Ann Logan, chairperson of the Friends of WCAC board, said, “We are honored to host the second annual ‘Pawsome Gala’.

Shelter director Ondrea Johnson, who shares Logan’s excitement, said, “The new shelter will have modern, state-of-the-art features for the animals in our care and will allow us to expand existing public programs like low-cost spay-neuter clinics.” She added, “The support of Friends of WCAC is vital to the success of our shelter-they put the immediate needs of our animals first, and we are grateful for their vision and support as we enter this period of growth.”
In addition to Mars Petcare, other sponsors include: Tito’s Vodka; F&M Bank; Oversite; 906 Studios; and Battleground Animal Hospital. “A variety of sponsor packages are still available,” Johnson reported, adding “and we are looking for auction items as well.” If your business is interested in participating, contact Ondrea Johnson at 615-790-5590 or Lacie Simonton at LSimonton@parkescompanies.com.

2020 Franktown Open Hearts Annual Dinner
2020-09-28 19:00 - 20:00 | Virtual
FRANKTOWN OPEN HEARTS TO HOST “WE’RE IN THIS TOGETHER” VIRTUAL FUNDRAISING DINNER ON SEPTEMBER 28, 2020 FROM 7:00- 8 PM CST
ONLINE SILENT AUCTION GOES LIVE ON SEPTEMBER 8, 2020
Franktown Open Hearts “We’re In This Together” Annual Fundraising Dinner goes virtual. Franktown serves approximately 170 school-age children, living in government-subsidized or low-income housing. They provide a nutritious meal, educational programming, and character-building activities to school-age children weekday afternoons/evenings during the school year; weekdays during the summer months; along with vocational training and experiences on Saturdays throughout the year. Since COVID-19 set in, Franktown has seen a tremendous increase in need – especially with food! We typically serve over 10,000 meals to our children each year.
When schools closed in March, Franktown stepped in to fill that gap, and served over 5,000 meals in that nine-week period alone! And during this time that demand was at an all-time high, Franktown experienced a decrease in budgeted income – including loss of individual, corporate, and church support.
Tuesday, September 29, 2020 7:00 pm – 8:00 pm CST . Silent Auction goes LIVE! on Tuesday, September 8, 2020.
ABOUT FRANKTOWN OPEN HEARTS
Founded in 2005, Franktown Open Hearts was originally established to serve children in the inner-city communities of Franklin, TN. Because Franklin and Williamson County are recognized as one of the most affluent areas in the state of Tennessee, most people don’t even realize public housing developments exist in this area. This results in the residents, and particularly the youth, being underserved with regards to social and academic resources.
Franktown Open Hearts provides a nutritious meal, educational programming, and character-building activities to school-age children weekday afternoons/evenings during the school year; weekdays during the summer months; along with vocational training and experiences on Saturdays throughout the year.

DO YOU WANT TO ATTEND THE WEEKEND FOR FREE?
HAVE YOU EVER RUN A HALF MARATHON or 5K?
ARE YOU A RUNNER? (No… You can walk the races too)…

For the last 5+ years Amy has hosted a few weeks of BAREFOOT REPUBLIC CAMP at her farm. It’s a summer camp program that focuses on cultivating Christ-centered relationships between individuals and families from diverse racial, cultural, and socioeconomic backgrounds. Every year Amy hosts BAREFOOT AT THE FARM and we want more and more students to be able to attend, who otherwise couldn’t. SOOOOOO… let’s do this together!
Last year one of Amy’s Team members, Derek, took part in a training program and ran a Half Marathon (prior to that he’d only run/walked some very slow 5ks) and with the help of several Friends-Of-Amy (FOA) members was able to raise over $10,000 toward the Barefoot Republic Scholarship fund – making it possible for over 40 kids to attend BAREFOOT AT THE FARM – who might otherwise not been able.
This year we want to do even more… So… we’ve decided to make a very special offer. Anyone who wants to participate in the Rock-N-Roll Music City Marathon with our team and can raise a minimum of $1,500 will get a FREE weekend pass.
And the best part is you can do the race anywhere, so even if you can’t make it to Nashville to participate with the team, you can do it in your own hometown.
If you are interested please email derek@themwsgroup.com – he will provide you with more details and will explain how this will work.
Fundraising / Training will begin November 1st and we will run on Saturday, April 25th.
Amy will not be able to do the run with us this year, but she is looking forward to cheering on all participants.
The minimum distance for participation on the team will be a 5K (3.1 miles)… Derek will run the half marathon here in Nashville (13.1 miles)… of course marathoners can do the full 26.2 mile course… but we may look at you like you’re a little crazy!
Again… email derek@themwsgroup.com to be added to the team.
ALL Persons who successfully complete their fundraising and a race, whether here in Nashville or “virtually” in their hometown will receive an autographed TEAM AMY / RUN BAREFOOT MEDAL (in addition to their TENNESSEE WEEKEND PASS FOR FREE.

One of Nashville’s hottest alt-country/roots rock bands, Flying Buffaloes, are preparing to descend on Nolensville, TN in celebration of the one-year anniversary of their critically-acclaimed debut album, LOADED & ROLLIN’. The band will deliver their signature high-voltage live performance set at Wheeler’s Raid Distillery (2007 Johnson Industrial Park Bldg. C) on November 21 at 7:00 p.m. Tickets for this event are $15.
Hot off of a performance-packed 2019 and the release of their debut LP, Loaded & Rollin’, Flying Buffaloes continue gaining momentum with their nostalgic, rock-leaning Alt-Country sound and high-energy live shows. Based in East Nashville, TN, the band has been steadily touring the US with headlining dates throughout the midwest as well as supporting renowned rock veterans, Drivin’ N Cryin,’ and acclaimed red dirt country artist, Wade Bowen across the south. Flying Buffaloes staked their claim as an Americana act on the rise at their 2019 AMERICANAFEST showcase performance. The positive reception of Loaded & Rollin’ in music press outlets like Pop Matters and Glide Magazine and mainstream radio play on stations including Nashville’s Lightning 100 and Chicago’s Big 95.5 bode well for the future of the band.

About Franklin Vineyard
Everyone’s heart is on a journey, a journey to reconnect with your life purpose. We’ve found that when we’re off track and apart from God’s best for us, our lives can easily become disenchanted. A disenchanted life is who God is after to touch and restore.
Our mission at the Franklin Vineyard is to continue the works of Jesus in touching disenchanted hearts. We want to “do the stuff” we see Jesus doing in the Bible in our world here, near and far away. At the Vineyard, you’ll find an authentic, welcoming crowd, a casual atmosphere, and a meaningful and practical experience.
