All About Brownsville - September 3, 2009

& Haywood County

September 9, 2009

Volume 5, Issue 33

Tomorrow begins a long holiday weekend. Remember that the Brownsville Police Department and Haywood County Sheriff’s Department will be conducting Sobriety Checkpoints and saturations all weekend. They will not only be checking for DUI, but seat belt use and other violations, too. Be safe and whatever you do, if you’re going to drink – designate a driver. On August 21, BPD also began implementing the ‘Drunk Driving. Over the Limit. Under Arrest’ initiative. Learn more …

It is so hard for me to believe it’s September already. The holidays will be here before we know it. The Brownsville Business Association is making plans for this year’s Holiday in Haywood and the Rescue Squad is working on the Christmas Parade. Before that we have Golf Tournaments, Run/Walks, Car Shows, Hatchie Fall Fest, Trick or Treat with Me, and lots of other exciting events. (Don’t forget to e-mail me your events!) It’s going to be busy, but lots of fun.

Do you have any suggestions, comments or ideas about upcoming events? Leave your thoughts on the AAB Blog and contact me if you are interested in volunteering. In my opinion, there is no better way to really learn about your community than through volunteering, plus you get to meet and work with lots of cool people.

If you check the Blog site regularly, you already know about the adopt-a-teacher program. If you haven’t, please go there and learn how you can help encourage a local teacher.

Enjoy a safe and happy Labor Day weekend!!!
