The FOL “Bling Sale,” Cool Thoughts for a Warm August

The FOL Bling Sale will not happen until Saturday, December 13.

However, now is a great time to consider clearing your jewelry box of long unworn, unappealing, “I definitely need some new kind of jewelry!”

Also, if you have sold jewelry at a garage sale and have leftovers; think of donating the remainder to the FOL Bling Sale.

Drop off your donations at the Fairfield Glade Village Mall across from Kroger or at the Library in downtown Crossville.

Your donations are greatly appreciated and will help fund books and needed improvements to our Cumberland County Art Circle Library. Let’s all keep it one of the best libraries in Tennessee.

 

Cumberland County Tea Party to meet

The Cumberland County Tea Party will meet at the Palace Theater, 72 South Main Street in downtown Crossville on Monday, August 11 at 6 P.M. (doors open at 5:30 P.M.)

This date is the second Monday of the month.  Please note that both the location and date of the August meeting are different from the customary location and date because the Cumberland County Fair will be in progress at the Community Complex. All concerned citizens who believe in limited government are invited to attend.

A Round Table discussion will be held to inform citizens of the proposed Amendment 2 to the Tennessee Constitution which will be on the November ballot.

A three person panel moderated by Crossville attorney, Sandra Baxter, will argue the pros and cons of the current merit system of judicial selection of justices versus the proposed selection by the electorate, of Tennessee Supreme Court and Appellate Court justices. The panel will field questions from the audience.

The Cumberland County Tea Party is not connected to any political party and no dues are collected.

It is a diverse movement of like-minded citizens who believe in limited government as ordained in the Constitution of the United States, particularly the first, second, and ten amendments.  Its purpose is to attract, educate, organize and mobilize fellow citizens to secure policies consistent with core values of fiscal responsibility and free markets.  For more information on the Tea Party, log on to: www.cumberlandcountyteaparty.net
