& Haywood County

February 4, 2011 Volume 7, Issue 5

First, let me apologize for being a day late. This has been an extremely long week, but obviously not long enough for me to get everything done on time. Luckily, you can access the Community Calendar anytime to see what's happening.

I hope you're checking the AAB Blog on a regular basis, too. I've posted several stories there this week.

Items of interest such as:

* Solar Farm Receives Enviromental Approval

* Friends of the Library Annual Meeting Announced

* Haywood's Got Talent Auditions set for March 22

* Carl Perkins Center "Ladies Night Out"

* The 2011 WestStar members from Haywood County

* BPD's Super Bowl Tips

* Brownsville Baptist Life Action Revival Summit

I'm excited to announce that Habitat for Humanity and Hope for Haywood Disaster Recovery Services is teaming up to present a Spring Tour of Homes. The date is Sunday, May 1. More details as time gets closer ... but go ahead and mark your calendar now.

Next Friday is the deadline to order those chocolate-covered strawberries from the Leadership Haywood County Class. Cost is $15. Details are below.

Have you been out to the West Tennessee Delta Heritage Center to see "Bagels and Barbeque: The Jewish Experience in Tennessee"?
