Sandy Springs Society Honored by City Council

The Society has given over $2 million to support Sandy Springs-based non-profits and community programs.

Since its inception in 1988, the Sandy Springs Society has given over $2 million to support local non-profits and community programs, including the Mary Hall Freedom House, the Upper Chattahoochee Riverkeepers and the purchase of the city’s parks from Fulton County.

During last week’s City Council meeting, Sandy Springs Mayor Eva Galambos honored the Society for its continued volunteerism and significant financial contributions to the community.

During the reading of the proclamation, the Mayor urged citizens to recognize the contributions of the Society and said, “Thank you for paying for our parks.”
