WALK FOR POWER!
Saturday April 25, 2009
Well it is that time again! It is time to put on your walking or running
shoes and get ready for the Country Music Marathon. This year we
would like to invite you to become part of our team and help us raise
money for
YOU HAVE THE POWER!
You Have the Power is a non-profit organization founded in 1993, by
Tennessee’s First Lady Andrea Conte. Our mission is to effect
positive change in crime and justice issues by creating opportunities
for education, collaboration and community participation. Our goal is
to ultimately help reduce and prevent violent crime.
If you choose to join our team, we ask that you secure sponsors who
will support your participation through a monetary tax-deductible gift
to
You Have the Power. These supporters may be your family, friends,
fellow students, church family, pizza delivery guy, well you get my drift
right? The three top fund raisers will receive “special prizes” for their
effort.
There will be an Awards and Celebration Reception hosted by
Andrea Conte the First Lady of Tennessee to thank all participants
(time to be determined in the near future.) So please come join the
fun, get healthy and help us make our community an even better
place to live for all of our residents!

The Second Annual Spay It Forward Tennessee Conference
Comes to Nashville May 15th
– presented by The Tennessee Animal Resource Center -
The Tennessee Animal Resource Center (ARC) will welcome the
Second Annual Spay It Forward Tennessee Conference on Friday,
May 15th to the Cheekwood Botanical Garden & Museum in
Nashville from 8:30AM- 4:30PM.
Studies show that 4 to 6 million pets are euthanized every year due
to overpopulation and homelessness. The Spay It Forward
Tennessee Conference is one step to diminish this alarming
figure. Concerned citizens and those working in the field who want
to help make a difference and learn how to access low cost spay
and neuter services are invited to attend this statewide conference.
This conference is pleased to welcome a variety of experts
including keynote speaker Peter Marsh, the founder of Solutions to
Overpopulation of Pets, as well as Lynne Fidley of Maddie’s Fund,
one of the top Animal Welfare Foundations in the nation. Misty
Fields, Executive Director of ARC, said, “We have a great list of
speakers this year who have a wealth of information and
knowledge that will benefit all attendees, animal welfare groups
and government officials.”
The ARC members will have the opportunity to tap into the
marketing and fund raising assistance to start or expand spay and
neuter programs in their communities after attending the first,
Gotta Spay to Play program. This program also includes training
and implementation tools including a free start-up packet of
letterhead, donation cards and promo posters to be used to
launch your Spay To Play program.
