DESCRIPTION:Join us for a conversation with former CEO of the Los Angeles Times and CNN Tom Johnson and local journalist and columnist for The Macon Melody Ed Grisamore\, as they discuss Johnson’s new book Driven: A Life in Public Service and Journalism from LBJ to CNN. The evening will begin with a 5:30 p.m. reception\, followed by a 6 p.m. talk and book signing. A limited number of books will be available for purchase at the event. \nThis event is co-sponsored by the Historic Macon Foundation\, Peyton Anderson Foundation\, Knight Foundation\, and Mercer University. Registration is encouraged but not required to attend. \nIn his long-awaited memoir\, Johnson\, an award-winning journalist who helped shape 24-hour news\, offers a seasoned and deeply personal perspective on government\, media\, and the future of truth. His journalism career began at the Macon Telegraph and led to service in the Lyndon B. Johnson administration\, where he witnessed painful Vietnam negotiations and informed the president of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s assassination. He later held executive leadership roles at the Los Angeles Times and Ted Turner’s upstart CNN in Atlanta. \nWriting from his perspective “inside the room\,” Johnson provides eyewitness accounts of LBJ’s triumphs and failings as well as an on-the-ground view of the magnificent achievements and significant shortfalls of late twentieth-century American journalism. He is candid about his lifelong struggle with depression and\, in retirement\, has been a leader in mental health\, cancer research\, Alzheimer’s\, and addiction treatment and recovery. With more than eight decades behind him\, Driven is not just Johnson’s look at the past but also a guide to finding balance in an uncertain future.

SUMMARY:Harvest Fest
DESCRIPTION:Join Mercer Panhellenic for Harvest Fest 2025! \nPanhellenic Council will be hosting Harvest Fest on Wednesday\, October 29th from 5:30pm to 7pm in Greek Village. This event is for Macon elementary students and their families to visit Mercer for an afternoon of crafts and fun. Organizations are invited to set up a table with a craft or some other activity for the kids. If you are interested in participating\, register through this link https://givepul.se/a04fvy by Monday\, October 20 at 11:59pm. Panhellenic Community Service will be in contact with you about which of your craft or activity ideas can be used during the event. \nBecause the event is so close to Halloween\, there has been a tradition of serving individually packaged candy at each table. While this is not required\, it certainly makes the event especially memorable for the kids. If you choose to provide candy\, please make sure that there is something for everyone and is allergy-friendly. Let us know if you need any assistance providing candy or an activity for your table. \nIn addition\, have your member dress in a costume or wear a shirt of your organization at the event. We ask that each organization have at least two members working their table during the event. Your members should arrive no later than 5pm to set up your table. \nBecause the event is open to the Macon community\, it is important that we get lots of participation. It is something that the community looks forward to each year\, and we would love to see members of the Mercer community come out and support our local kids and families. \nPlease contact us if you have any questions at mupancommunityservice@gmail.com. There is no pre-registration for families!
