BIRTHDAY POTLUCK FEB. 19: A TRIBUTE TO BLACK HISTORY WITH SPECIAL PERFORMANCE OF SOJOURNER TRUTH SPEECH We have a special program lined up for February’s Birthday Potluck, honoring Black History in song and speech. If you have heard Marie Ogilvie sing, you already know you’ll be enriched by the experience. If you haven’t, all the more reason to be here when Marie’s voice fills the room with old Negro spirituals. We will also bear witness to a performance of a speech originally given in 1851 Sojourner Truth by Sojourner Truth, a former slave who became an activist for civil and women’s rights. The speech came to be known as “Ain’t I A Woman,” and will be delivered by Kathryn Dillard, a retired math teacher and school principal from Nashville. Weather permitting, one of the Center’s most beloved members, Clara Bell Parrish, will close the program with a brief reading. This will be a beautiful event. Lunch is at 11:30 and the program begins at noon. The Center provides the main course. Please bring a side dish.
MONDAY, FEB. 10: T.J. MAXX HOMEGOODS & BUCA DI BEPPO T.J. Maxx HomeGoods is known as a great place to find a large variety of items - not to mention bargains - for the home. Meanwhile, Buca di Beppo Italian Restaurant is known to be a lot of fun with a group. (Everyone orders their favorite entrée, and then shares with everybody else.) We are going to combine the two on Monday, Feb. 10. We’ll head to the HomeGoods store in Brentwood first, and then to Buca di Beppo in Cool Springs after shopping. The van leaves the Center at 9:45. Van fee is $5. Please sign up. (Raindate: Mon., Feb. 17.)
The Red Hatters are planning a Kitchen Shower for the Center Feb. 26. Members are asked to bring any kitchen supplies they feel could be used at the Center. Afterwards the group will travel to Chapel Hill to visit a couple of interesting stores, tour the area where the Nathan Bedford Forrest boyhood home is being restored, then have lunch at Henry Horton State Park Restaurant. Come at 9:30 to give donations, then leave the Center at 10:00 am, Van fee is $5.
