at 848 Peachtree Street, N.E. and meet Todd Sumney, VP of

Design" presented by David E. Flanner. Dave attended
the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School of Business
and has a range of experience that allows him to present for
us a high level discussion on effective market positioning,
revenue optimization, operating efficiencies and better Human
Capital ROI. If you’re an entrepreneur or start-up company,
you’ll gain insight into building the infrastructure
necessary to reach and sustain maximum profitability. If you’re
a medium-sized business or corporate executive, you will learn
what you need to know to grow your business to the next level.
You will walk away with a better understanding of how to leverage
your strengths and strengthen your weaknesses. Dave will stick
around for the mix and mingle portion of our event so you
can ask specific questions related to your business.

Rocks @ "Baker Street Park"
FRI, JULY 19 5:30p
This Friday night the FREE concerts continue at Baker Street
Park, adjacent to Centennial Olympic Park!
WHAT NOT TO BRING - Please leave the following items at home
because they won't be allowed in the park: pets, coolers,
alcohol, bikes, backpacks, food, chairs, blankets and professional
photographic equipment.
To get to Downtown Rocks, take MARTA to the Civic Center Station,
go south two blocks on West Peachtree Place and left on Centennial
Olympic Park Drive. It's off of Simpson Street, on the right.
Look for all the people. When you see a huge bunch of people
standing around downtown Atlanta it's either a) the Olympics
or b) this thing. And the Olympics are real over. Make sure
to leave all pets, booze, bikes, chairs, backpacks, food,
cameras and coolers at home. In other words, you can't munch
on a pack full of snacks and sip an ice cold martini whilst
taking a picture of Fido riding a bike.

First
Thursdays - downtownATL Arts Walk - THU, AUG 1 5p
This is the perfect time to experience art inside and out.
This month we invite you to stroll with us through magnificent
buildings and streets to enjoy the beauty of our city and
the art created by our neighbors. Over the past months
First Thursdays has continued to grow with new programs and
additional venues so that art lovers can view the arts, tour
the historic districts of downtown and enjoy various discounts
at downtown restaurants.
Come take a walk with us the First Thursday of each month,
from 5-9 p.m.
With
its growth, First Thursdays has become more than just an arts
walk. It is an event where singles can meet, business
people can unwind, and couples can enjoy the beauty of downtown’s
landscape. And all these are accomplished while taking
in the culture that the arts offer. To put it simply,
no two trips could ever be the same. Validated parking is
available at the SunTrust Plaza Galleries and the APEX museum,
call museums for details.
