Connected TN features AAB

I'm excited to tell you that All About Brownsville has been featured in Connected TN's March eCommunity Newsletter. I was a little scared when I received an e-mail asking me to do this. Those who know me, know I'm not much for tooting my own horn. But it was such an honor that I agreed. And I have to admit, it was good for me. It made me think about how AAB came about and just how far it's come since 2005. Anyway, here's the link - just in case you're interested in reading it. While on the site, look around and see what Connected TN is all about. There's a public Kick-off meeting Tuesday, April 1, 5:30 p.m., at Southwest TN Electric to begin the initiative in Haywood County.

Let me know what you think

Welcome to the new All About Brownsville Blog. One thing I love about publishing All About Brownsville each week is the never ending flow of comments and suggestions from readers. Everyone has wonderful ideas. And even more gratifying is the fact that everyone sincerely wants to make a difference in our community. I want to initiate all your suggestions, but, unfortunately, I can't. I can, however, allow you an opportunity to communicate with each other and perhaps collaborate on projects and ideas. After all, what have we got to lose? Brownsville and Haywood County are already the best place in the world to live, what can it hurt if we try to make it better?

So, here's your chance to comment, suggest, editorialize, etc. - on all things Brownsville and Haywood County. What are YOU thinking?
