Dear Reader,
Thank you so much for picking up this copy of the North GA Kids’ Directory! Please allow me to
introduce myself to you. My name is Jessica and I am the publisher of this wonderful resource. I grew up in Gainesville, GA, graduated from North Hall High School, received an Associate’s Degree from Gainesville College, and earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Marketing from Kennesaw State University.I am married and have 3 beautiful children, ages 8, 6, and 2. I happen to be one of those moms who is always on the lookout for any and every community event. The trouble was, the resources were not always right at my fingertips, and that left me searching. So, when the opportunity to purchase the North Georgia Kids’ Directory presented itself I was very excited and could not wait to help other families “connect to the community”. I feel that with my marketing background and my inquisitive mommy mind, I can truly make this your “Go To” resource! I am working for you; the mom, grandma, dad, aunt, uncle, advertiser, etc. Please feel free to contact me if you ever have any ideas or suggestions for me. Also, if you do use an advertiser in this directory, please let them know that North GA Kids’ sent them your way.Again, I hope you enjoy this publication as much as I enjoy putting it together. Thanks so much!
