Southland Nursing Home in

Peachtree City took six out of ten first-place state

awards at the recent Georgia Nursing Home Activity

Director's Convention. The awards were presented at a

recent banquet in Atlanta.

Two of the awards involved

the Citizen Newspaper. The home won "Best Newspaper

Article" for the Prime Timer article by Janet

McGregor on the 1999 Ms. Southland Beauty Pageant. It

also won "Best Photograph" for a photo taken by

and published in The Citizen. The photo showed Southland

resident Colonel Hugh Quarles with students from J. C.

Booth Middle School.

Other awards included 1999

Volunteer Group of the Year, 1999 Teen Volunteer of the

Year, Special Public Relations Program and Best

Out-of-House Newsletter.

The Special Public

Relations Program was awarded based on information

included in a scrapbook compiled by the home. The

scrapbook highlighted the beauty pageant and the

involvement of the community.
