I love e reading through the happenings of the club each month n as I compile the newsletter, especially when people r recount the fun and learning that club events have o provided. C s Ashley talks about volunteering in her column this month, t’ Ashley Teel, TVCC n and she is right on the money! Without the commitment of a de Vice President Presi dedicated core of TVCC volunteers, our events would not be of the quality that I’ve come to expect over the last few years that I’ve been involved with the club. Thank you to everyone, especially our board members, and Well folks, I can’t believe we are already coming into August to everyone else, please consider giving back to the club by serving on the board or and the last month of service for the 2014/2015 TVCC Board. This past year has been organizing an event. full of records and first, that when I stepped into office I couldn’t imagine. We started off in October with our first women only event, Whiskey, Women and Whitewater and This doesn’t come without my own shameless plug... our largest Ocoee Race on record! This winter we brought TVCC a winter roll practice I am looking for an assistant to help with putting the newsletter together each month. at a location and cost that meet the needs of TVCC. We then went into new winter Aside of everyone’s submissions, this publication really is a one-(wo)man show. Many creeking trips, Movie Night at Dumpy’s and Pint Night with Rock Creek benefiting R/C! of our members look forward to getting the newsletter each month, and it also serves If that was not enough, TVCC has given their full support to Save the Ocoee and we as a tool to help promote and showcase our club to others. Think how much better it had our largest Paddle School on record. The 2014/2015 year has been a great one could be with another person involved! and would not be possible with a Board of dedicated and passionate members, who are willing to give their time and resources. I want to thank each and every one of All you need to be is enthusiastic and creative; I can teach you what you need to know them that has given something of their self to make it all possible for our continuing about the software, or you can work on things that aren’t software-heavy. It doesn’t growing club. matter. If you want to be a part of this publication, contact me at [email protected]. Every TVCC member I talk to is excited about our 2015/2016 year. The organization is 100% volunteer though, from the Board to Support All the best! Boaters, everyone is giving their time to this great club.

    A regional guide to summer fun in the Upper Cumberlands 2009 2 TRAVEL GUIDE 2009 CROSSVILLE CHRONICLE Sit back, relax and ENJOY YOUR STAY elcome to Cumberland County, Tennessee! Wheather you enjoy spending your time in the great outdoors enjoying Wnature, catching a round of golf, shopping, enjoying world-class live theatrical productions or delving into history, there’s something for everyone to enjoy. Our professional theater, the Cumberland County Playhouse, serves up drama, musicals, original produc- tions and a concert series. It also holds the distinction of being the largest rural professional theater in the country. Concerts and local productions run the gamut for the historic Palace Theatre on Crossville’s Main St. School concerts and special presentations of area musicians are among the many, many activities going on in the 1930s art-deco structure which stands as the “jewel of Main St.” When the theaters go dark, there are other places and things to explore. Crossville Outlet Center has more than 20 stores offering brand-name merchandise. Antique shops are plentiful throughout the county, and there are several consignment shops for folks looking for a bargain. Cumberland Mountain State Park is one of the pre- mier parks in the Tennessee park system. Cabins are available for lodging, and the park also offers camping, paddleboating, canoeing, an Olympic-sized swim- ming pool, fishing, hiking, picnicking and play areas, and tennis courts. There is also a meeting facility and restaurant for the family reunions, a dinner out and other activities. The park’s Crab Orchard stone arched bridge is a crowning jewel for one of the county’s best treasures.

  • Clement, Frank Goad (1920-1969) Papers, 1920-1969
    CLEMENT, FRANK GOAD (1920-1969) PAPERS, 1920-1969 Processed by: Harry A. Stokes Archives & Manuscripts Unit Technical Services Section Tennessee State Library and Archives Accession Number: 94-007 Date Completed: May 15, 1995 Location: XIX-A-E Microfilm Accession Number: 1512 INTRODUCTION This finding aid covers the personal papers of Frank Goad Clement (1920-1969). Mr. Clement served three terms as Governor of Tennessee: 1953-1955; 1955-1959; and 1963-1967. Previously he was a former F. B. I. agent, Chief Counsel for the State Public Utilities Commission; and a practicing Attorney in Dickson and Nashville, Tennessee. The Tennessee State Library and Archives received these materials on March 14, 1991, from the Clement family, through the agency of F. Lynne Bachleder for the State of Tennessee via contract with Designing Eye of Martinsville, Virginia. Mr. Clement’s papers include certificates, clippings, correspondence, financial records, invitations and programs, legal files, political campaign materials, photographs, schedules, and scrapbooks and speeches, all reflective of his professional career. Mr. Clement’s papers, along with other Clement historical artifacts, were housed for many years in the old Halbrook Hotel in Dickson, Tennessee. Mr. Clement’s mother, Maybelle Goad Clement, and her parents formerly owned and operated the Halbrook Hotel. The Frank G. Clement artifacts are presently in storage at the Tennessee State Museum. The inclusive dates of the material is for the period 1920 through 1969, although the bulk of the material is concentrated between 1952 through 1969. Many of the clippings in the scrapbooks were loose and had to be reaffixed to the pages.

This hike may be rescheduled for a later date, possibly in 2011. An alternate wildflower hike by the Sequatchie Valley Institute, at their farm called “Moonshadow” near Jasper, TN, is taking place on April 3 day at 11:00 a.m., and also on Saturday, April 17, at the same time. There will be easy and more strenuous versions of these hikes. The hikes will be accompanied by expert naturalist John Johnson of UT. Moonshadow is a sustainable agriculture/organic farm/project that I (Rebecca Levings) have visited, and my son and I picked strawberries, and purchased delicious free-range sausage from. It's a very interesting place. A small donation is requested. For more information, see the wildflower hike information at: http://svionline.org/events/795/wildflower-hike-3/. Also, the Alabama Wildflower Society, to which Club members Leon and Pat Bates belong, is hosting an intriguing set of events, including wildflower hikes, on the weekend of April 9-11. See more information below. April 17, Saturday - Three Forks to Springer Mountain & Back, 10.4 miles, strenuous Hike leader: Randy Morris.
