aybe it’s because Iris is Tennessee’s State Flower. Maybe it’s because they’re just so beautiful. But, for whatever reason, iris is definitely a “perennial” favorite in these parts — and in both senses of the word. We’ll get to enjoy iris to our heart’s content this Wed., April 25th, when the Red Hatters tour Iris City
Gardens in Primm Springs. Iris City Gardens grows over 1000 different plants, including 700 iris, 200 daylilies, 120 peonies and many other perennials. Primm Springs is kind of out there, but we’ll research and find a good place to enjoy lunch. The van will leave the Center at 9 a.m. Van fee is $7.
We are gearing up for our 2018 Katie Reed Golf Classic! This year’s tournament is set for Saturday, May 5, at Henry Horton Golf Course.

county seat of nearby Cannon County. The town is located in the valley of the East Fork of the Stones River, and has a total area of two square miles. Woodbury was recommended to us as a charming place to visit, and a fruitful destination for antiquing. Indeed, a quick
Google search reveals shop names like Iron Pig A ntiques, I’ll Be Back Antiques, and Antiques on the Square. Let’s go investigate Woodbury for ourselves on Tuesday, April 17! There are several lunch options. We’ll choose a good one. The van departs at 9 a.m. Van fee is: $9.

Precision Medicine is health care that is based on each individual. It takes into account factors like where you live, what you do, and your family health history. Precision Medicine seeks to make health care more effective by learning more about the differences that make each of us unique. We will have a FREE lunch with Dr. Peterson on Thursday, April 12.

Dr. Mary Clark is the Director of Multicultural Learning and Experience at Belmont University. The goal of her office, says Dr. Clark, “is to be a true reflection of God’s diverse creation, and work toward that goal by learning, experiencing and appreciating different cultures.” We may not understand it, but we live in a diverse world of many cultures. How rewarding it would be to live our lives, not just accepting our differences, but embracing them, and learning how our unique qualities are indeed something to celebrate. Join Dr. Clark for an enlightening program this April 26th. Please make lunch reservations by Tues., April 24.
