Spread the Love – Community Design Center

February is the month of love and I am visiting a different community group every day to thank them for the wonderful work that they are doing.

You may never have heard of East Tennessee Community Design Center, who I visited on Day 21 of #spreadthelove. But if you’ve been in a few public spaces in our area, like Change Center Knoxville, Emory Valley Center, and many others, then you have benefited from their work: professional design & planning services to improve life & work in East Tennessee.

What a great mission! Go send them some love on Facebook or Twitter and let them know what a good job they have done in the buildings they helped bring to life!

Spread the Love – Foster Grandparent Program

February is the month of love and I am visiting a different community group every day to thank them for the wonderful work that they are doing.

Day 20 of #spreadthelove is at the Knoxville-Knox County CAC Office on Aging #FosterGrandparent program.

Ann is such a sweet lady who loves to cuddle with “her” babies. It was such a pleasure to meet her, and on her birthday to boot!

Please send her and all of her co-volunteers your love and let them know what a truly wonderful job they are doing in our public schools, head start, and after school programs.

And if you have a few hours to spare and would love to spoil other people’s children and then send them home, then give the Foster Grandparent program a call at 865-524-2786 or email Gina.Whitfield@knoxseniors.org

Spread the Love – Harmony Family Center
February is the month of love and I am visiting a different community group every day to thank them for the wonderful work that they are doing.
Day 18 of #spreadthelove is at a special place: Harmony Family Center in #Knoxville! Talking with Rachael about everything they do throughout #Tennessee for #fosterkids and #adoptiveparents just gave me goosebumps. And it made me even happier to know how much the Camp Montvale Mudder’s Day 5K #getalittledirty #doalottagood #mudrun #fundraiser helps them. I’ll see you in the mud! 🙂
Don’t want to get muddy? No problem: Just hang out with the #foodtrucks & the #DJ. Then cheer on my team, which will come crawling through the finish line long after everyone else, together with the clean-up crew volunteers 😂😂😂
It’s a lot of fun and supports a GREAT cause!
