ONCE AGAIN, VOLUNTEERS from Deloitte have agreed to come to the Center and tutor us in how to use our phones, tablets and laptops. Maybe you want to learn how to perform a particular task on Facebook, like post a photograph. Or perhaps there is an app you’d like to

THURSDAY, JUNE 9: FONTANEL! We are tremendously grateful to everyone who sponsored, participated in, contributed to and volunteered for the Katie Reed Golf Classic on May 7! We could not have done it without your help. The weather was perfect and the event was a wonderful success. It really turned out to be an enjoyable and exciting day full of fun and fundraising. Together, with your support, we hope to make this an annual event that will bring the community together and raise funds to benefit the programs and
Formerly the home of country music star Barbara Mandrell, Fontanel has become a popular destination with a number of attractions, and we have planned a trip there for Thursday, June 9. For those who want to tour the mansion — a 27,000 square foot log home — we have made reservations for a 10:00 tour. The cost to tour the mansion is $19. For those who do not want
to tour the mansion, there should be plenty for us to get into. We can browse gifts at the Stone House Shoppe, and perhaps stop by Pritchard’s Distillery or Natchez Hills Winery for a tasting. They also have a huge patio with cushioned chairs, and walking trails through woods under a canopy of trees! We’ll all gather together again at 11:30 for lunch at Café Fontanella. Note: When you sign up, please indicate whether you plan to tour the mansion or not. The van will leave the Center at 8:45 a.m. Van fee is The front door of Fontanel Mansion. $9.

Bridges is a program on the Christian Television Network, hosted by Monica Schmelter, and taped at WHTN studios in Mt. Juliet. We have planned to join the studio audience for taping on Tuesday, June 14. The program will follow a teaching format on June 14, and Ms. Schmelter will preach. We will be there to watch the taping of three 30-minute
shows, and have been assured that we’ll have breaks in between to stretch our legs and use the restroom. Plus — they will treat us to a catered lunch! And give us a tour the studio if we want! Note: The deadline for reservations is Friday, June 3. The van will leave the Center at 8:30 a.m. Van fee is $9.
Before he retired, Bill Wolfe produced programs for youth groups. Some of his programs were aired on the radio, while others became part of the “Lifetime Cassette” series and were distributed to hundreds of local churches, military locations and schools for use at youth events. In an attempt to help young folks deal with current issues from people they admired, Bill interviewed celebrities about faith. Among those he spoke with are: Dolly Parton, Neil Diamond, Chicago, Ann-Margaret, Glen Campbell and Kris Kristofferson. On June 23, Bill will tell us about his work — as well as play some of the old interviews for us! This will be a fun and interesting program. Lunch is $4. Please make reservations by Tues., June 21.
Historian and center member, Luke Boyd, has gone and done it again! For our Independence Day celebration, Luke has written a monologue from a “Mystery Founding Father,” that will be delivered — in full period costume — by actor Herb Wallace. Luke will also be our “opening act” for the afternoon. He will fill us in on the history of the U.S.S. Constitution, and then recite “Old Ironsides,” a poem written in tribute to the warship by Oliver Wendell Holmes. We’ll bring barbeque in that day, and the meal will cost $5. Please make lunch reservations by Tues., June 28.
