We have an exciting new Community Center on Frederick Street in Dalton, Georgia! I sat in a crowd of several hundred folks today for the dedication of the facility, tears welling in my eyes for the strength of a community coming together with a purpose. No better day than Martin Luther King Jr. Day, 2012 to show what the collaboration of city, county and community can accomplish.
The many men and women who made the old center a focal part of east Dalton and those who made the new vision of service to the whole of the city and county a reality were honored today. And they were out en force, smiling, swelling with pride for a dream come true.

This beautiful center will serve kids, families, seniors, clubs, EVERYONE. If you havent seen it, I urge you to visit it soon, take a walk around the indoor walking track, shoot some hoops, shake some hands and say hello to Tom Pinson!
