AGAINST THE GRAIN: The Art of

EDWARD H. PERRY Written by Gordon Alexander

The office of award-winning engineering, architecture, and planning firm, A2H, is more than just an office. A2H also acts as a venue for one-of-a-kind art exhibits and music concerts on the weekends. Most recently, the firm has been hosting an art exhibit of original artwork created by Memphis Academy of Arts alum, Edward H. Perry, that will continue to be shown through May 2014. Perry’s intricate collection includes over 60 original pieces that have never been shown, many of which highlight Perry’s signature style of incorporating geometric paintings and electronic circuitry with hand-crafted wooden frames. Perry left behind his entire collection to his close friends—local legendary singer/songwriter Keith Sykes and his wife, Jerene, and local writer Gordon Alexander, who became friends with Perry during their freshman year at the Memphis Academy of Arts in 1967. The three teamed up with A2H to unveil Perry’s vast collection. Since the debut of the exhibit, which was in March of 2013, the Sykes have been donating a portion of the exhibit’s proceeds to the Memphis College of Art in honor of their dear friend Perry.

Edward Hagen Perry was a man who was a champion figure skater and who could have one day been a part of the U.S. Olympic team, but art captured his heart instead, and he never looked back.

was true to his love of art. He continued to build his resume at the University of Cincinnati’s College of Design, Art and Architecture and received his M.F.A. in 1975.

Ed Perry was born in Louisville, Kentucky on July 18, 1947. He decided to stay close to home in his early college days by attending the University of Louisville and Paducah Junior College for two years. In 1967, Perry transferred to the Memphis Academy of Arts (now known as Memphis College of Art.) He was in love with the neon works of visionary Ron Pekar and the three-dimensional paintings of Ted Faiers while at Memphis Academy of Arts (MAA). While studying at MAA, he was also taking physics and other courses at Rhodes College (formerly known as Southwestern at Memphis.) Perry’s artistic style evolved tremendously through the use of spray paint, neon tubing and lights into his canvas work. In 1972, Perry’s passion for the arts paid off, and he received his B.F.A. from the Academy.

Some of Perry’s famous work was shown in museum exhibits like that at the de Young Art Museum in San Francisco, the Contemporary Arts Center in Cincinnati, and the Fleet Space and Science Center in San Diego. Ed Perry also assisted laser artist Rockne Krebs in installing laser sculptures in the Disneyland Hotel Complex in Anaheim, California, and in the Omni Hotel in the CNN Center in Atlanta. This dynamic duo also designed the “Civic Scale Laser Piece on Waterfront” in St. Petersburg, Florida.

Perry’s imagination yearned for more. After receiving his B.F.A., he was accepted to the Center for Advanced Visual Studies at M.I.T. in Boston. Perry

Perry really began focusing on his own art in earnest back in Kentucky after his mother’s death. He began utilizing woods of all types for his art. Some were salvaged from abandoned dwellings. Others he picked up from nearby farms or the local Amish community. Many of the works at the A2H exhibition contain little canvas but are instead dominated by wood, Plexiglas and electronic circuitry, all in striped patterns. In Perry’s own words:

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT

“These canvas paintings have shared the continuous expanse I started doing in the mid-sixties; that is, the interval between canvas and frame has become a dependent transition space, each relying on the other. Each enamel, spray-painted canvas is supported and surrounded by many various hardwoods; mahogany, walnut, cherry, oak, maple, beech, and redwood. All follow the same motif except the electronic pieces that do not have canvas centers.” Perry was in the truest sense of the word, the consummate environmentalist, for nothing in the Perry household was tossed aside; moreover, it was transformed into incredibly beautiful works of art. Perry was turned off by the corporate art world, and therefore was never interested in showing his work in galleries. He most likely gave away many more paintings than he ever sold in his lifetime, for his art was truly a labor of love. His dear friend, Gordon Alexander, believes that “just knowing Edward Hagen Perry was an enriching experience. He enjoyed discussing arts, music, and politics til the wee hours of the morning. He had a devilish sense of humor. He was one of the most diversely talented individuals I have ever known and an artist in the truest sense of the word. His life was his work, and he never deviated from that commitment.” Edward H. Perry died in 2007 due to a respiratory illness. They say if you do what you love, you’ll never work a day in your life. That statement holds true after witnessing the works of Edward H. Perry. The Art Gallery of A2H, Inc. is located at 3009 Davies Plantation Road Lakeland, TN. The exhibit of Ed Perry’s work will be on display through May 2014. The gallery is open Mondays through Thursdays from 10am-4pm and Fridays from 10am-12pm. Admission is free, so come by to be marveled by the creative works of Edward Perry.

Putting

“TheatreKids” Into the Spotlight Written by: Ron Jewell

There’s one thing that you can count on when you come to Bartlett, and that is that there is a keen interest in the youth of our community. Whether it’s the many athletic programs available through the schools or parks and recreation, or the wonderful library that was recently built, or through the city’s premier performing arts center, there is an extracurricular program for any and all of the young people of our town. According to public opinion surveys conducted by the arts advocacy group American for the Arts, 91% of respondents believe that the arts are vital to a well-rounded community, and nearly everybody agrees that the arts should belong to everyone, not just the privileged. The arts are fundamental to creating a positive life experience for people, and arts educational programs contribute enormously to childhood development. Students who participate in the arts are four times more likely to be recognized for academic achievement, and considerably more are likely to participate in math and science fairs. Arts

education stimulates the imagination and critical thinking and refines cognitive and creative life skills. While building selfconfidence and developing a sense of discipline, problem-solving has also been shown to strengthen. It is obvious that the futures of our children are dependent on the positive attributes that come through artistic expression. It is extremely important for any community to offer its citizens, regardless of age, a nurturing environment for creative engagement, and the Bartlett Performing Arts and Conference Center (BPACC) made certain from its inception to include programming for the youngsters. Though BPACC is known far and wide for its stellar schedule of world-renown touring guest artists,

throughout each season the stage is also reserved for aspiring young performers looking for an opportunity to hone their own theatrical talents. Local ballet and dance studios reguarly utilize the facility for student recitals, and similarly our own Bartlett Community Concert Band features “side-by-side” concerts that pair middle school bands with the orchestra’s adult musicians. Inspired by their stage experiences at BPACC, many of these student performers have gone on to participate in college productions and even professional performance troupes as well. The Bartlett Performing Arts and Conference Center has for years led in providing opportunities for youth involvement in the performing arts

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT

by offering outstanding programs for kids from kindergarten through high school. TheatreKids, designed for ages 12 to 17, is the cornerstone of the year-round activities for youth at the BPACC. The past several years have included full theatrical productions of traditional Broadway musicals like “The Wiz”, “Oklahoma”, “Guys and Dolls” and this year’s “High School Musical”. These programs are led by a seasoned directorial staff chosen for their professional expertise and their personal love for working with students of varying abilities. These shows are designed for both the novice as well as the experienced cast member, giving them each a chance to step into the spotlight. It takes real courage to overcome the nerve-wracking audition that leads to performing in front of a live audience, and TheatreKids is a perfect place to start. Aside from rehearsal instruction in dance and vocal performance, other past presentations by our TheatreKids have included coaching for a “One-Act Play Festival” and even a unique introduction to live radio drama in a special collaboration with the Memphis-based Chatterbox Audio Theatre. During that production of an “Alice in Wonderland” script, the kids not only played a host

of imaginary characters from the Lewis Carroll classic, but they also learned to craft a variety of on-stage sound effects that enhanced their auditory enactment. From the days the doors opened at BPACC, the touring Missoula Children’s Theatre has come to town to produce a very popular theatre residency that incorporates 50 to 60 young local children in an exceptional musical comedy always based on a time-honored children’s fairy tale. Over the years we have seen lots of Red Riding Hoods, Cinderellas, pirates, seagulls, bumblebees, Rumplestilskins, adventurers, kings, queens, Jack and the Beanstalk giants, lions, tigers and bears… just to mention a few. There is nothing like the excitement and backstage chaos just before the curtain goes up on one of these colorful productions where just about anything can happen. This year marks the 15th year that this beloved troupe has created for our Bartlett stage a glorious spectacle from the youthful imaginations. Last but not least, the BPACC playhouse fills the long dog days of June and July with five weeks of an exceptional theatre camp, giving youngsters a cool reason to jump out of bed during summer vacation. Each week is a stand-alone session, but

often the parents sign up their kids for multiple weeks of the creative play. Even some of the older kids involved find a leadership role alongside their younger associates, but all come together in a final showcase at week’s end for parents and siblings, aunts and uncles, neighbors and friends as they get their chance to step into the spotlight. Yes, the performing arts are supposed to be entertaining, but behind every creative endeavor exists a more profound set of personal rewards. A sense of accomplishment, newfound friendships, independence or just the ability to imagine what might be. Whatever the project, script or production by these young thespians, there is always one constant. These “theatre kids” never want the curtain to come down.

Annual Quilt & Fiber Arts Show Article By Nancy McDonough, Davies Manor

Davies Manor hosted the 17th annual Quilt and Fiber Arts Show November 1, 2 and 3, showcasing over 200 quilts and other needlework including an incredible display of Quilts and Dolls which are a part of the Hoffman Fabric challenge, an international contest held annually. BARTLETT

The Davies show also offers its own challenge annually. 30 kits are prepared, and on a first come basis they may be purchased at the show or the Association Offices as long as they last. The kits contain fabrics, and rules which are to be followed by participants to produce a small quilt which must be turned in for

the next yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s show. Eight quilts were chosen to be entered in the American Quilters Society show in Grand Rapids, MI the following year. Kits for the next challenge, Hands Around the World, were sold at the show and there may still be a very limited number available.

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT

HOFFMAN CHALLENGE QUILTS

For the show, Hillwood, the event rental facility on Davies Plantation, was filled with the entries of local quilters and participants from as far away as Georgia, Pennsylvania, Florida and Michigan. These quilts are separated into categories ranging from modern art quilts, to traditional pieced quilts, machine work, and hand done. There are also categories for clothing and accessories, and other needlework including knitting, weavings, smocking and embroidery. Beautiful handmade ribbons are awarded in each category and one best of show ribbon is awarded from those winners. The category winners are selected by viewerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s choice ballots cast at the show, and the best of show winner, and five friends, are treated to lunch in the Manor House one day during the open season. The quilt show is sponsored by Davies Manor, but the work is done by a crew of dedicated volunteers who are affectionately known as the Davies Manor Quilters, who meet every Wednesday morning at 10:00 a.m. at Hillwood. Beginning in January each year, the first meeting each month is dedicated to planning and work for the quilt show,

and starting in September most of those meetings are centered around getting things in order. Anyone is welcome to come, bring a project to work on, quilting, knitting, writing, anything you want to share. It is a fun, social outlet, but they get a lot of work done as well and manage to put on one of the

best shows of local talent you can find in the Mid-South. In 2014, the 18th annual quilt show will be held on November 7, 8, and 9, so finish up those projects and bring them out to be a part of the show, or just come by and see all the beautiful creations from our talented community. Davies Manor offers a variety of events throughout the year in addition to the quilt show. The Manor House will open for the Spring season on April 1, 2014, but there are events at Hillwood in the meantime. February 15th is the Quilters Pot Luck Show and Tell Day. Everyone brings a dish and a quilt or needlework project to work on, and all attendees have lots and lots of fun. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s from 10:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m., and there are all kinds of people to share their talents and creative enthusiasm with you.

There are always volunteer docents and historical re-enactors on hand to answer questions and teach a little history of the plantation, the general Bartlett/Shelby County area, and the people and events that are portrayed at Davies Manor in their mission to educate and preserve for future generations the way of life on the farms and settlements of the mid to late 19th century in Tennessee. Memphis Area Master Gardeners who plant and maintain a PAR (Plant A Row for The Hungry) Garden on the Grounds of Davies Manor can give tours of the garden and talk to visitors about organic gardening practices and the MAMG programs. They also hold gardening classes at the site, so check the websites of both Davies and MAMG for schedules and information. Entrance to the Manor House is at 9336 Davies Plantation Road, and to come to Hillwood or the grounds in the off season when the manor is closed, use the entrance at 3570 Davieshire Drive, Bartlett, 38133. Each year, the Manor House closes for the season in mid-December, when they hold their Holiday Open House to

say thank you to all of their supporters. Refreshments are served in Hillwood and special tours of the Manor House are led with living history portrayals of members of the Davies family. The event is from 2 to 4 pm and is open to the public.

A Night Under the Stars Article by Jason Sykes

As families prepared for school graduations and were making their lists and checking off the days until a much needed summer vacation, another type of planning was taking place inside the Bartlett Station area of Bartlett. Members from the City of Bartlett’s Bartlett Station Commission were making plans to launch a new fun and family-oriented outdoor summer movie series—Bartlett Movies in the Park. Their motive was to showcase all the wonderful amenities and businesses that the Bartlett Station area has to offer, all while giving the citizens of Bartlett a fun outlet. (Bartlett Station is the area along Stage Road from Bartlett Boulevard to the city limits heading west down Stage Road.) The idea quickly formed to offer an outdoor summer mini movie series—something that had not been done in the city on this scale. Through this project, the Bartlett Station Commission hoped to address the core issues behind their purpose—to showcase downtown Bartlett,

strengthen businesses in that area, and attract young families. Through planning and oversight from the Bartlett Station Commission, the project began to take shape. Project outlines, working with local businesses, making phone calls, and raising money to host the movie series were top priorities. As momentum continued to build for the project, it became obvious that the community loved the idea of offering a fun and free event that the entire family could enjoy. “The response from the very beginning was extremely positive and well received,” said Jason Sykes, Bartlett Station Commissioner and project lead for the movies in the park. “It made the marketing and other efforts really fall into place.” As it turned out, the business community was very receptive to the idea as well. The Bartlett Station Commission members developed a marketing and sponsorship strategy and began to solicit local businesses to partner with the project. As a result, Bartlett Movies in the Park was 100% funded by the local business community, thus making it free to the public. These businesses included McDonald Insurance, CrossFit Bartlett, Cole Pain Therapy Group, Armil Construction, McLean & Spivey

“The response from the very beginning was extremely positive and well received”

Certified Public Accountants, Steven’s ATA Martial Arts, and The Bartlett Express. A huge thank you is due to these companies for bearing the financial burden of this event. The Commission thought it best to start small and build from there. The decision was quickly made to set up inside W. J. Freeman Park, which is within the Bartlett Station area, and provide a high quality sound system and a screen big enough to view the movie. The plan wasn’t much more than that. “The city is open to fresh ideas that will allow for new and interesting events for people who live in Bartlett,” said Brooks McDonald, commission and planning committee member. The planning committee decided to offer three movies as a way to introduce the idea. The first movie debuted on May 17th with “A Night at the Museum” followed on May 24th with the animated children’s film, “Horton Hears a Who.” The third movie in the series was decided by the community in an online Facebook contest. The public had five action movies to vote on with the movie receiving the most “likes” winning. Ultimately, the citizens chose the movie, “Independence Day.” Facebook was a great way to reach out to Bartlett area folks and build awareness and excitement. A lot of people not only voted on the third movie in the series but also left positive comments of appreciation and enthusiasm. With the details finalized and corporate sponsorships secured, a new hit quickly formed! Families had their blankets and picnic baskets laid out, and children played until the movie started. As

the sun began to set and the movie began on the big screen, a crowd of 300+ people anxiously awaited as the first movie night got underway. As the night went on and darkness settled in, the stars made the night feel especially magical. “I remember the feeling of excitement in the air that first night,” said Sykes. “It’s one thing to have an idea, but seeing it through is what really matters. It was great to see so many families come together and experience part of what this area has to offer, plus enjoy a free family-friendly event. It was a win/win.” As word in the community spread, the summer movie series continued to grow with the largest crowd reaching over 650 people. Movie goers as far as Olive Branch, MS, and Munford, TN, came out to experience the new and creative night. Some families came early and grilled food while other folks passed out water. Young, old, families, and teenagers alike were drawn to enjoy the recreation before the full heat of the summer set in. The Bartlett Station Commission will be bringing Bartlett Movies in the Park back for a second season. The target dates are slated for the Spring 2014 with a much more expanded line-up.

The Bartlett Classic Car Cruise-In Article By James Hicks President, Memphis Classic Chevy Club

The Memphis Classic Chevy club began the Bartlett Classic Car Cruise-In five years ago with just four of the members on a Thursday night. The first night we only had four or five cars. We parked the cars and raised our hoods, set out our lawn chairs, and we had a car show. It grew from month to month. One night we had a gentleman drive up in a Vintage WWII armored truck. On another night we had an alcohol burning rail job dragster show up, and yes, he started it up. The end of the first summer we had around 150 cars.

attend on any given Thursday. Cruisers come from the tri-state area on a weekly basis. People from as far south as the Gulf Coast and as far north as Illinois have heard about this experience. It is one of the largest known Cruise-Ins in the country. The Memphis Classic Chevy Club prints Cruise-In T-Shirts with Bartlett, TN clearly visible. This markets our town all over the Mid-South and beyond. Memphis Classic Chevy Club members have seen these shirts all around neighboring states.

The Cruise-In is at the corner of Kirby Whitten and Stage Road with the blessing of Gill Properties, the owner of the shopping center. In its inception, the event would only be held the third Thursday evening of each month. It did not take long until the classic car guys and girls began to hear about the event. Before too long it had grown to 150 cars, and the cruisers were asking if the Cruise-In could be held every Thursday evening weather permitting.

The merchants and restaurant owners love the Cruise-In, too. Most have to bring in additional employees to handle the extra business each Thursday. Every restaurant is packed with customers having dinner and visiting with friends. Some of the restaurant managers have been known to send some of their employees out with nightly specials so those die hard car guys donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even have to go in and order. The Bartlett Classic Car Cruise-In is a great place for fun, food, and fellowship, not to mention the boost it gives to our local economy.

A High Power Bill is Not Inevitable

Frieze Board

Seal

Written by David A. Trentlage, Neighborhood Pro Builders Photos by Jack Antonuk

If you’re not happy with your current utility bill, get ready! Costs will increase significantly over the next five years. Extreme weather patterns are becoming the norm all over the US. In the last three years, the Mid-South has experienced hotter summer temperatures, drought, higher than normal rainfall, and even flooding. A colder than normal winter this year would cause heating bills to spike, and we’ll all feel the pinch. So what can you do to combat higher utility bills? What are the most cost efficient home energy strategies? There are many possible energy fixes. Some can be thought of as “low hanging fruit” or fast and easy do-it-yourself projects. These include controlling your thermostat during summer and winter, replacing incandescent light bulbs with compact fluorescent or LED bulbs, turning lights OFF when leaving a room, using Energy Star appliances to replace old units, adding power strips for electronic devices and turning them off when not in use. However, these measures are only the beginning of home energy efficiency. Most homes have multiple air leaks that cost owners money. When it comes to your house and air leaks, there are two simple rules: First, heat always moves to cold (nature wants it all the same temperature). Second, all insulation controls heat but most home insulation does not stop air. Air conditioned houses are summertime cold spots. This means summer heat (radiant energy) moves toward cool home interiors (remember rule #1). The typical Mid-South house is an insulated, cool boat sitting in an ocean of heat. When the outside temperature rises and the wind blows, air leaks and heat overwhelm the air conditioner (the bailing bucket). We could buy bigger air conditioners (buckets) but there’s a less expensive solution — fix the air leaks and add insulation. Where are these air leaks? Take a magnifying glass outside your house. Look for cracks around your doors and windows at siding or brick. Notice gaps between (frieze) board and brick. It goes all the way around your house. Look closely at holes in the brick mortar that AREN’T weep holes (a small opening left in the outer wall of a brick home as an outlet for water inside the building to move outside the wall and evaporate – DON’T PLUG THOSE) and all the spaces, voids/knotholes in your siding. Use the magnifying glass to see gaps where every wire, gas pipe, phone line, TV cable, dog door, light fixture, dryer vent, hose bib, electric meter, etc., create an air leak. This is only a partial list for outside your home. BARTLETT

IN SIGHTS

The air leak list for living space, attic and ceiling/wall assemblies is just as long. Ever felt a winter draft at doors or windows? Summer heat doesn’t stop drafts. We’re just not as sensitive to warm air movement. Every Mid-South home has these air leaks unless it was built with an energy efficiency certification (Energy Star, Eco-build, etc.). A whole house remediation plan using caulk, foam and other air barrier materials will significantly reduce air leaks. As a Certified Building Analyst, I’ve seen post work results that improve air leak reduction of up to 60%. These measures work year round to reduce utility bills, improve indoor air quality, and reduce noise. Other air leaks that need fixing aren’t in walls and ceilings— they’re in our HVAC systems. Today most homes are cooled and heated with forced air systems. Pipes and boxes in this air distribution system leak because they’ve never been sealed and are subject to damage and installer error. As a result, HVAC systems average 30-50% air loss from ducts. This means 3050% of the air we pay to cool and heat our homes NEVER gets

A clear “Energy

Insulation

Efficiency

Roadmap”

which includes as the first phase a whole-house air seal, furnace system duct seal, and insulation at second floor attic walls and ceilings is the best plan. Building science experts know these energy efficiency measures can reduce your power bill 25-50%, improve air quality, eliminate drafts and hot/cold spots in rooms while making your home more comfortable. A more detailed description of these energy measures follows:

For “walk-in” attics, air seal the attic door with spray foam, a door sweep, and weather strips, then apply 2” rigid foam to attic side of door for insulation.

Insulation works best when complete home air seal is done first. Fiberglass insulation to second floor ceilings and attic must be TVA required depth of R-40.

Homeowners who have energy efficiency measures installed will reap four major benefits:

Whole House Air Seal Air leaks waste energy and increase your power bill. Air seal is the first step to energy efficiency. A thorough job requires air seal to interior, exterior, attic – all windows, doors, drain pipes, water supplies, frieze board, wire, top plates, plugs & switches on outside walls, base shoe at hardwood floors, and interior trim at windows and doors.

1. Power bills 25-50% lower 2. Far more comfortable Insulation Second Floor

Attic Tent

Second floor walls between attic and living space are subject to air leaks, hot spots, and humidity incursion. These problems are solved by applying 2” rigid foam panels on the attic side of walls. All penetrations through walls are sealed with closed cell spray foam and rigid panel seams are sealed. This process eliminates thermal bridging at 2x4s and increases wall R-value to R-21.

Attic tents are installed on “pull-down” attic stairs located in heated spaces. The attic tent is an air seal, radiant barrier and insulator. Once installed, you still have full access to your attic!

The Next At 4,500 acres, Shelby Farms Park is a community treasure, unrivaled in size and potential anywhere else in the United States. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a big park with an even bigger mission â&#x20AC;&#x201C; to give rise to a celebrated 21st century park that defines and shapes a great city. Shelby Farms Park and Shelby Farms Greenline are managed and operated by Shelby Farms Park Conservancy (SFPC), a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization. SFPC was granted an historic opportunity to manage the land on behalf of the citizens of Shelby County in 2008 and is working hard to create a bright future for Shelby Farms Park and the communities that use it. Recognizing that the Park means many things to many people, Shelby Farms Park Conservancy designed a bold and visionary Master Plan. The plan designates the Park as a model for design and sustainable management practices, not only for the region, but also for the world. In recent years, Shelby Farms Park Conservancy completed three demonstration projects: Shelby Farms Greenline, Woodland Discovery Playground and the Wolf River Pedestrian Bridge. These amenities have helped to physically connect city-dwellers to the heart of the Park and have helped kids throughout the MidSouth connect with nature.

Play the Park The Woodland Discovery Playground is a world-renowned play landscape that was one of the first three sites in the world to be awarded Sustainable SITES certification for sustainable design, which is equivalent to LEED certification for outdoor landscapes. The play features were inspired by local children who voiced how they like to play and were constructed using recycled and reclaimed materials. The Woodland Discovery Playground is an ideal play space for kids up to age 12. BARTLETT

The fun isn’t limited to land. The Park is home to more than 20 bodies of water. Patriot Lake is a favorite paddling spot for many boaters. You can bring your own kayak or canoe, or you can rent one at the boathouse. For those that want to get a good leg workout, paddle boats are available for hourly rentals as well. While you’re at the boat house, you can pick up the essentials for a round of disc golf. The 18-hole disc golf course is located just north of the buffalo range and is open from sunrise to sunset each day. Do you have a playful pup? A favorite area of the Park for dog-lovers is The Outback Off-Leash Dog Park. Here, dogs can roam the meadows and trails, and even take a dip in the lake. The area is also home to multi-use trails that are used by runners, cyclists and horses. A unique way to experience the Park is on horseback. Shelby Farms Stables offers hour-long guided trail rides that are great for the whole family. Kids must be at least 8 years old and anyone under 18 must have a parent or guardian sign a waiver in person at the time of the ride. The Stables can often accommodate walk-ups, but making a reservation is helpful.

A Place to Exercise With more than 20 miles of trails within the Park and 6.5 miles of Shelby Farms Greenline, hiking, biking and running are some of the most popular ways to experience the Park. The trail network is diverse – it offers both paved and unpaved trails of varying distances that travel through the difference landscapes of the Park. Some trails wind along shaded forest paths, some meander through open meadows, some lead you to the water’s edge and one even leads you into Midtown Memphis.

A Place to Connect Shelby Farms Greenline is one of the Park’s best loved trails – cyclists were ready to ride on it before the pavement was dry. The 6.5 mile paved trail runs east from Tillman Street in Midtown Memphis to Shelby Farms Park, giving communities safe bike and pedestrian access to open green space like never before. The Greenline is a rails-to-trails project that converted the unused CSX rail line to a paved trail for cyclists and pedestrians.

Woodland Discovery Playground

The Greenline physically connects people to the Park, but programs and events connect Park users to each other. Each year, the SFPC produces events that connect the community to the Park in exciting ways and that provide support for the Park and Greenline you love. When you attend an SFPCproduced event (Starry Nights, Down to Earth Festival, Summer Concerts or Spooky Nights) or register for an SFPC-produced race (Earth Day 5K, Greenline Half Marathon, Starry 4K), your admission/registration and parking fees benefit the Park and Greenline.

Volunteer The Park relies on the work of volunteers year round. Each year, SFPC logs more than 20,000 hours of service. Volunteering at the Park is a great way to connect to the space you love and to connect to others that want to give back. Volunteers support the Park through projects, both long-term and short-term. For more information about volunteer opportunities, visit www.shelbyfarmspark.org/ volunteer.

When You Give, The Park Grows Shelby Farms Park is a people-powered park. It runs on the generous support of Park users, partners and friends. In order to keep the Park and Greenline clean, green and safe, Shelby Farms Park Conservancy privately fundraises more than 75 percent of its $2.5 million operating budget each year. It’s a big job! SFPC raises the money that it takes to run the Park in several ways: general donations, event admission, programs, facility rentals, buffalo adoptions, tree adoptions and Membership.

While the Park’s user groups are as diverse as its landscapes, the most iconic Park users don’t commute from the heart of the city – they live at the Park full time. The buffalo spend their days roaming the range and welcoming visitors to the Park. It takes a lot of work to care for the herd, so SFPC developed a fun program to support them – the Adopt-a-Buffalo program. The $100 honorary adoption (no, you can’t take a buffalo home with you) helps pay for daily maintenance—from feed to ranger hours spent maintaining the range to routine check-ups from wildlife experts. In return, you receive an adoption certificate (you get to name the buffalo), information about the herd and a stuffed toy buffalo. Buffalo adoptions make great gifts!

Save Money, Time, and Hassle:

Use a Travel Agent Written by Martie Watson, Travel Leaders

Many of you probably book your travel yourself either online or direct with the vendor. Why? Do you believe it’s cheaper or easier? Why spend your valuable time searching when that is what travel agents can easily do for you. Do you call a plumber when you’re having problems with your plumbing or use an auto mechanic when you have something wrong with your car? Travel agents are professionals in their field and are here for you!

One great thing about using a travel agent such as Bartlett Area Chamber of Commerce member, Travel Leaders, is that as a general rule, they only charge for air-only reservations. Because travel agents are paid by the vendor, you don’t have to pay an additional fee to use an agent. Plus, you can book your entire trip including your airfare, transfers and/ or cruise or resort up to one year out and make payments on your trip at no additional charge!

Bellagio, Las Vegas

One of the biggest myths out there is that you can always find a better/cheaper deal online or directly through the vendor. Well the truth is that most of the time, a travel agent can meet or beat what you are finding online if comparing apples to apples. Why spend your valuable time doing the research to find the right vacation, when a travel agent can easily assist you with our knowledge of many locations and types of vacations to suit your every need?

TOURISM & TRAVEL

Travel agents get to know you and learn about your approach to travel, what you like to see and do, and how you like to do these things. Do you want a relaxing vacation, an adventurous vacation, an active vacation? Once a travel agent knows your travel budget and date of birth (necessary for booking appropriate travel), they will make sure to book the best possible vacation for you. Travel agents act as sounding boards, matching up what they know has worked for other travelers like you and steering you away from things that look good on the Internet but which in reality aren’t as good as they seem. They also help ensure you get to see and do the things that are best for you and your preferred style of travel.

Using a travel agent costs you very little — if anything — and saves your time and your eagerlyawaited vacation from potential pitfalls and problems.

If you’re using the Internet, you may end up booking your travel arrangements over a range of different websites and suppliers, located in different countries, and unconnected with each other. If something such as airfare changes with just one of your bookings, all of the other arrangements will need to be adjusted by you, and any conflicts or mistakes might not be so obvious as if you had booked everything through a travel agency. And if you book online, who are you

TOURISM & TRAVEL

going to call when the hotel lost your reservations or your flight has just been cancelled? Do you have someone to call and that will pick up the phone and go to bat for you? Travel agents help you “get it right” when you plan your travel. No web application can do this the same way a person does. Still not convinced? Booking your vacation yourself often becomes your second job— and it shouldn’t! The internet is a wonderful tool for doing research on the type of vacation you want, but finding the “best deal” can very quickly become a lot of work. That is a travel agent’s job, so let them do the work for you. Travel agencies get 10-15 faxes/emails a day about current specials, hotel sales, and last minute deals. Let them use their resources to find the best vacation for you at the best price! Travel agents, such as those at Travel Leaders, provide you with a broader and more complete range of services that can’t be found on the Internet. Plus, you have

the ability to conveniently speak with a real person which can make all the difference when you have a problem or if you need some special advice or assistance. You should enjoy your vacation, and a travel agent can make sure you have the best experience possible at the best rate!

The Bluff City enjoys some of the most loyal sports fans you will ever meet. The sea of yellow “Growl Towels” can be seen waving in the Memphis Grizzlies’ “Grind House”: the FedEx Forum. Just around the corner, baseball fans can cheer on the Memphis Redbirds from inside AutoZone Park. And the city is affectionately known as “Tiger Country” among Memphians for its fanatical and longstanding dedication to the University of Memphis’ flagship basketball program, the Memphis Tigers. These elements have helped mold Memphis into the thriving “down-home” metropolis it is today. Memphis, which is centrally-located in the Southeast, is like the hub of a wheel of tourist destinations. Within a 10 hour car ride, Memphians can reach major surrounding cities such as Dallas, Little Rock, St. Louis, Atlanta, Nashville, New Orleans, Chicago and the Gulf Coast.

Dallas, Texas

That’s right, Texas. It is only a six and a half hour drive from Memphis to Dallas, one of the country’s most rapidly growing cities. Dallas offers a slew of art, entertainment and Texas southern charm. The city’s urban arts district is the largest in the country and covers 19 blocks of Dallas. After you visit Dallas’ performing and visual institutions, your family can enjoy a picnic at the brand-new Klyde Warren Park that borders the Dallas Arts District. If shopping is more your niche, visit the exquisite downtown Neiman Marcus flagship location, a great holiday escape. What is Texas without the Texas twostep?

THE CITY OF NEW ORLEANS TRAIN BY PHIL JOHNSON

Chicago Skyline Photo courtesy of City of Chicago

Arlo Guthrie’s version of the City of New Orleans is a musical icon of the early 1970’s. This homage to rail travel has always been one of my favorites. When I was a young boy I can remember going to Buntyn Station at Southern and Semmes in Midtown Memphis to pick up my grandparents and other family members returning from exotic places. The cities of New Orleans and Chicago were fascinating to me, and I am thankful for the opportunity to have taken the train to both of them from Memphis on several occasions. For many years working in downtown Memphis, I would see the City of New Orleans (which is the name of the train) arrive from Chicago in the mornings headed to New Orleans. I was tempted to jump on board and “Roll along past houses, farms and fields.” For those who have never embarked on a rail adventure, the City of New Orleans is truly an experience for your bucket list whether you’re heading to Chicago or to New Orleans from Memphis. A trip on the City of New Orleans is not just about getting from point A to point B, though. It is a trip of our nation’s musical heritage connecting New Orleans (the birthplace of jazz) with Memphis (home of the Blues) with Chicago (world-renowned for its Symphony Orchestra).

New Orleans has always been a favorite place for Mid-Southerners. Memphis and New Orleans are intertwined in history with the Mississippi River, cotton, Beale Street, Bourbon Street and the Blues. Memphis and Chicago also have a shared interest in the Blues. There

Central Station on South Main and head off to Beale Street to enjoy the festivities of one of Memphis’ hottest attractions before catching the late night train. The train arrives in Chicago in the early morning, and you have the whole day to explore Chicago. Chicago Union Station Downtown is centrally located and is close to hotels and world-famous shopping on Michigan Avenue also known as the “the Miracle Mile.” The Navy Pier has 50 acres of fun with restaurants, shops, an IMAX theatre plus a 15-story ferris wheel overlooking the lake.

has always been a lively debate on the difference between the Memphis Blues and the Chicago Blues. The Chicago Blues developed from the migration of African Americans workers from the Delta to the industrial north in search of jobs. However, from what I have heard, Chicago was the first to used “amplified” or electrical equipment to accompany the music. Currently, the City of New Orleans train leaves Memphis bound for Chicago at night. You can drop your luggage at the

For more “highbrow” activities, go to the Art Institute of Chicago. Located at the intersection of Michigan and Adams, the museum and school were built in 1893 for the World’s Columbian Exposition, and the Art Institute continues to be one of the leading museums in the United States. From the Art Institute, head over to the Museum Campus. You can find just about everything that is great about Chicago there—world-class museums, parks, sports, the Chicago skyline and the lakefront. The Field Museum of Natural History is one of the attractions that is a must-see. The original Field was built for the Columbian Exposition in 1893 and moved to its present location on the

TOURISM & TRAVEL

waterfront in 1921. The Museum’s 25 million objects—from Antarctic dinosaurs to Peruvian plants, from Inuit masks to Tanzanian mammals—are the lifeblood of the Museum, and an unparalleled resource to the world scientific community. Their collections hold answers to fundamental questions about our planet, its life, and its cultures. In an increasingly virtual world, our specimens are the real, concrete evidence of life on Earth.

Now for the real fun: sports! Sports enthusiasts will love Chicago! No matter what time of year you visit The Windy City, you’re sure to be able to catch a

game. From their two baseball teams (the White Sox and the Cubs) to the Bears pro football team to The Chicago Fire soccer team to the Chicago Bulls pro basketball team and the Blackhawks ice hockey team, you will be able to get your fill of high-quality sports! After the game, you can relax at one of Chicago’s blues bars. Many of these serve soul food as well as dispensing drinks. The most popular of these are Rosa’s Lounge, Blue Chicago, Lee’s Unleaded Blues and Buddy Guy’s Legends. Once it’s time to disembark from your Chicago adventure, a bonus about the rail service from Chicago to Memphis is that you board the City of New Orleans at night and sleep until you arrive in Memphis early the next morning. Sleeping on the train also recalls Arlo Guthrie’s song saying “rocking to the gentle beat and the rhythm of the rails is all we dream.” >

Also on the Museum Campus are the popular Shedd Aquarium and the Adler Planetarium. The Shedd Aquarium is one of Chicago’s top cultural attractions and is the largest indoor aquarium in the world with more than 8,000 aquatic animals. The Adler Planetarium was the first modern planetarium in the Western Hemisphere, opening on May 12, 1930, and houses one of the world’s finest collections of

antique astronomical instruments including sundials, telescopes, astrolabes and more. Plus, you can catch a show in one of their three theaters including the Grainger Sky Theater—the most technologically advanced theater in the world.

If you’re heading South from Memphis, The City of New Orleans train to the Crescent City also leaves Memphis in the morning. Rolling “along the southbound odyssey” the train goes through the heart of the Mississippi Delta and picks up passengers in Greenwood and Yazoo City before stopping in Jackson. The train arrives in the Big Easy midafternoon. The station is downtown and close to the popular French Quarter and the Garden District. After checking in at one of the many hotels in New Orleans, put on some comfortable walking shoes, start on Canal Street, and head to the French Quarter. Walking is the best way to see the Quarter either alone or with a group. There are also bus tours, horse buggies and the new fad eco-friendly pedicabs (buggies with bicycles). The French Quarter is fascinating! Since we are from Tennessee, it is fitting that our first stop would be Jackson Square. Our fellow Tennessean and 7th President, Andrew Jackson, stands guarding the French Quarter. Jackson Square is a favorite place for artists. Surrounding the square is Saint Louis Cathedral, the Pontalba Apartments, the Cabildo and the Presbytere. Not far from the square is the Napoleon House located at 500 Chatres. The home dates back to the early 1800s. The house was offered to Napoleon after he was exiled and is a favorite of writers and artists. The Napoleon House is also famous for its food and drinks. The streets in the Quarter are full of fine restaurants and shops, so you can enjoy a wealth of dining and shopping options including Royal Street which is famous for its antique shops and art galleries. Opposite the French Quarter on Canal Street is Downtown New Orleans and beyond downtown is the Garden District. Downtown consists of the Central Business District, the Warehouse District (now known as the New Orleans Art District) and the Sports and Entertainment District. Each

has its own personality and is anchored between the Superdome and the River. The New Orleans Arts District is the most hip area and is called the “SoHo of the South.” On Julia Street in the arts district, you can find more than 25 galleries along with the 10,000 sqft Contemporary Arts Center and one of the most popular attractions in New Orleans, the National World War II Museum. If you’re looking for dining options, the New Orleans Art District has plenty with restaurants and cafes serving up a variety of cuisines. In fact, the original Emeril’s was one of the first to locate in the district over a decade ago. Beyond the Downtown Districts lies the Garden District along Saint Charles. Here stands some of the most opulent homes in the South. It also houses the Audubon Zoo, which offers an exotic mix of animals from around the world as well as unique natural habitat exhibits such as the award-wining Louisiana Swamp and Jaguar Jungle. If you’ve never seen a white alligator, they’re quite a sight and a mustsee when visiting the zoo! When you’re ready to head home, the City of New Orleans train leaves New Orleans in the late afternoon and “through the Mississippi darkness” to Memphis arriving late at night.

Traveling on the train is a great experience for all ages, and we’re fortunate in Memphis to be able to easily ride the rail to interesting destinations such as Chicago and New Orleans. For more information visit www.amtrak. com/city-of-new-orleans-train.

HEALTH & WELLNESS

The da Vinci Si Surgical Robot Smaller Incisions, Bigger Possibilities Saint Francis Hospital-Bartlett recently acquired the da Vinci Si Surgical System, one of the most advanced robotic systems in the Memphis area. Because robotic surgery is still considered to be in its infancy, many patients aren’t familiar with this surgical technique and its potential benefits. Robotic surgery is not surgery performed by a robot. Patients do not need to worry that they will see Robot from the popular 1960s science fiction television series “Lost in Space” in the operating room. Rather, robotic surgery is a technique that allows a physician to perform an operation using a computer that remotely controls tiny instruments attached to a robot. Robotic-assisted surgery uses smaller incisions than traditional open surgery. These incisions may also be smaller than those used in a laparoscopic procedure without robot assistance. The smaller incisions can mean:

• Faster recovery time

• Less pain and bleeding

• Less risk of infection

• Shorter hospital stays

• Smaller scars

“We believe that the new features of the da Vinci Si System will help us provide the best possible outcomes,” said Jeremy Clark, Saint Francis Hospital-Bartlett chief executive officer. “It is part of our commitment to provide the community with access to some of the latest advancements in minimally invasive surgery.” Robotic-assisted surgery provides surgeons with a steady set of hands that can hold and manipulate instruments under the surgeon’s control. During the procedure, the surgeon’s hand movements are translated through the computer to the robot’s arms that then do the work. Safety mechanisms are in place to ensure that the robot only moves under the control of the surgeon. If the

surgeon looks away from the computer terminal, the robot locks in place. “The da Vinci Si is very precise,” said George Wortham, M.D., a gynecological surgeon at Saint Francis HospitalBartlett. “It has a wrist that moves more freely than the human wrist, allowing us to perform more difficult surgeries with minimally invasive techniques.” In addition, the da Vinci Si has three arms that the surgeon is able to utilize. One of those arms holds a special camera that provides three-dimensional views, including magnification of the area where the surgeon is working. The robot’s arms can get to areas of the body that are difficult to reach in traditional open surgery and laparoscopic surgery.

The da Vinci Si Surgical System at Saint Francis Hospital-Bartlett features single-site capability, which is used for gallbladder surgery. Instead of making multiple incisions, the surgeon makes a single incision through which several instruments are inserted. “Neither robotic surgery nor single-incision surgery is new, but combining the two to remove the gallbladder requires additional training and special equipment,” says Melvin Payne, M.D., a general surgeon at Saint Francis Hospital-Bartlett. “We are often able to make the incision through the belly button, with the result being little or no visible scarring.” Saint Francis Hospital-Bartlett also has a da Vinci Si equipped with Firefly Fluorescence. Firefly uses near-infrared imaging to detect an injected dye of indocyanine green in the blood. The dye helps identify vascular flow to the kidney and distinguish between normal tissue and cancerous tissue. This technology is used for partial nephrectomy, in which the part of a kidney containing cancer is removed. The technological advancements offered by the da Vinci Si provide Saint Francis Hospital-Bartlett’s surgeons with precision, dexterity, and control that enable a minimally invasive approach for many complex surgical procedures. This includes prostatectomy, hysterectomy, myomectomy, and colorectal surgery.

For more information regarding physicians in your area using da Vinci technology, please call 855-99-ROBOT.

r u o g n i t t Ge e v i t c A h t You In the digital age of tablets, smart phones, and video games, it’s a constant battle to get our kids outside and playing. The lure of apps, video games, and television is extremely powerful. Aside from the pure entertainment value, many are now designed to be educational as well. There’s an app for everything, a video game that does anything, and tv shows that are targeted to teach everything from math to reading. But at what cost do we allow ourselves and our youth to be sucked in to new technology? According to the American Heart Association, today about one in three American kids and teens is overweight or obese, nearly triple the rate in 1963. Why? It all boils down to the basics of diet and exercise. In order to combat the problem, though, change needs to happen at both the family level and at the community level. Fortunately, the City of Bartlett and the Bartlett Recreation Center recognize the importance of providing fun ways for youth in the community to be active and enjoy exercise starting at a young age.

Every year in late August, the City of Bartlett and the Bartlett Recreation Center host a Small Fry Tri, which is an introductory triathlon dedicated to kids ages 2-6 at the Bartlett Recreation Center. This past year’s event had 80 participants and continues to see increases every year. The Bartlett Small Fry Tri is not meant to be a serious kids version of the Ironman Triathlon, but it does provide kids with a fun, unique way to compete and to “burn some energy” in a positive way, which is always a favorite of participants’ parents. Children who participate in the event run about 25 yards, bike about 65 yards on bicycles or tricycles (with helmets on for safety), and “swim” which is really running through sprinklers. Participants are allowed to bring “trainers or coaches” which can be parents, grandparents, or older siblings to help them through the race.

HEALTH & WELLNESS

“A lot of the participants have older brothers and sisters who participate in our other kids triathlon, or have participated in this event and moved up to other triathlon events, so they are out here encouraging them on,” says BRC Program Manager Michael Goldberg. Participating children each get a race number pinned on to them just as adults do in triathlons, and they get to experience the unique thrill of competing and having their own cheerleaders (family and friends), which may be new for most children this age who have not yet competed in organized sports. By hosting the Bartlett Small Fry Tri, the City of Bartlett and the Bartlett Recreation Center hope to get area families involved in and excited about exercise in a fun way. The focus is on the joy of participating, not about winning. All participants in the Small fry Try are winners and receive a trophy, which is important to give kids a sense of pride for competing and finishing the race. Participating in a small event such as this one with a variety of activities may be the boost children need at an early age to get them interested in “active” activities versus only in passive electronic activities. Once children have mastered the Small Fry Tri (simply by turning age 7), they are eligible to participate in the Bartlett Kids Triathlon. The Bartlett Kids Triathlon has been around much longer than the Small Fry Tri having celebrated its 12th year in 2013. The City of Bartlett, Bartlett Recreation Center, Saint Francis Hospital-Bartlett, and the Commercial Appeal hosted the 2013 event which takes place throughout the streets of Bartlett and around the Rec Center.

“Saint Francis Hospital-Bartlett is proud to be a longtime sponsor of the Bartlett Kids Triathlon,” says Derek Venckus, Public Relations Coordinator for the hospital. “We want to do more than just help our patients; we want to support events that help improve the well-being of our community. This event encourages children to exercise and develop healthy habits. These habits can help ensure the health of these young competitors for many years to come.” The Bartlett Kids Triathlon is popular for kids ages 7-15 and, like the Small Fry Tri, continues to grow every year drawing nearly 100 participants this past year. “When you think of the number of 5k races and other events that are happening each weekend in our area, we’re very pleased that they chose ours,” said Goldberg. Unlike the Small Fry Tri, though, the Kids Triathlon features the same components as a true adult triathlon—just on a smaller scale. The competition is divided into a junior division for kids ages 7-10 who have to swim 100 yards, bike 3 miles, and run ½ mile, and a senior division for youth ages 11-15 who have to double the distances of the youth division by swimming 200 yards, biking 6 miles, and running one mile. Athletes may also participate in either division as a relay team which consists of three individuals. “Both of my children have participated in the Bartlett Kids Triathlon,” says Venckus. “It is great because it gets them off the couch and encourages them to focus on their goals for the event. I believe the lessons learned from working hard to achieve their goals will serve them well as they get older.”

HEALTH & WELLNESS

One of the biggest benefits for participants in the Kids Triathlon is the sense of accomplishment in completing the event. It doesn’t matter if they’re one of the first to cross the finish line or the one of the last, the feeling that they finished is one that can never be taken away. While the focus of both the Small Fry Tri and the Kids Triathlon is on the participants’ fun, a ripple effect can be seen on the sidelines as the spectating parents, siblings, grandparents, and friends have fun cheering them on. It’s this shared joy that truly makes the event a success by bringing families together and bringing the community together for the benefit of our children and their overall lifelong health.

ATC Fitness: Taking Care of their Customers and the Community Article and Photos by: Krista Antonuk

Many people have had the thought at one point in their career that they should branch out and have a business of their own because they want to do things in a better way. Few have had the courage to take the leap to follow such a dream. This was not the case for Keith and Julie Patterson, though. After being in the fitness industry for many years, Keith and Julie Patterson started their own fitness center, ATC Fitness, right here in Bartlett in 1991. They chose to locate in Bartlett because of the demographics of the area and to be near the high schools. Because of their very prominent regional marketing strategy on radio and tv, almost everyone in the area has now heard of ATC Fitness and their “$15 a month, No Commitment” slogan. The frequency of radio spots leads you to think that they must be a big national chain – but no. Since 1991, they’ve been family-owned and operated with their original flagship location still in Bartlett. They have since grown from the one store to 15 stores regionally located throughout the Memphis area, Jackson, TN; and Tupelo and Southaven, MS.

Owner Keith Patterson states “it will lose what we do—personal service.” Many companies tout the line of service being the most important thing but rarely can back it up with action. ATC Fitness truly makes sure they provide extraordinary value for their clients. For only $15 a month, they give you the VIP experience as if you’re paying $200 per month. As a member you receive 24/7 access to one of their clean, secure gyms (or $25 a month, access to all of their area gyms) and their free Smart Start training program which includes having your measurements recorded, an individualized workout program created, each exercise demonstrated showing you proper form for each of the machines, and a workout card detailing every exercise so that you can repeat the workout on your own successfully. And in order for you to maintain positive workout results and keep you successful in your fitness program, they will change your workout as needed as part of the free unlimited Smart Start training. Two questions that typically arise from prospective members of gyms (especially those that are open 24 hours) are security and cleanliness. ATC Fitness has a

sophisticated security and camera system that is always monitored. “We’ve never had a problem,” says Patterson confidently, and the confidence continues as he talks about the cleanliness of his gyms. “We know how to scrub toilets,” he laughs and says that includes every employee including himself and his wife, Julie who is a co-owner. “We clean our facilities ourselves rather than outsourcing in order to make sure that it’s done right. We know our equipment is clean because we clean it.” Many of ATC Fitness’s 50,000 clients are people who have never worked out before in their lives. “We want to make sure everyone knows how to workout and make it fun for them,” says Patterson. Since numerous studies have shown that stress is the number one killer of adults, ATC Fitness’s goal is to help their clients de-stress, get healthy, and have fun in the process. “We’re in the Big E business—and not Exercise. We’re the Entertainers,” says Patterson – a comment you rarely hear from business owners in an industry such as the fitness industry. It makes sense, though, because people are much more likely to workout and keep coming back, if they’re not bored during the experience. To ensure their members have a great workout experience, ATC Fitness always invests in the best equipment for their gyms and are constantly improving and expanding— right down to having TVs on every cardio machine in their gyms. They truly want you to be entertained while you’re working out. “We want to give you the best of the best—no contracts, free training and the best equipment,” says Patterson. That’s in addition to the clean, secure, entertaining environment which is just a given to Patterson as part of their facilities. The best decision Patterson ever made, as owner of ATC Fitness, was in 2008 when Bartlett was in a recession. He chose to expand his business when other businesses decide to pull back. “We can’t worry about what those outside of our club do,” says Patterson. “We just have to take care of our business, and do what we always do, which is take care of our members.” After expanding in 2008, ATC Fitness was thriving when the area did finally come out of the recession. They never looked back and have always kept with the same philosophy.

HEALTH & WELLNESS

ATC recently expanded their regional footprint by adding two Jackson, TN locations and another one in Southaven, MS to meet the need in those areas. While they’re pleased with their current number of locations and don’t feel the need for more expansion, they are open to the possibility “only if it’s going to be a homerun” according to Patterson. If they do expand, then they only expand within the region for two reasons: 1) To keep it close to home to ensure the quality of service at each location and 2) To be able to dominate with their marketing on regional tv and radio stations. With their current 15 locations, you have to wonder how they maintain the quality throughout the gyms. Patterson attributes it to having the best staff in the world. Aside from ATC Fitness being family-owned and operated, all 77 of their employees are “dedicated, passionate, and keep our focus” says Patterson with many employees having been with ATC Fitness for over ten years. “Some of the guys I’ve brought on, I’ve worked with for 40 years,” claims Patterson. Aside from taking care of their customers, the Pattersons and ATC Fitness want to take care of the community. They believe in giving back by supporting local high school athletics as well as a Memphisbased organization that is near and dear to them, St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. Julie Patterson’s daughter, Susan McDaniel, was a patient at St.

Jude before losing her battle to cancer. ATC Fitness has been heavily involved in their support of St. Jude year-round. No parent ever wants to think that their child will need the services of St. Jude, but some parents will have to face that challenge, and the Pattersons want to make sure that St. Jude continues to be able to provide the best care to children who need it.

Whether you’re thinking about starting to workout again or have never worked out, Patterson’s advice is to “Try it.” At $15 a month no commitment and their free unlimited Smart Start training, it’s hard to find an excuse not to take his advice.

In order to attract the best doctors, nurses, scientists, and other staff, St. Jude wanted to add an exercise facility on their campus for their staff. They approached ATC Fitness to tour their flagship gym in Bartlett and brought an entire busload of people to see what they thought they wanted their gym to resemble. While impressed with ATC Fitness, they knew they could never afford such a fitness center onsite since they are a non-profit organization. “No problem,” said Patterson, and in 2012, ATC Fitness bought all of the new equipment to furnish St. Jude’s onsite employee wellness center which totaled more than $128,000. For the one year anniversary of the center in spring of 2013, ATC Fitness donated more equipment in order to keep St. Jude’s facility the best of the best. “We want to help St. Jude’s employees workout in order to find an outlet for the stress that they have to deal with each day,” says Patterson. That’s how we can help.

Memphis and the surrounding area has a weak reputation for not having a work-ready, trainable workforce. That reputation has cost Memphis some prospective industries over the years which would have provided more goodpaying manufacturing jobs. While there is legitimate concern that enough jobready applicants don’t exist in the local MSA to fill the huge number of manufacturing jobs on the horizon, industrial training classes are one way to get potential applicants job-ready. In addition, it allows employers to see which students show the aptitude, personal responsibility and teamwork skills needed to succeed on a job.

Classes of about 20 students receive the entry-level training orientation at Southwest at the request of a specific company, and classes often have a representative attending the class to observe the students. Of the 652 students who have completed the four and a half week program in the last 18 months, 335 have been hired so far. Southwest’s involvement meshes with Governor Bill Haslam’s and local officials’ desire to have the state’s two-year colleges take a more active role in creating pools of job-ready workers.

In the last three years, Southwest Tennessee Community College has developed a workforce training formula that has worked for several major local companies. It is called the Industrial Readiness Training Program (IRT).

The IRT Program is an innovative step towards closing the skills gap and creating pools of job-ready workers. IRT was developed in partnership with the local Workforce Investment Network (WIN), and business, industry, and government leaders to provide relevant skills training, both soft and technical. The vision of the program is to develop a highly skilled manufacturing and industrial maintenance workforce that will meet

Local business and government leaders know which industries in their area will be hiring, the training requirements for those jobs, how much they will pay, and what students must learn to qualify for those jobs. Community College leaders work with these industries to provide a larger pool of job-ready workers. Many of the city’s companies aren’t aware of the IRT Program’s existence which grew out of an emergency response by local leaders to the difficult challenge of finding job-ready applicants. A recent report conducted by the Memphis Chamber with the support of Southwest Tennessee Community College, stated the increase in manufacturing jobs will help diversify a local economy that has been dominated by logistics and distribution, healthcare and tourism. During a Memphis roundtable on jobs hosted by Govenor Haslam in September 2012, the plant manager for the Unilever plant in Covington said he couldn’t find the kind of training programs he needed. John Churchill, executive director of Workforce Development at Southwest and architect for the IRT Program provided Unilever with the same job training programs that were the breakthrough for finding workers for Blues City Brewing, Kruger Products, Solae, Electrolux and several other local manufacturing companies. “It ended up resulting in Southwest Tennessee Community College customizing a training program that yielded Unilever the employees it needed,” said Tennessee Senate Republican leader Mark Norris of Collierville. “It turned out great.” If your company would like to learn more about the Industrial Readiness Training class, please call Kim Barnett at (901)3334316; or visit www.workforceinvestmentnetwork.com/industrialreadiness-training

Brimhall Food’s

Terry Brimhall

Named Entrepreneur of the Year Written by: Anna Yarbro

Our regional business community knows Brimhall Foods as one of the most successful niche players in its industry. Consumers know the Brimhall brand for its craveable line of down-home snacks. Company Owner Terry Brimhall sees the big picture of his business’ success; a quality product combined with excellent service to a loyal customer base. It’s the simple formula that’s guided Brimhall Foods to become the leading producer of pork rinds and ready-to-eat popcorn in the Mid-South. With his wife Becki and partner, Michael Patrick, along with 140+ dedicated employees in Memphis and the Southeast, Brim’s looks forward to serving the snack consumers of America for years to come. “Terry is the archetype Entrepreneur,” says John Threadgill, President of the Bartlett Area Chamber of Commerce (BACC). “He started a business in his garage while a student in college and then brought in his lovely wife as a business partner who complimented his talents. Terry has remained focused and growth-oriented and trusts the talents of others to help

him succeed. In short, he has intuitively followed the right path.” The snack food giant started small. Brimhall, a Bartlett High School graduate, was first introduced to snack food distribution by his father, who worked in the industry. “I was fortunate to have a couple of parents who always encouraged us,” said Brimhall. “It was nice that my parents had the entrepreneurial spirit.” While attending Memphis State University as a full-time student in 1978, Brimhall’s father, Paul, referred him to a businessman who was selling 400 cases of pork rinds a week. Brimhall saw the idea as a possible entrepreneurial venture. His father connected him with his friend, Kemmons Wilson, who introduced Brimhall to the necessary contacts to jumpstart his snack food endeavor. Brimhall was still enrolled at Memphis State when he started Joy’s Memphi Sales Company in 1978 with just one truck. “There wasn’t much risk in it,” said Brimhall. “If it didn’t work out, I’d just

move back in with my parents. I think that’s why they encouraged us (Brimhall and his four siblings) to be gainfully employed.” In 1981 Terry married Becki, and in 1982 the two of them began producing pork rinds in an old ham house on Hwy 70. They named the business Brimhall Foods Company. The distribution company, Joy’s Memphi Sales, continued to expand in their rented facility in the Crestview Distribution Center. In 1986 Terry’s dad, Paul, and mother, Joyce, chose to work in the business and focus on its growth until their retirement. 1987 was the magic year; the company built and expanded its pork rind production facility in the Bartlett Corporate Park. “We were very fortunate to get in on the ground floor of the Bartlett Corporate Park,” stated Brimhall. After expansions in 1989 and again in 1999, both Brimhall Foods and Joy’s Memphi Sales were housed in the same 78,000 square foot facility on five acres in the Bartlett Corporate Park. Today, Brimhall Foods produces pork rinds, cracklins, ready-to-eat popcorn, and a variety of extruded corn snacks in addition to distributing a full variety of snacks under the Brim’s brand. Product quality combined with excellent service to a loyal customer base has caused Brimhall Foods to become one of the leading producers of Pork Rinds & Cracklins in the United States. As Brimhall says, “We have had, and continue to have, a lot of help along the way with family, friends, and bankers!”

Because of Terry Brimhall’s extraordinary story of building a successful empire from the ground up, the Bartlett Area Chamber of Commerce named him their 2012 Entrepreneur of the Year, an award that honors individuals with the entrepreneurial spirit who have built longstanding, successful businesses and made significant contributions to the local economy. Brimhall has been a member of the Chamber since 1989.

The Transformation of a Bedroom Community into a True City:

The History of the Bartlett Corporate Park Written by: Charles Goforth, Senior Manager, Goforth Planning and Management, LLC

How it all Started

Although Bartlett was incorporated in 1866, the city did not experience explosive growth until the 1970s. The growth was primarily in new residential developments and in existing residential subdivisions that were being annexed into the City. I moved to the Bartlett area in 1979, and Bartlett annexed my home at the end of 1981. The 1980 Census reported that Bartlett had a population of 17,170, having increased tremendously from a 1970 population of only 1,150. By 1985 the City had increased to 20,818, and the growth trend was continuing. As the City annexed these areas they found that water and sewer utilities needed to be extended. The cost of the annexations and the efforts required to complete the utilities and provide fire, police and other services had overburdened the city’s finances and staff. In 1982, Bobby Flaherty ran for Mayor of Bartlett, was elected, and took office in 1983. As a resident of an annexed area, Mayor Flaherty saw the difficulties that the City was facing in the providing of services. As a new citizen of the City, I reviewed the potential candidates and selected Bobby Flaherty as my candidate based upon his promise to expand the industrial and retail base for the City. As a City Planner, I knew that a bedroom community would have a difficult time providing the type of services that a City, which was soon to be 25,000 citizens, required. I reached out to Bobby and promised him that I would support him in the expansion of retail and industrial investments in the City. During this same time A. E Beaty ran for Alderman and was elected with Mayor Flaherty. Alderman Beaty was a long time resident of the area and had recently sold BARTLETT

the Ellendale Utility District (water and limited sewer) to the City. He was to play a critical role in the future of Bartlett. In December 1990, Mayor Flaherty was quoted in an article in Tennessee Town and City, saying: “When I was first elected in 1982 and took office in 83, I took a look at our City’s payroll and tried to figure out how to increase the salaries of our employees. I realized that it couldn’t be done as long as we were just a residential community.” Soon after Mayor Flaherty was elected, he established and appointed a Bartlett Industrial Development Board. I received a call from Mayor Flaherty offering me an appointment to the Board in 1983, and I gladly accepted. I served on the first Board and have been a Board Member or served as staff to the Board for the last 30 years. The Industrial Development Board was appointed and incorporated in February of 1983 as one of Mayor Flaherty’s first actions. The original Board members and incorporators were, Stanley C. Hushen, Chairman and the following: James L. Dunn, Tim Wood, Dean Armstrong, Robert A. Morris, Elizabeth Anne Stewart, A. Keith McDonald, Kenneth Harris, Charles A. Goforth, James L. Reid, and Oscar Yates. As the Board was created, Mayor Flaherty, with the help of Aldermen Beaty, had identified a land owner on Highway 64 that was moving to Arkansas and wanted to sell their 106 acre farm at the corner of Highway 64 and Appling Road. Even though Highway 64 and Germantown Roads were still two-lane roads at the time, plans for their improvement were underway. The site was only a short distance from two interchanges on Interstate 40, and most of all, the owner was willing to work with the City in the sale of the land over time. The

City paid $5,000 an acre for the property with a 10% down payment, and the owner allowed the City to pay the balance as they sold each piece of land. It was a real joint venture of public and private entities, and the City of Bartlett will be forever indebted to the Appling family (Appling Road was named after this family’s ancestors.) Quite frankly, it was a big gamble, and this project did not meet everyone’s approval. Some did not want industry, some did not want the City to be a developer, and others simply did not have the courage to stand up for the future of the City. Mayor Flaherty did not waiver and with the help of Alderman Beaty and others, the plan was approved by the City Board of Mayor and Aldermen along with a commitment of $500,000 investment in streets and utilities for the development of Bartlett Corporate Park. The City was also successful in getting a $300,000 grant from the State for a water tank. At the same time, the Mayor was sensitive to the desire not to have large metal buildings and smokestacks in Bartlett. Mayor Flaherty worked with the Industrial Development Board (IDB) and developed the “Protective Provisions and Covenants” for the City of Bartlett Industrial Park. These provisions provided for the type of buildings allowed and limited the type of industries to “light industrial” development. These provisions are still in effect and the buildings are still viable and in good condition due to the care in their original design and construction.

Development Begins

Mayor Flaherty said we did not have a single industry in line for the park, and it was “pretty much a gamble” since the economy was just showing signs of life in 1983. Soon events would transpire to remove these concerns. During the development of the covenants and before the improvements were completed, the City was approached by Mike Mullis, an Industrial locator, about being the home for Richards Medical Company’s microsurgery division. Richards had expanded greatly to provide the microscopic ear tubes and other devices and tools required for Dr. Shea at the Shea Clinic for his ground breaking developments in inner ear surgeries. The City had developed a list of the types of industries that it desired, and Richards was exactly what the City wanted. They were a clean industry who brought in many visitors and doctors to see

A deal was made on the sale of 18 acres in 1984, and Richards proceeded with their plans. This deal involved the cooperation of the Tennessee Department of Economic and Community Development, the Bartlett and Memphis Chambers of Commerce, Shelby County Government, and the City of Bartlett. Richards actually assisted the City in the development of the provisions and covenants for the park so that their investment would be protected. Although the Richards facility has been sold several times through the years, it still exists today as Gyrus ENT, LLC, and still provides ear nose and throat surgical products worldwide from Bartlett. This business served as the cornerstone for the development of Bartlett Corporate Park. Soon after the completion of Richards Medical and the Corporate Park Improvements, the City decided to add a full time city planner that could assist in economic development. I had been assisting the City with planning issues part-time in 1984, which made for a smooth transition when Mayor Flaherty appointed me to the new position in 1985. One of my main tasks was to work closely with the Mayor and the IDB in the development of the Corporate Park. Land was soon sold to Brimhall Foods for a snack foods manufacturing and distribution facility. Brimhall is still located in the park and has expanded significantly

but Bartlett had been ruled out in favor of a site across the state line in Mississippi. Sid called to tell me that during cocktails with the key decision maker in the lobby of the Peabody Hotel, he and John had persuaded Brother to take a second look at Bartlett. Mayor Flaherty was out of town at a West Tennessee Mayors meeting and was unavailable. Steve Smith, City Finance Director and I met with Sid and the Brother Delegation at the Spike and Rail Restaurant, by the railroad on Stage Road. We presented our best information and then visited the site. This was on a Friday, and we set a meeting for early Monday morning in the Mayorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office.

State and County welcoming Brother

Brother Industries

In 1987, we received a call from Sid McMillian, the Memphis representative with the Tennessee Department of Economic and Community Development (ECD). Sid was working alongside John Threadgill who at that time was working for ECD in Nashville as an International Business Consultant and was responsible for coordinating the Brother Project. Sid had the representatives of Brother Industries in his car. They had previously looked at Bartlett as a potential site for a new typewriter plant,

As the Monday morning meeting started, Sid and I were getting everyone coffee, and by the time we returned to the room, Mayor Flaherty and Ken Sugiura, President of Brother Industries (USA) Inc., had already come to a deal on the price of the land. Incidentally, one of the key

people representing the Bartlett business community during the negotiations was none other than Keith McDonald, current Mayor of Bartlett, and at the time, Chairman of the Bartlett Area Chamber of Commerce. Brother originally proposed to hire 200 people to build electronic typewriters and early versions of their word processors in Bartlett. Over the years their mission has changed and expanded to include many diverse products including: sewing machines, knitting machines, printers, and supplies. Though typewriters are no longer manufactured, like any progressive company, Brother has evolved with the times and remain a competitive force within a niche market. Their belief in Bartlett as the ideal North American location led to the acquisition of an additional 100 acres to accommodate the initial construction of a one million square foot facility which has expanded to 1.5 million. As with Richards, none of this would have been possible without a strong economic development team that starts with local elected and business leaders representing both the public and private sectors and extending to the State and federal levels. By the end of the 1980s, all of the initial land in the industrial park had been sold. The City actually made a profit of

BARTLETT

IN SIGHTS

over $1,000,000 in the development of the original Corporate Park. The City considered acquiring additional land along Highway 64 for Bartlett Corporate Park East, but by this time private development was interested and outbid the City. This actually worked out better because the developers worked closely with the City and economic development professionals to attract high-quality buildings and fine companies. These properties have served as the initial location for many of the over 20 medical device companies that exist within the Bartlett area. With the profits from the industrial park the City built a fire station, and then used the balance to acquire the land and commence development of the Bobby K. Flaherty Municipal Center at Appling and Highway 70. This site was master planned and has since been developed with a 10 acre lake, the Bartlett Performing Arts and Conference Center, Appling Middle School, the Bartlett Criminal Justice Center, Bartlett Recreational Center and acres of open space, walkways and ball fields.

In Retrospect

Although most of the original industrial land has been developed, Bartlett still has over 300 acres of privately held land that is zoned for light industrial and office. Within its reserve area Bartlett has the potential for nearly 2,000 acres of industrial zoned

land which will easily carry the community through the first half of the 21st Century and possibly beyond. What started out as an idea developed into a big gamble by Mayor Bobby Flaherty, Alderman A. E. Beaty, Chamber Chairman Keith McDonald and others. The result of this bold decision stands today as an example for future generations. The Bartlett tax base was greatly expanded, and at the same time, the City improved all areas. Today residents do not have to leave Bartlett for employment or for shopping. Bartlett will always be indebted to those leaders who had the foresight and courage to plan for a viable community. When reflecting back on the days when the city leaders pushed for the park’s creation, Mayor Keith McDonald spoke to me recently and said “I remember some people complaining about us spending a million dollars. They said we were wasting taxpayer’s money and that we would never see anything good come of this. Within two years it seemed as though all those same people were taking credit for the idea.” Bartlett currently has over 60,000 residents and is the tenth largest City in Tennessee. It was recently ranked by movoto.com as the 15th best suburban community in America to live, work and play. Hundreds of Bartlett based companies employing thousands of residents are a direct result of town leaders taking a pro-active approach to the future wellbeing of Bartlett. Many of the original incorporators of the Industrial Development Board are still active today in making the Bartlett community a better place for all its citizens. Bob Morris, a charter member of the IDB is still an active member of the Board. As Mayor, Keith McDonald continues to play a key role in the City’s economic development. He and many others have continued to work for the good of Bartlett and have helped Bartlett become the great City it is today. Mayor McDonald comments, “We have seen thousands of jobs created over the years. Businesses that started in people’s homes and car garages have been bought and expanded by international companies. And these international companies, along with our locally owned, have found a successful home in Bartlett. It’s about location, and people, and we have the best a city can offer.”

ition of a n fi e D e h T : p is r C Jon Written by John Threadgill

We hear it often, how important it is to show leadership and to have leadership skills. Books, articles, even college courses discuss the path to being a leader. There are even programs in many communities designed to encourage leaders. Are leaders born or are they made? Do leaders emerge from the environment in which they are thrust or do they methodically evolve? Are those who seek to be leaders, truly leaders or simply fulfilling a megalomania obsession? These questions are all relevant and the debate will probably never be resolved. However, people know when someone steps into the leadership role, and their success is determined by the outcome of their mission. Such a role was evident in Jon Crisp, who just recently fulfilled his tenure as Chairman of the Shelby County Chambers of Commerce Alliance. Leadership comes natural to Jon. As an officer in the US Coast Guard, leadership was part of the job description. Jon’s business career in the hospitality industry also requires leadership skills, but it also necessitates the ability to negotiate within a very temperamental environment. This quality allowed Jon to take a diverse group of chambers of commerce, each with their own mission statement, culture and leadership style, and unite them into a common goal…easier said than done! Just think of the city-states of classical Greece and one can appreciate what it is like to rally single-minded organizations into a consortium with a common perspective. Jon possessed the skills to make this happen. The unique thing about Jon’s leadership style is that he never conveys a sense of dominance but rather one of cooperation and team work. Jon leads by convincing his peers of pursuing the right course. Jon’s accomplishments owe much to the principals of respect—respect for those he leads as well as his adversaries. A good

leader knows that everyone cannot see eye to eye…it is a simple fact of nature. However, everyone’s opinion deserves respect provided that that opinion is understood to be subject to error. Those who are convinced that they, and they alone, are guardians of the truth and everyone else is wrong, are never leaders but demagogues. Jon’s ability to recognize intolerance and his steadfast moral opposition to self-righteousness gave him strength to stand up against those who possess superficial power. From the very beginning of Jon’s Chairmanship, the Alliance was challenged by forces determined to undermine the independence and selfdetermination of Shelby County’s only growing population base – its suburban communities. Individually, each of the Alliance communities would represent a viable self-sustaining community, yet there were those who felt otherwise. The Alliance was accused of being self-centered and unrealistic in the desire to control their destiny. Jon stepped forward as the voice of the underdog. His arguments for selfdetermination not only made common sense but left the opposition scrambling for a rational counter argument which never materialized. His years as a political activist, first as an aide-de-camp for US Senator Bill Frist and then as a Republican strategist in local elections, gave Jon the perspective needed to navigate the political landscape. His careful observation of people’s behavior coupled with a sense of fair play allows Jon to understand and appreciate political motives, but it also mitigates him to understand that compromise is not a dirty word. Events often dictate when leaders emerge. Such is the case when Job Crisp became the Chairman of the Shelby County Chambers Alliance.

Economic Development O V E R V I E W of Bartlett & the Northeast Corridor Just recently ranked as the 15th best suburban community in America by movoto.com, Bartlett is among Tennessee’s most dynamic economic engines for new technologies and job growth. In just over three decades it has evolved from a small bedroom community into the State’s 10th largest city with a median household income over 40% above the national median. With a population approaching 60,000 citizens, it is Memphis’ largest suburban community. Its diverse economy and entrepreneurial tradition makes Bartlett a welcome home to new and existing businesses as well as to homebuyers. Bartlett serves as the hub for Northeast Shelby County which includes the towns of Arlington, Lakeland and the Memphis neighborhoods of Cordova and Raleigh. Within a 10 mile radius of the intersection of I-40 and Germantown Parkway are over 15,000 businesses, 185,000 employees and 150,000 households. The area is relatively young with an average age of 37 and an average household income of over $85,000. Bartlett also serves as the epicenter for one of the nation’s leading growth industries — life sciences. Among the pharmaceutical companies, laboratories, and healthcare facilities along the I-40 Corridor is a major concentration of medical device manufacturers. Medical

device companies are the largest primary sector employer in the Corridor and are recognized as one of the largest industry clusters in the county. Combined, life sciences employ over 5,000 people, and the number continues to grow. Numerous corporate and regional headquarters are located along the Corridor—many exceeding $1 billion in annual revenues. In addition, the entrepreneurial spirit is alive and well in the Bartlett area as reflected by the numerous start-up companies in medical devices, food processing, electrical equipment, hospitality and human services. Retail and hospitality also serve an important role in the economic strength of Bartlett. The Wolfchase Area is Memphis’ largest retail center as well as its prime hotel/motel and restaurant venue. The workforce of Bartlett and Northeast Shelby County is perhaps its greatest strength. The region provides existing and prospective employers with a wide choice of skills and college degrees combined with a strong work ethic typical of this part of the country. Bartlett & Northeast Shelby County is a thriving residential and business corridor with a bright economic future. Thousands of acres of developable land will carry the region well into the 21st Century with an estimated build-out population approaching 500,000.

Benefits of Membership The Bartlett Area Chamber of Commerceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s (BACC) primary mission is increasing Economic Development in Northeast Shelby County. BACC President, John Threadgill, and Director of Economic Development, Phil Johnson, work closely with city, county, state and federal governments as well as with business leaders to bring primary industry growth, capital investment, and job creation to Northeast Shelby County. When there is a positive trend for these three key components of economic development within a community, it translates to improved consumer buying power. The single greatest benefit of BACC membership is that it helps to fuel increased consumer buying power in your community.

Helping member businesses grow by providing networking, advertising, and sponsorship opportunities is the secondary goal of the chamber. BACC Director of Marketing and Communications, Krista Antonuk, and Director of Membership Development, Jerry Dupree, work together with member businesses to foster these opportunities, and they work hard to make sure that everyone involved has fun in the process. Networking mixers, major events, training seminars, electronic and print publications are all vehicles that are used to promote and support member businesses. The staff at the BACC diligently works to ensure that there is constant programming to serve and meet the needs of the membership. Most programs

are provided to the membership at low or no cost. Debra Malone-Reeve, BACC Operations Manager, acts as the liason between the chamber staff and member representatives ensuring that all members are kept current and informed of the array of activities available to them. By joining the Bartlett Area Chamber of Commerce, business owners and area professionals become exposed to other people who have a personal investment in the growth and success of this business community. This opens the door to professional development, financial success and enduring relationships.

Throughout the year, the BACC hosts a handful of major events that bring people together in unique environments that foster new personal and business relationships. The Bartlett Business Expo The 2014 Expo will be held on Thursday, March 6th at the Bartlett Recreation Center, located at 77 Flaherty Place. At this event, 85 businesses and service providers from Northeast Shelby County gather in one location to showcase their products and services. Over 1,200 attendees visit the Bartlett Business Expo on an annual basis. The Expo provides a wonderful opportunity for both large and small businesses to interact one-on-one with local consumers. Businesses can participate in the Expo for a small fee but should make reservations early because space is limited and sells out well in advance. Booth space can be secured by contacting the BACC at (901) 372-9457. Attendance at the event is FREE. BACC Annual Golf Tournament Easily the most anticipated event of the year! The 2014 event is held every May and will be played in a scramble style format with prizes awarded to the top 3 teams. The annual golf tournament provides chamber members and nonmembers with a great opportunity to network and establish business connections in a casual, friendly setting. Sponsorships, advertising opportunities and tournament participation are ways for area businesses and professionals to get involved with this popular event.

Haute Temptation Auction & Fashion Show Now going into the fourth year, the Haute Temptation Auction & Fashion Show is better than ever! Located in the posh and exclusive runway and lounge at the world headquarters of Allure Bridals, every moment of this fashion show is a VIP experience. Guests are treated to delicious food and beverages in the lounge prior to the amazing show that features cocktail, prom, and evening gowns from Night Moves by Allure as well as fashions from a variety of Wolfchase Galleria retailers. The exciting live auction allows guests to take home runway fashions, jewelry, and more! The event is held in the fall, and tickets are limited due to the intimate venue.
