The Buckhead Council of Neighborhoods: Organized, Energized and Focused
The Buckhead Council of Neighborhoods:  Organized, Energized and Focused

A native of Augusta, Georgia, Mary Norwood is a former 3-term Atlanta City Council Member, a two-time candidate for Mayor of Atlanta, a former small business owner, and a community advocate.

 

Norwood began her career as the chief operating officer for a radio company, successfully operating and marketing stations throughout the southeast United States.  She was president of a national business organization and the principal broker of a Georgia-based real estate firm.  Later, Norwood founded a computer telephony company, introducing new technology to the market. 

 

In 2001, Norwood won her first election as a citywide Atlanta City Council member.  She won re-election overwhelmingly in 2005, earning a reputation as a leader who brought governments and people together to solve problems.

 

Norwood ran for Mayor of Atlanta in 2009 and was defeated by only 714 votes, garnering 49.58% of the vote.  After receiving encouragement from voters all across the City, Norwood ran for the Atlanta City Council once again, handily winning her former citywide seat.

 

In 2017, Norwood ran once again for Mayor of Atlanta.  She came up short by almost the exact margin as in 2009, with 49.55% of the vote.

 

Mary Norwood has continued to heed the call of public service as a community advocate, serving on dozens of community-focused tasks forces and projects.  She has served on Boards of Directors for 10 associations.  Most recently, Norwood was appointed as the Chair of the Buckhead Council of Neighborhoods, a non-profit council with over 40 officially designated neighborhoods.

 

Norwood has a deep understanding of government at all levels.  She has developed expertise in transportation, infrastructure, environment, and zoning matters.  She attended Sweet Briar College and is a graduate of Emory University.  She is married to Doctor Felton Norwood, a retired Atlanta pediatrician, and lives in Tuxedo Park, a Buckhead neighborhood in Atlanta, Georgia.

June is Photo Month!
SMILE!  Need to add or update your photo in the Kiwanis Club of Atlanta directory?  Julius Lee will be taking photos before and after all the luncheon meetings during the month of June!  So put on your best smile and make sure your gorgeous mug is on view for all the members to see!
June 25th Meeting Will Celebrate our Country's Birthday!
Be sure to join us on Tuesday, June 25th for a special musical celebration of our country's birthday - July 4th!  Peggy Johnson will play a musical medley of our service theme songs, so be sure to sing along when your theme song is played!
 
We are not meeting on Tuesday, July 2nd, so this is your chance to celebrate!  
We Need YOU to be a part of the "Lunch Bunch"!
Our club is looking for about 6 individuals who are willing to become part of the "Lunch Bunch" team!  Team members will help the lunch meetings operate smoothly by working the a/v board and sounds system in the back, ensuring that any a/v the speakers use are properly set up, and working the microphones during the Q&A sessions!
 
While no technical experience is necessary, volunteers should feel comfortable and confident adjusting sound levels and setting up the computer for power point and video presentations.  And the benefit is a dedicated comfy seat at the a/v table during lunch!  wink
 
Please contact Karen at KiwanisClubAtlanta@gmail.com to sign up!
 
Parking Changes for the Loudermilk Parking Garage
United Way is now contracted with LAZ Parking to provide the parking services for the Loudermilk Center parking garage.  And with this comes changes to our parking system, some now and some in the future.  Please be sure to read all information thoroughly to avoid having your car towed.
Beginning immediately, parking will cost $12 just for a vehicle to enter the garage and immediately leave it.  There is no complimentary time.  So be sure you obtain a parking validation sticker when you arrive to a club meeting to ensure that you aren't charge the higher rate. 
 
Reserved Parking Places are only available for Kiwanis Club members who display the Kiwanis decal on their car at all times, even after the club meeting begins.  You must have this decal placed inside your back window on the passenger side. If you have a convertible, you can place it on the front window on the drivers side.  It is a static cling decal and easy to adhere.  Please get one from Karen at the luncheon meeting.  If you do not have a decal on your car, you may park in any unmarked parking space located on floors 4 through 6 of the garage.
 
Guests attending the luncheon meetings will need to park in unmarked parking places, and not the reserved spots.
 
Starting Immediately: If you do not have a decal on your car and you park in a reserved space, you will be booted and you must pay to remove the boot.  The 2nd and subsequent offenses may result in your car being towed.
 
Parking Cards: If you have a parking card, you will need to complete a form identifying your vehicle and license plate, and return to Karen ASAP.  There is a place on the form for a second vehicle in case you drive an alternate car at times.  This form will help LAZ identify you as a Kiwanis card parker in case there is ever any trouble with your card working and your ability to enter/exit the garage.  A Parking Form may be downloaded HERE.
 
Also, parking cards are being reprogrammed and will only work on Tuesdays from 9:30 am - 4 pm.  If you have a parking card and have been using it to access the garage on other days, it will no longer work.
 
Parking Cost Increase:  Beginning October 1, Parking will increase for both those with parking cards and those that do daily tickets.  Beginning October 1st, Parking Cards will cost $38 per quarter and parking tickets will be $4 per luncheon visit and only valid on Tuesday.
 
Thank you for your attention to this and ensure that your car does not get towed by placing a decal on your car immediately, or parking in the unreserved places.
 
Thank you.
