Is Your Loved One in the Military?

Gather around the water cooler to discuss what's happening in Northeast Cobb today, May 31.

1. As I remembered the veterans, and soldiers presently fighting overseas, on Memorial Day, I wondered how many of our Northeast Cobb youth are stationed overseas in the military. Is your son or daughter in Iraq, or another part of the Middle East? I'd like to tell their story. Please contact me at julia.harris@patch.com.

2. Is your child enrolled in a summer camp? Which one, and what made you decide to enroll in that particular camp? I'd enjoy featuring camps that our local kids are attending this summer. Please contact me at julia.harris@patch.com.

3. It's summer time, so it is vacation time. Where are you headed this summer with family and friends? Will you stay close to Georgia, such as Savannah, or the mountains? Or, will you take a vacation aboard? I'd like to write about local families and how they vacation over the summer. Has the recession or gas prices affected where you vacation? Please send me an email with your story to julia.harris@patch.com.

4. It's no secret; everyone knows I like to trout and bass fish. I've been trout fishing two miles from the Alpine village of Helen at Uncoi. I caught an 11-inch river trout there this spring. I've caught bass at Lake Lanier. Is there a place where I can fish (and actually catch some fish) in Northeast Cobb? What's your favorite fishing spot? Is there good fishing to be had in Cobb County? Please send me an email with information to julia.harris@patch.com.

5. A local mother seeks a sweet, level-headed, and caring babysitter for two children, a 4-year-old boy and a 15-month-old girl, on Tuesdays and Thursdays from approximately 9 a.m. - 2 p.m. She'd like the job to begin ASAP, and it ends on Thursday, July 28. Care to be provided in her home. The position could grow to weekend nights and more daytime hours in the summer. Pay range is $10-12/hour.  Fun-loving, warm family. They seek a babysitter who can become a part of the family. You must be a nurturing person who enjoys playing and actively engaging children.
