We were excited to celebrate Mrs. Reta Thomas’ (past president) birthday as well as handle the necessary business at a beautiful put together venue (shout out to our current President for a wonderful committee meeting!)

Mrs. Brandie Garner honored her committee meeting by giving out soft sided coolers and beach mats!!!!

The registration and hotel information for the 2021 GAHRA Summer Maintenance Workshop that will be held in Macon, Ga. on  July 13-15, 2021 is now posted on the GAHRA website.  Please take advantage of the early bird registration and save which ends June 18, 2021.  The hotel cutoff date is June 18, 2021 and if you need a room please call and reserve it by June 18, 2021 in order to make sure you have a room upon arrival.  The training will be valuable to all attendees as well as their Authorities.  Hope to see you there.

The Officers of the Georgia Association of Housing and Redevelopment Authorities (GAHRA) have deemed that the risk of our meetings for 2020 would far outweigh the benefits at this time.
