🌱Alpharetta Avalon Jingle Jog + COVID-19 Vaccine Clinic

Hello there, Alpharetta-Milton! I'm here in your inbox today to get you up to speed on everything you need to know about what's going on around town, including news on:

• Alpharetta Avalon Jingle Jog event
• COVID-19 vaccine clinic in Milton
• School remote learning on December 6

Today's newsletter is sponsored by the Maxwell Adventure Team of Century 21 Connect Realty

How did this local real estate team get over 80 5-star reviews from clients?

• "The most responsive, thorough and results-driven agents I’ve ever worked with"
• "Beyond fantastic"
• "Knowledgeable, professional and responsive"
• "Impressive"
• "Highly recommended"

That's just a sampling of what clients say about local Realtors LeeAnn and Phillip Maxwell of the Maxwell Adventure Team. How do they get such raves?

It helps that they’ve lived in the area for over 25 years and are experts in the local market.

And also that they have complementary skills: LeeAnn spent years in the mortgage industry and can help clients navigate tricky financing challenges. Phillip is data-driven and can help buyers and sellers assess value by the numbers.

But the real reason for the raves is this: the Maxwells are obsessed with customer service.

For buyers, that means a 16-step process to help you find a dream home that works with your finances. For sellers, it means concierge-level service that includes a pre-listing inspection, free professional staging, photography and marketing materials. And for both, it means having the skills, temperament and experience to get deals done — which is why The Maxwell Adventure Team is routinely in the top 5% of producers in the Atlanta area.

Work with the best. Visit the Maxwell Adventure Team today.

Now, today's weather:

Today will be chilly with periods of rain. The high will be 50 with a low of 36.

Here are the top stories in Alpharetta-Milton today:

1. Mark your calendars for the Alpharetta Avalon Jingle Jog on December 5th! This event is open to children aged 17 and under and includes a one mile fun run race. Afterwards, you can enjoy a holiday brunch, Nutcracker Ballet performance and other holiday activities. Registration is limited to 200 participants. (Awesome Alpharetta)
2. Are you interested in getting a COVID-19 vaccine before Thanksgiving? Qualified Milton residents can take advantage of a clinic. It will take place in Community Place near City Hall this Friday starting at noon. The vaccines will be given by members of the Milton Fire-Rescue Department. If you have questions on the type(s) of vaccine being offered, please email covidsupport@miltonga.gov or Firefighter Derek Hofmann at derek.hofmann@miltonga.gov.(City of Milton)
3. Our schools will have a remote learning day on December 6th due to the upcoming runoff election. Many schools in Fulton County are polling sites, and there will be significant traffic at the schools that day. The election is necessary because neither U.S. Senate candidate received 50% of the vote, which is required by law. The schools will return to in person learning on December 7th. (Reporter Newspapers + Atlanta Intown)
4. This Saturday is National Take a Hike Day! Here's a great way to celebrate: Bring the whole family for a FREE event on the beautiful trails of the Alpharetta Greenway. Enjoy a guided hike, crafts, educational workshops and more! It will start at 1:00 PM at the Preston Ridge Community Center located at Preston Ridge Rd Suite 100 in Alpharetta.

From my notebook:

• It's gotten much colder this week and many of us want to start using our fireplace to stay warm. Make sure to open the flue or damper before you light a fire.( Some of us like to keep it closed when it's warm to keep wildlife out. ) If you don't, the smoke could end up in your house, and firefighters will show up. (Alpharetta DPS)
