  1. A change of plans! AWP will be in Waynesboro tomorrow, Nov. 1 but we are delaying our hot dog event until Mike from Duggs Dogs is available. Mike has been a supporter of AWP forever and we just can't do it without him. We'll be around downtown and will be introducing ourselves. If you need to meet with us you can contact Hugh Conlon, our Georgia advocate at hconlon.awp@gmail.com. He'll be happy to meet you.
