A busy December ahead....

Greetings all!
I just wanted to stop by here and say Hi! and to remind you to please check out Brentwood Home Page -- and share it with your friends. It's been an amazing three-month run already, with steady readership and advertising growth. Can't wait to see where we'll be in another three months, year, and onward.
We have posted a Holiday wrap of events that we'll be adding to as we get them. Please be sure to bookmark it and to check back often for new additions. As well, the city's Morning with Santa, annual tree lighting and luminaria display are just ahead.
Fires have destroyed three Brentwood homes in as many months. Today we offer fire-prevention tips from Asst. Fire Chief Brian Goss. And coming up later this week, exclusive interviews with Cal Turner, former CEO of Dollar General and owner of the farm we all claim as our own, and Jo Dee Messina who is giving TWO free benefit concerts in Brentwood this Saturday.
Brentwood High didn't make it to the state finals in football, but we still salute them, as well as Brentwood Academy for their great runs toward the titles this year.
Read stories on the above, plus much, much more at www.brentwoodhomepage.com.
Oh, and are you a BHP Facebook fan yet? Our goal is 1000 by the New Year. If you're a Facebook member, please "friend" us today!
Happy Holidays!
Susan

Beautiful Monday, and one full of news

Good Morning! It's a glorious day in Brentwood this Monday, Nov. 2. If you haven't checked out Brentwood Home Page today, you should. Here's a sampling:

Proposed school calendars already creating buzz

Leve: Discussion begins on Thursday

On Saturday, school board member Terry Leve shared with his District 6 constituents an email outlining three proposed 2010-2011 Williamson County Schools academic calendars. By Sunday, many Brentwood parents were already heating up the internet, passing emails back and forth about the proposals.

Brentwood shops say 'Happy Holidays' early

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas. That means holiday specials and promotions are just around the corner. For many stores, it also means the time has come for this season’s open house events – with several planned as early as this week.

Fifth annual Hoover Run's Saturday

The Hoover Run for Hope 5k and children’s one-mile run is scheduled for Saturday, Nov. 7 at Kenrose Elementary School in Brentwood. In its fifth year, this event has raised more than $100,000 to support the mission of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.

And my own BrentWord column:

Respect the past but let's move on with the future
I think Brentwood, and Williamson County as a whole, are at an important crossroads. Must we always hold on to the past or might we take a chance to see what exciting things the future might hold?
The question has been heavy on my mind for the past several days. It doesn't stem from one event but several I experienced in the last week.
