Good morning, Duluth!

I apologize for not posting an article yesterday. Amazon Web Services was down all day, which greatly impacted Patch and other parts of the internet. While I have your attention, I would like to let all of you know that I will not be continuing my writings after the new year. I have put a lot of thought into this decision, as I really love my community and informing you all of what is happening. I will write more on my last day at Patch to show my appreciation to you all.

Now, Let's get you started this Thursday with everything you need to know going on today in Duluth!

First, today's weather:

Clouds and sunshine. High: 55 Low: 43.

Here are the top stories today in Duluth:

  1. Jackson EMC Foundation board of directors awarded $74,705 in grants during its November meeting, which included around $30,000 to several agencies that serve Gwinnett County. The Jackson EMC Foundation grants are all made possible by the 204,299 participating cooperative members who have their monthly electric bills rounded to the next dollar amount through the Operation Round Up program.

  2. Georgia Gwinnett College had its commencement ceremony this week. The local college graduated 600 students. (Press Release Desk )
  3. Local deputies are currently searching for more victims of the allegedly fake Gwinnett County dentist. Gwinnett County deputies executed a search warrant at the man's home in Snellville and found evidence that he was conducting dental procedures without credentials.(FOX 5 Atlanta)
  4. Gwinnett police have collected hundreds of donated items for the siblings of the 8-year-old girl who was killed by her mother. Last month, Brittany Hall reported her daughter Amari missing. Just a few days later, police recovered Amari's body and charged her mother and her mother's partner, Celeste Owens, with the girl's murder. (WSB Atlanta)
  5. Gwinnett County is going to host a huge IT hiring event Saturday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on the second floor of the Gwinnett Justice and Administration Center, 75 Langley Drive in Lawrenceville. ( The Atlanta Journal Constitution)
