The Theme for the 34th Annual Christmas Parade will be "Keeping the Family Close At Hand During These Tough Times." The Grand Marshall will be Mr. Charles Dowdell. Mr. Dowdell, became a recreation leader for the City of College Park at the Brady Recreation Center in 1964 and retired as its Recreation Director in 1977 with 32 years of service. His years at South Fulton High School helped to mold him into a responsible, dedicated, trustworthy, dependable, and reliable citizen. His success in helping children realize their potential and encouraging them to be all that they can be, will be forever remembered. For the past six years one of his on-going projects has been bringing displaced families back to the community for the College Park reunions. Charles also provides transportation for seniors to the grocery store, to pay their bills, to medical appointments and to places of entertainment. He has been, and is still today, a valuable asset to the College Park Community.
