Amy’s Place is a beautiful, welcoming historic home in Roswell with a rambling front porch complete with white rockers, at 14 Sloan Street, right off the old park square behind Spiced Right BBQ. There are flowers in the yard and often you’ll find Earl, the resident Schnauzer is in the yard too. Everything about Amy’s Place is relaxed and welcoming, which is what it is meant to be, since the purpose of Amy’s Place is connecting families that are facing dementia through programming, support groups, and just good old-fashioned visits with friends who understand… for a cup of tea and a hug! If someone you love has dementia, or cares for someone with dementia, don’t “go it alone!” Tune in to this broadcast, Call Amy’s Place at 470-349-8349 or check out http://www.caringtogetherinhope.org/

Gene Norman grew up in New York, got his meteorology degree at University of Maryland and moved to Florida to work for NASA.  In 1993, Gene decided what he really wanted to do was be a TV weatherman. So he proceeded to “knock on the doors” of one TV station after another near Houston, where he was living at the time. He ended up doing weekend weather in Beaumont, Texas. In 2000 he moved to Atlanta to do weather for CBS affiliate Channel 46. After 8 years at Channel 46, he left to be a Grandpa and explore other weather-related ventures…

As meteorology and weather prediction has become more sophisticated, weather warnings are more targeted. Although T.V. and radio stations still do “county wide” weather warnings, the  weather stations know the specific parameters of the actual warning area. WeatherCall calls three phone numbers of your choice with a recorded message about the specific warning any time the address of your loved one falls into the actual warning area. They will also follow with a text if the number is text capable. This incredibly accurate service can be had for a nominal fee!! For more details, tune in to this Eugeria broadcast!

Gene also is available to speak about weather safety to Senior Living Communities, Senior Service Centers and other groups….Just give him a ‘WeatherCall’ at 770-376-0497, email him at gene.norman@weathercall.net, or check the website: www.weathercallservices.com
