Staff Report
The news that Dahlonega had been named the latest Preserve America Community arrived at Mayor Gary McCullough's desk on eye-catching White House stationary and was signed by First Lady Laura Bush.
“Although it may seem like another award it's really not,” said McCullough. “There's only a handful in the United States.”
The program was started by the First Lady to recognize communities that place a special emphasis on historical preservation.
As a result, Downtown Development Director Joel Cordle invited several city officials and community leaders to the Dahlonega Gold Museum to commemorate the moment.
Pictured, they are, front section from left, Alice Sampson, Sallie Sorohan, Annette Seymore, Gerald Lord, McCullough, Rebecca Shirley, Donna Gessell, Deborah Capone and Jimmy Booth; back section from left, Larry King, Terry Peters, Mac McConnell, Bruce Abraham, Angela Wilson, Max Burns, Hal Williams, Robin Glass, Jennifer Herring and Cordle.

For example, if Mr. Fill-in-the-Blank says something you don't agree with, don't tell the world that Mr. Fill-in-the-Blank is a no good dirty scoundrel who cuts off people in traffic and has owed you $20 since 1997. The Nugget asks you to please just stick to the issues at hand. That way we'll keep the debate lively, without getting personal. And remember, above all else, keep it civil and directed at the topic that's being discussed.
