TKR in the Community

Annie Bell Bailey is a longtime resident of the Tucker area. For all her years in Tucker, she has been active in the community, working with DeKalb County to improve the quality of life in her neighborhood.

Because of her longtime efforts, Ms. Bailey’s neighbors asked for a proclamation from Mayor Auman and the City Council. The Mayor issued the proclamation at the City Council’s meeting on August 13.

At 102 years-old, Ms. Bailey is believed to be the oldest resident of Tucker’s Peters Park community. The City is grateful for her service.

On August 2, City staff and councilmembers pooled together their own money, bought food and prepared 200 lunches for children in need. The Smart Lunch Smart Kid program, managed by Action Ministries, is run locally out of Tucker First United Methodist Church and serves children who are food insecure during the summer break from school.
