Ford said she hopes High Point residents learned more about their city and received inspiration for community engagement during the annual meeting.
SANDY SPRINGS, Ga. — Good schools, informed citizens and civic pride can trace their origins to community gatherings like the April 10 High Point Civic Association Annual Meeting. Held in the cafeteria of High Point Elementary School on Greenland Road, state legislators, city officials, school principals and around 70 members of the High Point Civic Association met to hear about local developments affecting their day-to-day lives. The footprint of the High Point neighborhood extends north from the city limits with Atlanta to I-285. The roughly four-
square-mile neighborhood also stretches west from the border with DeKalb County to Roswell Road. Mary Ford, the president of the High Point Civic Association, said the 4,000home organization supports its residents by advocating to city officials, protecting home values and creating community. The nonprofit association engages with other organizations, like The Daffodil Project and Fulton County Schools. Andrea Videlefsky, founder of The Daffodil Project, attended the meeting and received an award from the civic association, commemorating her nonprofit’s plantings around the neighborhood.
