County’s Animal Control Facililty Has The Task Of Collecting Strays The James “Jim” Eagle Animal Control Facility collects and temporarily holds stray dogs and cats. Its mission is the humane apprehension, housing and euthanasia of unwanted stray animals. The Animal Control Facility will keep an animal for a minimum of three days before it is euthanized. If space is available, the facility may extend that time. A major goal of the county government’s Animal Control Facility is to curtail the transmission of rabies and infectious diseases in the animal population in Greene County by limiting access to stray cats and dogs

— which usually are unvaccinated and are potential carriers of disease. The county’s animal control officers also serve as rabies control officers in conjunction with the Greene County Health Department. Cooperation with other agencies and animal rescuers enhances their ability to find homes for deserving animals. The Animal Control Facility is at 990 Hal Henard Road and is operated by the Greene County Animal Control Department.

Many Opportunities Exist To Get Involved In Volunteer Service The Volunteer Center of Greeneville and Greene County helps to meet community needs by bringing people and resources together. The center acquaints people with opportunities to serve as volunteers. The Volunteer Center also works with the Greeneville and Greene County school systems in the development of plans for each of their schools to become a “School of Promise” by carrying out pledges to children that they will have access to a caring adult after school, by providing a safe place after school and by giving them a healthy start, a marketable skill and opportunities to give back to the community. Following is a list of many local agencies that utilize volunteers. Some receive services through the Volunteer Center, while others do not. All are independent agencies. The Volunteer Center also places volunteers in all the local elementary and middle schools. Mary Fitzpatrick is the Volunteer Center director. For more information, call the Volunteer Center at 639-9341.

The Tusculum College Community Chorus and the Pro Musica Chamber Orchestra performs Christmas favorites at the Annie Hogan Byrd Auditorium on the Tusculum College campus. School Outreach: Interested teachers may call to schedule a variety of performing arts workshops or consultation for educators or their students. Students may explore various aspects of theater with TC Arts Outreach artists, including presentation techniques and literature interpretation, as well as technical skills such as set design and construction, lighting and makeup. Sessions are scheduled on a first-come, first-served basis. Teacher conferences can be arranged with duBrisk. GLAWPIGT: The acronym stands for “Great Literature Alive, Well, Playing in Greeneville, Tennessee.” The program promotes reading and performance and is made up of select area students from grades 3-12, who work with children in grades K-12. Performance selections range from classic poems or readings to original works written and performed by the members themselves. Members travel to area schools, encouraging students to read the literature available to them. They perform for the

students and, in many cases, conduct workshops in which the participants then perform for their classmates. TC Arts Outreach Costume Shoppe The Costume Shoppe was created to provide costume support to area schools and for Theatre-at-Tusculum productions at the college.
