Hello all. Jessica Griffin here with your Tuesday edition of the Roswell Daily. Keep reading to find out all the community information you need to know right now, including updates on:

• Public Safety Peer Support Team
• Elderly man still missing
• Deck the Square trees sold out

Today's newsletter is sponsored by the Hernandez Group of Keller Williams

Meet a local husband-and-wife real estate team with over a hundred 5-star reviews on Zillow.

It’s not easy getting raves these days — let alone 125 of them.

But here’s a sampling of what Roxie and Michael Hernandez’s clients say about them:

• “Responsive, caring, trustworthy and knowledgeable”
• “Absolutely awesome real estate professionals”
• “I felt that I had a very trustworthy coach behind me at all times.”
• “Amazing! Highly recommended. Extremely loyal, patient and hard workers.”

We could go on — and on — or you could just read the reviews yourself.

How do Roxie and Michael turn so many clients into fans? 28 years of experience in the Atlanta market doesn’t hurt. Nor does their expertise in staging, negotiating and financing.

But mostly it’s this: they care about clients. They take pride in being the best, working the hardest and making sure clients feel they have a true partner and ally as they navigate one of the biggest financial decisions of their lives.

Want to speak to these local gems? Contact The Hernandez Group today.

Now, today's weather:

Chilly with occasional rain. High: 46 Low: 41.

Big love to our premier local sponsor. We couldn’t keep the community informed without you!

Here are the top stories today in Roswell:

1. The Roswell Fire Department and Police Department's Public Safety Peer Support Team met with a nationwide group of various Mental Health Clinicians and Peer Counselors last week. They worked together to come up with ideas about and address the numerous resources that are accessible to public safety officials. Public Safety personnel and First Responders experience and resolve many different critical, fatal and traumatic events. Peer Support's aim is to try to lessen the psychological effects that these situations can cause and exacerbate. The group works to ease and normalize reactions that Public Safety professionals experience by sharing the experiences of other members. (facebook.com)
2. The University of Oregon's lacrosse team announced the players joining the team for the upcoming 2023-2024 season. The announcement was made by the Duck's head coach, Chelsea Hoffmann. Eight new members will join the team, and one of those special players comes from Roswell, GA. Carly Coopman plays the position of defender and is currently attending Blessed Trinity Catholic HS. Coopman is acknowledged for leading Blessed Trinity HS to back-to-back Georgia 5A state championships in 2021 and 2022. She was also on the Eagle Stix Blue club team that won multiple times at the Southern Lacrosse Showdown in 2021 and the SAT 2022 tournament in Georgia. (goducks.com)
