State President’s
Message
Lighting Up Lives –
Celebrating Fifty Years of Service
Ashley Koby
We have just had our first CGP state board meeting
and a very successful officers training the weekend
of February 4.
Paul Bowers has offered to host a “Yammer with
Paul” session focused on CGP on March 15 at
1:30 p.m.. Please join in and be thinking about
questions to ask.
The board voted to increase our service hour goal to
70,000 this year and continue what we started last
year with not having a membership goal number.
We are however encouraging each chapter to
maintain or increase membership when compared
to 2011. We also voted to raffle off a 2012 Kia
Sorrento with tickets being sold between June 1 and
September 6 with the drawing being held at the
Energy Exchange meeting on Sept 6. The raffle will
benefit Electric Kids.
As far as officers training, we had 154 people in
attendance and shared a tremendous amount of
information and ideas. Paul and Karen Bowers
attended as well as Mike Anderson and Jeff Petrea,
all showing their support and encouragement for the
year. We ended the day with a great motivational
speech by Martha Lanier, author of Pink Lemonade,
who challenged us to overcome our fears, use the
skills of those around us, and live our best life.
Don’t forget to join the Citizens of Georgia Power
Group on Yammer to share upcoming events,
meetings, projects, or best practices across the
state. Go to Yammer.com to learn more and to sign
up. You don’t want to miss an upcoming Yammer
with Paul.

Heart of Georgia/Macon Has Employee
Appreciation Breakfast
Bright and early Thursday morning, February 9, members
of the Heart of Georgia Chapter arrived to cook breakfast
for employees. Breakfast was served at 7:00 a.m. as a
way to say “thank you” to the employees for their support
of the chapter during 2011 and let them know some of the
things planned for 2012. State Coordinator Peggy Grubb
shared information about Educational Loan Fund, Electric
Kids, and the Georgia Power Family House with the group.
Door prizes were given away, and great food, fun and
fellowship was enjoyed prior to everyone starting a SAFE
workday. Many of the employees chose to join or rejoin
during the breakfast.

Jefferson Street set a goal to prepare 200 meals for the
homeless through their annual Lunch for Lunch project.
Employees donated items to help pack lunches for the
homeless through donations to the Crossroads charity.
Fifty-five volunteers came together during their lunch hour
and assembled 730 sandwiches and 690 complete lunch
Bags which also included fruit. They were delivered to
Crossroads. Here’s what a note of thanks said…
“We are truly honored that your team chose
Crossroads to assist. Sorry I did not bring a
larger vehicle but I had no idea there would be
that many. Thank goodness you had a van!!!!
“Thank you” sounds like such a trite thing to say
so I wish I could ‘box up’ the joy you are
bringing to those we serve but there would not
be a box large enough to contain that.”

Heart of Georgia/Macon
The Heart of Georgia/Macon Chapter has been providing
volunteers to set up, decorate, and serve as hosts for one
of the largest events of the year for the Heart Association
for 22 years. Tina Stewart, chapter member, has served
as the chair for the event for 15 years.
Eleven members decorated the City Auditorium, escorted
guests to their tables and cleaned up afterwards at the
Cardiac Café. This year, 1500 people attended and
the event raised $100,000 for the American Heart Assn.
Great job, Heart of Georgia!
