The first local

action from last month's government retreat in Athens is taking place

next week.

Coweta governmental

officials announced this week the staging of the first Coweta County Elected

Officials breakfast. The meeting is set for Tuesday at the Coweta County

Fairgrounds on Pine Road.

During the

retreat in Athens, Coweta County School Board member Brian Roy offered

to help organize the breakfast.

Roy said the

breakfast - which he hopes to be the first of many such quarterly meetings

- is meant to provide local officials a chance to continue the cooperative

spirit fostered at the recent retreat.

The breakfast

is open to all elected officials representing Coweta County or any of

its entities, including state and federal elected officials that represent

our County.

"In the

past, officials county-wide used to hold events like this occasionally,

just as a time to get together and break bread and get to know one another

personally," said Roy. "The purpose of this breakfast is the

same - it's an opportunity to gather for a friendly time of fellowship

and promote communication between the different entities."

Roy said the

breakfast won't have a formal agenda. "It's just a time to continue

informal discussions about the issues that affect all of us and, most

of all, to continue developing the good working relationships we began

in Athens. It's good for us and good for all of our constituents that

we have that kind of cooperative relationship."

Two Coweta

County companies - Buffalo Rock and the Excel Corporation - are sponsoring

the first breakfast.
