Safe and Warm
This is a project we are planning for 2008. The goal of the project
is to promote safe heating for Blount County Homes. We are partnering
with other agencies to seek families in need of insulation, doors,
windows, etc to improve the heating efficiency of their homes. We
would also include teaching from the Maryville City Fire Department
on the safe use of alternate heating sources.
Rising Star of Tennessee
Is an American Idol-type competition, with contestants submitting
a tape or CD and a $25 entry fee. All tapes/cd's are reviewed by a
panel of judges, and the finalist are invited to the first round of
competition. Winners advance through a combination of the judges'
scores and votes cast by paid attendees. Last year's winner received
recording and studio time, a make-over, professional photographs,
and a great promotional package, prizes exceeded $2000.00. It was
great fun - and we raised money for Patch to help more families.
