Recipe of the Week: Baked Dove United Way kicked off its 2007-08 campaign
last Friday. Over 50 people attended the event held at the new Carl Perkins
Center on Boyd Avenue. While enjoying a delicious breakfast provided by
Insouth Bank, and touring the new advocacy center, supporters unveiled this
year’s campaign goal — $178, 400. Haywood County raised over $200,000 during
the last campaign and with the enthusiasm shown at Friday’s event, we are no
doubt ready for another successful year. September 16-22 has been designated as
Imagination Library Week in Tennessee and the Haywood County Reading Railroad
will kick-off its Fall Enrollment Campaign at this Saturday’s Haywood
Movement. Reading Railroad volunteers will present “StoryTime on the
Courthouse Lawn” beginning at 10 a.m., for kids to come and enjoy a story or
two. They will also be selling books for $2 and signing up children under 5
years of age to receive their free book each month. There are still approx.
400 children in our county who are eligible but aren’t signed-up. Learn more about Reading
Railroad and Imagination Library Week. Don’t forget Haywood Movement Saturday. This
is a family event offering an area for exercise (walking, biking, skating)
and local organizations and businesses will be set-up offering everything
from baked goods to designer clothing. Hatchie Fall Fest t-shirts will be for
