanks to everyone who joined us for the 7th Annual Atlanta VisionWalk!  It was cold and muddy, but that didn’t keep almost 600 walkers from gathering at Piedmont Park.  It is not too late to help us reach our Atlanta VisionWalk goal of $145,000.  VisionWalk season does not end until June 30th.  To donate, please visit the Atlanta VisionWalk website.  Thank you for your support!

Congratulations to the Atlanta Chapter for receiving the Outstanding Chapter Award for 2013! The award will be presented at our VISIONS Conference during the dinner program on Saturday night.

I want you to know that when we discuss chapters with volunteers in other markets or with staff across the country, Atlanta is always a model we point to.  You are a true example of how just a few people can accomplish great things!   Congratulations to each of you!  You are amazing and we (FFB) are so proud of you and thankful for all you do!
