See Announcement at bottom also ....

Saturday - May 29, 2010 - 8:00 a.m.
Tanglewood Neighborhood
4911 C Tanglewood Dr., Nashville, TN 37216

Some of you will remember Tanglewood.  We painted here, Cathleen Windham's neighborhood, back in the Fall.  She's invited us again to her interesting little section of East Nashville.  (In case of rain or T-strom, we'll just dash into her house/restroom.)  Thanks, Cathleen!









Directions:
Fom south/downtown area of I-24/65: Ellington Parkway to Broadmoor exit. Turn right onto Broadmoor. Stay on Broadmoor to Gallatin Road. Turn left onto Gallatin Road, then right at the next light (Hayboro). There's a Shell Station on that corner. Stay on Haysboro all the way to Brush Hill. Turn left onto Brush Hill. You will slip under Briley Parkway and then immediately on your left is Tanglewood Court--turn left. Then take the first right, Tanglewood Drive North. Go to the Tanglewood Entrance, split rail fence on your right. My cabin is the first cabin on the right after the split rail fence. There are NO street/house numbers. My cabin has two rockers and a bench on the front porch.

There's enough parking for about 3 cars in my drive. The rest will need to park outside of Tanglewood (before the split rail fence) on the right side of the drive (near the historic marker) and walk in.

From Airport area: I-40 to Briley Parkway North. Take exit 14 B (Gallatin Pike South). You'll pass Home Depot on your right, then will come to the light at Haysboro (Shell Station on your right). Stay on Haysboro all the way to Brush Hill. Turn left onto Brush Hill. You will slip under Briley Parkway and then immediately on your left is Tanglewood Court--turn left. Then take the first right, Tanglewood Drive North.

Announcement:
You need to act quickly if you want to get in on this - I'm late passing on this announcement from Brenda Butka ......... Call her with any questions.
Here's her announcement:
"Yes, I know—you’re tired of being asked, especially for Bell’s Bend.

But here’s the deal: Fundraiser for farming in the Bend on June 6. Silent auction, connecting, we hope, the generous and affluent with your artwork.

We know you are often asked for donations of your time and skill, and are offering to return 40% of the proceeds to you to offset your true costs. As farmers, we know that we have to plow under cover crops and return compost to the garden to keep the harvests coming—we’d like to keep all of you artists well-cultivated and producing!

Please let me know if you have work that you would like to contribute to the auction.

Thanks for adding to Nashville’s creative spark!
