Lipscomb’s Local Service Fair
Lipscomb University has invited us Lipscomb’s Local Service Fair on Wednesday, September 12th.
The primary purpose of the Local Service Fair is to give students, faculty and staff an opportunity to see the many great service organizations we have in the Nashville area and to encourage them to become involved in some way. Our intention is for it to also benefit the Lipscomb family as we make it convenient for them to gather information on 30+ local service opportunities in just a few minutes time.
Some students are members of campus clubs that participate in serving collectively. Others may be required to fulfill a certain number of service hours for a particular class. And yet many are just putting their faith into action by putting others above themselves. Several will be challenged this year for the first time – freshman, transfer students and even upper classman who have yet to find their place to serve! Whatever their intention, we just want to encourage them in their walk as they journey through their 4-5 years on campus.
The purpose is to also allow us a chance to deepen our relationship with you and your agency so that we can continually strive to better serve the needs you have.
Date & Time: Wednesday, September 12th, 10:30am-12:30pm
Location: Adjacent to Bison Square

I.C. White Stone Foundation hosted the first annual Black Marriage Day Marriage Hall of Fame held at Eastside Church of Christ. The church is located at 2518 Gallatin Rd. It was held on March 25, 2007 from 3:00 - 5:00pm.
The Black Marriage Day - Marriage Hall of Fame is a heart-felt effort to recognize and awaken in others, the importance and significance of marriage in the African-American community. We seek to honor those couples who are leading by example by holding their marriages together. We celebrate those whose enduring bond inspires us. Who better to model the divine way in which God intended children be raised to their children than single mothers. Children need both their mothers and their fathers, says Kimberly Tucker the President & Executive Director.
I.C. White Stone Foundation is issuing a call for Black Marriage Day - Marriage Hall of Fame nominations. Three married couples will be selected as honorees for the Black Marriage Day - Marriage Hall of Fame. We will also recognize a fourth couple as our newlyweds of the year.
During the March 2008 Black Marriage Day celebration, the chosen couples will be recognized, honored, and immortalized through song, prose, and prayer for their distinguished examples as married couples.

Chief Ronal Serpas shares "the efforts of neighbors all over Nashville are making a difference in the life of our community...
YTD overall crime in Nashville is down about 1% from 2006. We had a spike in March and April, with May, June and July reversing the trend (June we were down 9.6% compared to June 2006, and July is down 6.5% over July 2007).
2006 was the third year in a row that crime fell in Nashville (2004, 2005, 2006), to the lowest level (both in actual reports filed and per capita rates) since 1990. So we are holding steady a crime rate that hasn't been experienced in 17 years, contrasted to a population that has grown by over 20% since 1990.
Finally, at the end of 2003, our city had about 250 active neighborhood watch groups – today we number over 360 groups. This is the most important data point to me. Neighborhood watch group growth is one of the most critical pieces to crime fighting, community policing and quality of life improvements, because it is in these nightly meetings, somewhere every day in Nashville, that we share our message, tools, strategies and accountability to make a difference.
