Landmark Lunch is this week as a great turnout is expected on Friday, May 4 in the Promenade at Piedmont Park. Guests, who are encouraged to wear a hat, at this Piedmont Park Conservancy benefit will enjoy locally-sourced cuisine under a grand tent overlooking the spectacular Legacy Fountain.

Atlanta Falcons fullback and environmental advocate Ovie Mughelli and award winning speaker Ira Blumenthal will provide a lively discussion addressing cross-generational sustainability of green space in today's world.
