On April 30, a team of weekend warriors helped improve the lives of local aging veterans by repairing and sprucing up three veterans homes in North Fulton. The project was led by a team from Leadership North Fulton (LNF), a program of the Greater North Fulton Chamber of Commerce. 
 
The LNF team raised more than $5,500 through sponsorships and enlisted 60 volunteers to complete improvementsincluding yard work, repairs and paintingat the homes of veterans who were identified by Senior Services North Fulton. Funds that remained after the three projects were completed will be donated to support future renovations to other veterans homes.
 
Our Warrior Weekend was a wonderful experience. It was inspiring to see so many volunteers come out to give back to those who have served our country, said an LNF team member. This is what Leadership North Fulton is all aboutbuilding relationships and taking civic responsibility while we support and celebrate all the members of our community.
 
The LNF team who led the Warrior Weekend project included Carol Swan, HomeStretch; Lauren Lambiase, Georgia Power; Paul Cantrell, Insight Wealth Advisors; Olivia Ibrahim, Progress Partners; Roger Bauer, Kaiser Permanente and Christine Ward City of Roswell.
 
Sponsors of the project included Kaiser Permanente, Comcast, Staff Zone, Renasant Bank, Arrow Lenovo, Bank of North Georgia, Jackson Healthcare, Home Depot, Genoa Construction, Top Job Staffing, Fickle Pickle, Atlanta Bread Company, Costco, Russell Landscaping, Lucky's Burger and Brew, and Wender and Roberts Pharmacy.
