All About Brownsville

& Haywood County

August 27, 2009

Volume 5, Issue 32

This morning is the second annual Breakfast for Babies at the Hibachi Restaurant on Dupree. Go by and pick up a bite and tip your "celebrity" waiter/waitress BIG! All tips and a portion of the breakfast proceeds will go to the March of Dimes. 

If you are a diabetic, be sure and check out Journey for Control. This is a diabetic education event and it's free. It starts at 5:30 Monday, in the cafeteria at Haywood Park Community Hospital.

Are you a golfer? The INSOUTH Bank Carl Perkins Center Benefit tournament will be held Thursday, September 10 at the Brownsville Country Club. All proceeds will benefit the center. Here is more details.

Labor Day is almost upon us and many are looking forward to one last summer bash. The HHS Baseball Booster want you to include Boston Butts in your celebration. Monday is the last day to purchase an 8 lb. butt ($25) and pick it up the following Thursday - just in time for Labor Day. 

Many of you will remember January 1, 2001, when Brownsville native Trooper John Gregory Mann was struck and killed by a vehicle during a foot pursuit of a suspected carjacker in Nashville, Tenn. Woodlawn Baptist Church is planning a memorial concert and downhome picnic to remember Mann. The concert will feature his mother, Lollie Lee Mann, and is planned for Friday, September 4.

If you want to brush up on your job hunting skills or just want to polish up the resume a little, Insouth Bank and Bethel University are teaming up to present a "How to Write a Resume" class September 9. The event is free, but RSVP is required.

Don’t forget the Steak & Burger Dinner Saturday night. Former HHS star basketball player Jarvis Varnado will be the guest speaker.

More details about all the things I've mentioned today can be found below. Have a great weekend and remember to send me your events!
