🌱 Sheriff Looking For Car Thief + ‘Charlotte's Web’ Auditions Open

Hi all. I'm back in your inbox this warm morning with your new edition of the Woodstock-Towne Lake Daily. Come along for everything you need to know about what's going on these days in town.

First, today's weather:

Partly sunny. High: 91 Low: 69.

📢 I’m looking for business owners and marketers in Woodstock-Towne Lake who want to build awareness, connect with customers and increase sales.

I have a limited number of sponsorships available to introduce our Woodstock-Towne Lake Daily readers to local businesses they need to know about. If that’s you, then I invite you to learn more and secure your spot now.

Here are the top three stories in Woodstock-Towne Lake today:

1. The Cherokee County Sheriff's Office is looking for a suspected car thief out of Acworth. A 2007 Toyota Camry went missing last week and the suspect is Brian McClure. The vehicle was seen on surveillance video Sunday at 5:09 p.m. on Bells Ferry Road near Butterworth Road. If anyone sees the vehicle or suspect, please contact the sheriff's office at 911. (WSB-TV)
2. In-person auditions are being held at 6 p.m. on August 15 and 16 for the Youth Spotlight Production's theater education program, "Charlotte's Web." Video auditions will be accepted until August 16 at 8:30 p.m. Callbacks will take place on August 17 at 6 p.m. Please see the theater's website for important audition requirements and rehearsal and performance schedules. The program is open to students in grades 3-8. (Woodstock Arts)
3. Free Home Elementary School has named Kristin Davis a 2022 Teacher of the Year. Davis began her teaching career about 18 years ago, taking a break after 3 to help at home with her four children. After a 15-year break, while still engaging with her children's schools in the PTA, Davis returned to teaching. (CCSD Press Release)
