Georgia’s Attorney General Sam Olens and Cobb County Commission Chair Tim Lee will serve as our Honorary Co-Chairmen. We are thankful for our premier sponsors for this event: Indian Hills Country Club as host and the Wine Shop at Parkaire for their continued support. 

East Cobb Park just celebrated its 10th birthday! A lot of work has gone into developing the park, but there is still a lot more to go. To date, the East Cobb Civitans have donated in excess of $131,000 to the Friends for the East Cobb Park toward those development achievements.
