At Macaroni Kid College Park * East Point * Morrow, we take pride in our community and believe in serving those who serve us. We go above and beyond to bring awareness of events, news, and information that affects the residents of South Fulton and North Clayton Counties and are very proud to announce that our efforts have not gone unnoticed. We are not aware of who nominated us but were informed that we received quite a few. For this, we are grateful and humbled as our contenders are some of the extraordinary Atlanta-based publications that we read and love, notably South Fulton Lifestyle, Rolling Out, Voyage ATL, Atlanta Tribune, and Atlanta Black Magazine, among others. We congratulate and wish everyone the best, and are just happy to have even been considered for this honor.
The 9th Annual RICE (Rising In Community Excellence) Awards will be held on Saturday, September 28th, 2019 at 6:00 PM at The Atlanta City Hall (55 Trinity Ave SW, Atlanta, GA 30303).
