We found a home where my daughter loves her school, my wife and I love our church, and my family loves visiting with friends or eating downtown. Of course, I think Georgia Southern University contributes a great deal to making Statesboro a special place. With the artistic and intellectual contribution of our faculty, there is an abundance of interesting performances, lectures, displays, and discussions. You also have the Performing Arts Center, Center for Wildlife Education, the Botanic Gardens, Georgia Southern Museum, and all the top-notch athletic events here because of Georgia Southern – inviting tens of thousands of visitors to Statesboro.” /$9(1'(5 $662&,$7(6 ,1& * ( 1 ( 5 $ &21 7 5 $ & 725 6 &216758&7,21 0$1$*(56 ³%XLOGLQJ D 7UDGLWLRQ RI ([FHOOHQFH VLQFH ´ www.lavenderandassociates.com Ph: 912-489-4677 ~ Fx: 912-764-4226 STATESBORO, GEORGI A
