Franklin to spread holiday cheer, help fete Roy Barnes
November 25, 2009 at 1:53 pm by Thomas Wheatley in NewsChristmas time is the right time to think about those less fortunate in the world. Chief among them: Roy Barnes, the former Georgia governor who’s set his sights on returning to office in 2011.
On Monday, Dec. 14, Mayor Shirley Franklin, Andrew and Carolyn Young and John and Nancy Williams will honor Barnes at fundraiser at TWELVE Atlantic Station. Minimum contribution is $250. If you’re in the giving mood and want to shake hands before the celebration, you can become a sponsor starting at the low, low price of $1,000.
The list of dignitaries and bold-faced names include former U.S. Congressman and Atlanta attorney Buddy Darden, Gwinnett County developer Wayne Mason, REM manager and Athens attorney Bertis Downs, DeKalb County Commissioners Lee May and Connie Stokes and many other city and metro Atlanta bigwigs.
Should be a good time! The festive invitation is pasted after the jump.

I don’t trust any Atlanta political money shaker party that’s not hosted by Tom Houck. My gossip meter would fall asleep.
