Watkinsville on the Web

Watkinsville now officially has a website -- visit www.cityofwatkinsville.com.

City Council budgeted for the site last year, and it has been up (pretty quietly) for several months. The goal is to make it easier for citizens, business owners, etc. to find basic information on the city and to download the various forms (permits, ordinances) rather than having to make a trip to the city for information. The site is rather utilitarian, but it certainly works well enough for what we want.

That said, if you have tips for improvement, let me know! As a small government, we can't afford a lot of bells and whistles, but major kudos to City Clerk Julie Sanders for getting this done amid all the other items she has on her plate.

Veterans Memorial BBQ This Sunday

See below for a message from Chuck Williams. These sort of events are one of the things that make small towns like Watkinsville and Oconee County great. Lets all support our troops and honor our veterans by buying a plate of BBQ on Sunday.

Friends: Attached is the info on Sunday’s Veterans’ Day event. Please distribute this information “far & wide”; if possible, get word to your respective pastors so that it can be included in Sunday’s church bulletins and announcements. If additional information is desired, or if you wish to volunteer for food prep, serving duty or cleanup, please contact Tom Little’s right-hand lady, Linda Ferrara; her contact info is below. The main things we can do are get the word out and attend the event this Sunday. This is a great opportunity for Oconee County to show our respect for all Veterans and for the supreme sacrifice paid by Joshua Reeves (and others) in Iraq (and Afghanistan). Thanks a bunch… Chuck Wms.
