Coffee hosted by
1st Choice Realtor & South Jackson
Tuesday, June 28, 2016
What a great turnout for a summer Coffee at South Jackson!
Members were treated to lunch catered by Subway, new members spoke about their business, and we all had the opportunity to learn more about buying houses with 1st Choice Realtor and all of the exciting events coming to South Jackson Civic Center!
We were even "Thrilled" with a sneak peek performance from HIStory Told by Her X (coming Sept. 17) by Cat Murray & her dancers.
It was definitely a Coffee we won't forget and we want to give a big thanks to 1st Choice Realtor & South Jackson for sponsoring!
If you missed the Coffee, don't miss the latest news!

Congratulations to The Book Shelf!

About The Book Shelf
The Book Shelf, the used book store in Northgate Mall, will celebrate its third birthday in September. It is a project of The Literacy Council, a not-for-profit organization whose mission is to support and advocate for the Adult Basic Education Program in Coffee County. There are over 6,000 adults in Coffee County who do not have a high school diploma or an equivalency. Proceeds from the book store help to enhance and support the program.
The Book Shelf has been well received by the local community as well as customers from all the surrounding counties and many out-of-town visitors. The book store has every genre imaginable, and most of its books range in price from .50 cents to $3.00. Some books signed by the author, first editions, coffee table books, and rare books may be outside that price range. One service the book store offers, is to maintain a list of special books wanted by customers and to call the customers if the book becomes available.
Many people are downsizing, so we are happy to have a place to donate their books. Those wishing to donate are asked to bring no more than two bags/boxes of books at a time due to space limitations and lack of storage. Sets of encyclopedias are not accepted nor are old textbooks as there is no market for those items. The Book Shelf is staffed entirely by volunteers, all of whom are avid readers and most willing to share their recommendations of books that they have enjoyed.
New Camp Forrest Book & Author Signing
The Images of America: Camp Forrest by Elizabeth Taylor is now available for purchase at The Book Shelf and since they are a not-for-profit, the store cannot sell at retail cost but suggests a donation of $15.00. Arcadia Publishing published the new Camp Forrest book.
Author Elizabeth Taylor attended the Chamber Coffee on Tuesday, June 28 at South Jackson & stayed in town for a book signing at the book store that afternoon.
Hours of Operation:
Please come and browse with us; try a new author or genre/ The Book Shelf is open Monday and Friday 10 am to 6pm; Tuesday, Wednesday, & Thursday 10 am to 4pm and Saturday 10 am to 3pm. A big thank you to each and every customer who shops with us and to the Tullahoma Chamber of Commerce for their support.

June Ambassador of the Month
My moto is "share the goodness." That's why I love this community. There are so many aspects of this community that are about growth and well-being that it's something to celebrate.
I grew up all over but I call this area my home. My mother and father are both retired Air Force. We moved almost every 3 years until I was about 16 years old. I feel blessed from the experience because I really enjoy meeting new people. I feel more grounded now knowing this area is where I belong.
Most people that know me will tell you if I am not working then I am hiking. I love the outdoors! I love new trails!
I love the community interaction in Tullahoma. There is always something going on that helps grow future leaders, helps local business, and helps this community thrive. The Tullahoma Chamber is a big part of that. Tullahoma is growing in amazing ways and it's great to see it and be part of that!
I work for Citizens Community Bank Mortgage right on South Jackson Street, in walking distance from the South Jackson Civic Center. I have worked here for almost 4 years. I feel absolutely blessed. I love what I do! I am a Mortgage Originator, assisting people with their home financing. I can't tell you how much I enjoy building those relationships. It's one of the biggest moves that people make to buy a home and I am blessed by Diane Gas and Dennis Walker of Citizens Community Bank, for giving me the opportunity to help make a community difference.
One thing that people may not know about what I do is that it's a team effort. I have worked for other banks. When you have a great team it makes a difference. Citizens Community Bank shares the same values when it comes to community help and community growth!
I like being an Ambassador for the simple reason of growth and its experiences. Being in the Chamber, being involved, gives us all the opportunity to be part of its economic development and help us grow as leaders. I feel strength and encouragement as a young professional woman to be a part of this.
I can't remember the best advice that I have ever been given. I am learning every day. I have amazing people in my life that make the difference to never stop growing and to look ahead for the goodness. THANK YOU TO THEM! If I can share any advice to young business professionals it is to get involved...support your local community. Don't give up when life gets hard! Make a difference where you can!
