Gainesville City Councilman George Wangemann walks up to a house in the Cresswind at Lake Lanier subdivision as part of an ongoing three-year effort to show residents of Gainesville that he cares. Wangemann was on house number 8,776 Thursday in a door-to-door campaign to knock on every house, apartment and town house in the city. He brings gifts and goodies for each resident he speaks to, including an invitation to attend city council meetings, a letter of appreciation, a book on U.S. history and a pass to the Frances Meadows Aquatic Center.
