DeKalb County Commissioner Steve Bradshaw will present a proclamation tomorrow during the Board of Commissioners’ meeting to honor Hispanic Heritage Month. Hispanic Heritage Month, beginning Sept. 15, 2022, traditionally recognizes those whose ancestors came from Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean, and Central and South America.

In partnership with the DeKalb County Police Department, the DeKalb County Police Athletic League is hosting its Inaugural PAL Pumpkin 5k Run/Walk on October 22, 2022, at 4 p.m. On race day, there will be activities for the whole family. Registration for the race is $35.

DeKalb County Commissioner Steve Bradshaw was recognized Sept. 9 for his allocations totaling $100,000 to the Wade Walker YMCA, which named a food pantry in his honor. “I am a strong supporter of the work of the YMCAs in our communities,” Commissioner Bradshaw said. “That is why I allocated funds to both the Wade Walker YMCA in Stone Mountain and the Decatur YMCA. The naming of the food pantry in my honor is not anything that I sought or expected. Therefore, I am deeply humbled and honored by this recognition.”
