Wow! Lucy has been adopted.
Thank you. I know she has found a good home. For those of you who were not
able to attend “Music for a Spring Afternoon” last Sunday, you missed a
marvelous performance. Drs. David and Pam Dennis filled the sanctuary of
First Presbyterian Church with some very powerful melodies. They are such a
talented couple and I know the Wednesday Morning Musicale is so glad to have
them as members. And I am glad to have heard them perform. It was perfect
music for a spring afternoon. Speaking of spring, I don’t mind
the rain and we certainly needed some spring showers, but my hostas could
have done without the shredding provided Tuesday night during the hail storm.
Of course, there are many who would have been happy for the storms this month
to have only damaged their flowers. I was glad to know that the latest
weather events did not claim any lives. Maybe May will be a little less
threatening. |

A&B Grand Opening Join
A&B Printing for its Grand Opening at 10 a.m., Wednesday, May 3 at its
new location, 50 South Washington. A&B is really three stores in one.
Along with meeting all your printing needs, it is an appliance center and a
UPS shipping store. A&B is also the only place in town, that I know of,
where you can get color copies. Mr. Doyle Burroughs is a familiar face to
many and has been in the printing business for many years. Drop in and
welcome him back to the court square and meet Kristy and Matt while you’re
there. |

Spring Fashion Show and
Luncheon Grab a
blanket and join All About You and Pattycake Corner for a Spring Fashion Show
and Luncheon on the lawn of Lilies Bed and Breakfast, 508 West Main Street,
at 11 a.m., Saturday, May 6. Tickets are $10 for adults and $6 for children
12 and under. A box lunch is included in your ticket price. Tickets are
available at Vintage, 429 West Main St., or call 731-772-9381. Tickets must
be purchased by May 2. All proceeds benefit the Haywood County Humane
Society. Yard Sale to benefit Mexico
Missions First
Presbyterian Church will hold its annual church-wide yard sale Saturday, May
6, beginning at 7 a.m., at 119 West College St. Many items will be available
— large, small and in between. All proceeds will benefit Mexico missions. God’s Man in Texas God’s Man
in Texas is a play about the changing of ministers in the nation’s largest
Southern Baptist Church. It is a work of fiction, but rooted in the truth
that the succession of a leader of an organization – especially a mega church
– rarely goes smoothly. With amiable humor and great respect, the play brings
to light issues common to any corporate or religious environment – power
struggles, different styles of leadership and the reluctance to retire. To
learn how to get your tickets and more about this play presented by the
Brownsville Haywood County Arts Council on Saturday evening, May 6, click here. Check out
the Community Calendar for other
fun things to do and how to

Shellabarger and Sullivan
Honored Congratulations
to local Extension Agents Tiffany Shellabarger and Tracey Sullivan. Each was
recently recognized for outstanding work in their respective fields. Epsilon
Sigma Phi Early Career (ESP) honored Shellabarger for her youth financial
planning programs. The program, “On My Own,” is a real-world simulation that
teaches money management. Shellabarger is the county’s 4-H leader and
conducts the financial planning program each year. The Tennessee Association
of Agricultural Agents and Specialist (TAAAS) honored Sullivan for her
contributions as the county’s agriculture agent. Sullivan also received
recognition for her fact sheet, “Soybean Rust,” which was declared a state
winner for Extension communications.
A Special Evening “On the
Town” The 2006
“On the Town” fundraiser for the YMCA is well underway. One event is already
sold out and others will be soon. Get your ticket to one or more of these
special evenings “on the town.” Call the YMCA, 772-9748, and make
reservations, now. The first event is a gourmet dinner on May 13, followed by
a Hatchie Bottom supper, Hawaiian luau, a 50s-style evening, afternoon tea
and much more. Your entire ticket cost goes to the local “Y,” so make plans
to enjoy these very special events and support your Brownsville YMCA. The
welcome mat will be out all over town! Save those Toilet Paper Rolls Ever
wonder what to do with those empty toilet paper and paper towel rolls? Well,
wonder no more. The Elma Ross Public Library is collecting craft supplies for
its summer reading program and what is needed most are empty toilet paper or
paper towel rolls. Summer reading program sign-ups will start soon, so keep
an eye out for more information from your child’s school or ask about the
program when you take the empty rolls by the library. This year’s theme is
“Jungle Tales.” Local Merchants offering
Special Deals Just in time for Teacher
Appreciation, Mother’s Day and Graduation, local retailers have put together
a special booklet filled with promotions for May. It seems we all, at some
time or another, have a little problem choosing gifts. These merchants are
helping take some of the guesswork out of gift-giving by offering special
prices and coupons (some coupons worth up to 50% off) and we also get to take
advantage of their expert advice when we visit their stores. Look here for participating
retailers
and then go by to get your free booklet. There is no reason why we shouldn’t
“shop at home” when we have such great selection and service. Pet Spotlight: Roscoe is
a “lucky dog.” He was recently rescued from the street and has been living
with his new poodle friends, Prissy and Egor. But there’s just not enough
room for Roscoe to live here, too. Calvin has spent several months at the
shelter and is now looking for a more permanent residence. [Learn More] Check out
