• Northern Ridge District names September Eagle Scouts (appenmedia.com) — Alpharetta readers can celebrate several new Eagle Scouts whose September projects directly improved local schools, churches, and nonprofits, including upgrades at Alpharetta High School and work at Alpharetta Presbyterian and Alpharetta Methodist. From building trails and picnic tables to creating animal shelters and a robotics recharge cart, these Scouts' efforts support everyday life across Alpharetta, Johns Creek, Roswell, and Milton.
• Legion post member seeks veterans to test VA claims course (appenmedia.com) — Alpharetta veterans can sign up now to help test a new four-session course at American Legion Post 201 that walks participants step-by-step through filing and organizing VA disability claims. The free pilot, limited to 10 volunteers with a waitlist, will meet on Saturdays in October and November at the Wills Road post ballroom and aims to reduce delays by improving documentation.
• Man arrested for threatening massacre at Chabad synagogue (jfeed.com) — Alpharetta police recently arrested a man accused of posting violent threats demanding a massacre at a Chabad synagogue and targeting the U.S. defense secretary's family. Prosecutors say he faces multiple state terror-related charges plus a federal interstate-threat count, while Jewish security groups stress there's no specific ongoing threat but urge local institutions to remain vigilant.
