New Williamson County Schools Opening 2010

Williamson County Schools have updated their school zoning and bus route information to reflect two new schools opening Fall of 2010. Pearre Creek Elementary in West Franklin and Allendale Elementary in Spring Hill will open their doors to over 900 K-5th graders in August.

When searching for a new home, it is important to remember that school zone information in the MLS is deemed accurate but not guaranteed. The best way to insure you are selecting a home in the school zone you desire is to rely on the county school system's information.

To check your address or a potential address if you are buying a home in Williamson, County, please visit Williamson County Schools' WebQuery site found at http://www.wcs.edu/webquery/ for school zone and bus route information.

You're Invited...Christmas Cheer & Manger Ingathering for Graceworks

Please join me,
a few of my fellow Bob Parks Realty agents
and their friends, family and special clients
for some early "Christmas Cheer"...

We will officially kick-off the Christmas season with some warm cider, Christmas cookies and a heartfelt outpouring of compassion and support for those struggling to provide Holiday gifts for their loved ones this season.

Please plan to stop by the Bob Parks Realty Brentwood Office
between 4:00 and 8:00 p.m. on Tuesday, December 1
(8119 Isabella Lane, Brentwood, 37027)

And, please bring an unwrapped gift item for infants to seniors in the $15-$20range, (or Wal Mart gift cards) to help stock The Manger,
Graceworks Ministries' Community Christmas Store for citizens in Williamson County who are struggling this season.

Do you know about the Manger?

Williamson County is so fortunate to be served by Gracworks Ministries.

Their Mission: "To share the Grace of God by providing comprehensive services to residents in need in Williamson County, Tennessee"

Someone from Brentwood United Methodist Church submitted the following to include in our church newsletter this week about The Manger:

"Why The Manger?"

"It was in the chaotic time before the shopping started, one night at The Manger. The volunteers were gathering, the shoppers were registering and hearing the Good News of the Gospel, when the Director of Graceworks Ministries took me aside and said that Sharon was here, that she didn't have much stamina and maybe we should let her go ahead and start shopping. I looked toward the door and there was Sharon -- wheel chair, oxygen tank, end-stage cancer. She had come to The Manger to Christmas shop for her family.
Why? Why would she, being so sick, use maybe the last strength she had, to come to The Manger? Surely there was a Sunday school class that would adopt her kids and get them whatever they wanted. Surely there was an angel tree somewhere that would provide the gifts. Why would she put herself through the effort? Why?
Because she wanted these gifts to be about her love, and not be about her illness. She wanted to provide, she wanted to select. She wanted the presents her kids unwrapped on Christmas morning to have come from her because she loved them, and not to have come from strangers because she was sick. That's why we ask you to give your time, to write a check, to donate gift items to participate in The manger.
If we're not there for The Manger, then The Manger won't be there for Sharon."

I couldn't have said it better myself and I sincerely hope you will stop by Tuesday to say Merry Christmas and to support this most incredible ministry for our community!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!
