Max Baca, Henry Bradford, Hannah Bradford, Leo Baca, Makenna Villone, Charlie Baca, and Colin Villone at their cookie and lemonade stand.
It’s a mother’s instinct to protect her children but, the day after the Haitian earthquake, I called my three young sons to my side and, together, we watched the ruination unfold. Soon, my attention turned from the television to the boys’ awed faces. Before the next commercial, the boys had dug from their banks fifteen dollars and thirty-one cents to set up a cookie and lemonade stand to raise funds for Haiti.

Happy Valentine’s Day from the Editor
With three children, the buzz words, “balance,” “family,” and “education,” have taken on a deeper meaning for me. I have real-ized the importance of how I use my time to achieve my goals from managing the paper to keeping in shape to being a mom. A big timesaver for me is using the resources that are right here in East Cobb. This month’s issue includes the special section, “East Cobb Child Care & Preschool Guide.” If you have young children, these charts on pages 12-20 will help you discover just how many quality preschool programs are offered right here in our own backyard. When you read this edition of the EAST COBBER, as well as each edition, please use this magazine as a quick and easy way to learn about all the resources we have close by to make your life better and to help you catch up on some community causes. I hope you learn something you didn’t know before—whether it be about a local business, a special event, or what your neighbor is up to!
