Update: April 7, 2011
Good afternoon MJ: Kudos to all involved in last Saturday's Ava's Run for a Reason. Over 1400 runners/walkers signed up to spend a beautiful Spring morning helping make the dreams of a little girl a reality; with proceeds from the event going to help fund a splash park at the Charlie Daniels Park. A first class endeavor like the Splash Park we envision will cost about $250k or more. Want to help? Contact Mrs Jennifer Hamblin at 773-6237, or any of the staff at Charlie Daniels Park, 758-6552. Looking for a different form of recreation? Check out MJ's annual Spring Fashion Show, this Saturday, starting at 2:00 p.m. Our own highly talented and quite debonaire Mr. Rocky Lee, Assistant Director of Parks and Rec, will join nearly 130 models of all ages and gender on the runway. It promises to be a fantastic day; hope to see you there. Here's a pitch for my team. The United States Military Academy at West Point Glee Club will perform a free concert this Saturday at Lipscomb University's Collins Auditorium, starting at 1500 (that's 3:00 p.m for everyone else). Admission tickets (again, free) can be secured at: marilyn.smith@lipscomb.edu or call Marilyn at 966-5929. Come hear some great music and find out about life at the Academy. Also, don't forget we will celebrate Armed Forces Day on Saturday, 21 May, at Charlie Daniels Park. The day before, 20 May, also sees MJ's Relay for Life at CD Park, so there's plenty of upcoming events for the entire family. Thanks to citizens and staff for their outstanding cleanup efforts after Monday's storm. While there was some damage, particularly around the Moreland Farms area, for the most part we were blessed. So many trees were damaged, it will take some time for the chipper team to return to their regular cycle. Check out the chipper schedule on the city's web page for more info. Or you can register to receive emailed updates as to the Chipper's location / progress around the city. On a final note, our thanks goes to Mr. and Mrs. Tom Needham, of Needham's Nursery on Lebanon Rd, for their kind donation of shrubs for City Hall. Tom has always been a generous patron to Mt. Juliet, and is the proud sponsor or the annual MJ Fireworks Festival. Thanks Tom for all you do. Take care MJ and talk with you later. R. Robertson
