GREAT SUCCESS FOR A LITTLE NIGHT OF MUSIC
This year's event was a huge success as guests joined Holly Williams and Montgomery Gentry on the stage of the Grand Ole Opry for an incredibly unique and intimate concert. A huge “Thank You!” to all of our sponsors: CAA, Dollar General, HCA TriStar Health, Ryman Hospitality Properties, Nissan, Universal Music Group, Comcast, CMT, Publix, Bass Berry + Sims, BOHAN, Bright Event Productions, Lipman Brothers, Ole South, Sitel, Southwest Airlines, Waller, Wirtgen Group, and Yazoo Brewing Company.
During the event, everyone sipped signature Nashville-inspired cocktails, sampled an array of southern delicacies, enjoyed fun with friends at the photo booth and picked up great gear and adventures in the silent auction.
The annual Patron Party, a pre-party for ALNM guests who purchase Patron level tickets, was a wonderful evening as well. Patron level guests gathered at the Historic Craighead House and home of Patron Chairs Steve Sirls and Allen DeCuyper. Guests were able to snag a rare peek inside the beautiful historic home while mingling, enjoying hors d’oeuvres from d.kates catering and an acoustic set from MamaDear, one of CAA’s up-and-coming new artists!
This year's event exceeded the revenue goal by more than $10,000! We are so grateful to the Nashville community for their generous support. To see all of the event photos, check out the link below.

Frank, Tutoring Volunteer at Glencliff High School

VOLUNTEER SPOTLIGHT

Meet Frank - a retired high school teacher from Boston, MA. Frank moved to the Glencliff neighborhood a few years ago. After losing his wife recently, he started looking for ways to spend his time meaningfully. 
His first engagement with Glencliff was when he wrote and mailed a handwritten letter to the Executive Principal introducing himself and highlighting his interest in volunteering in the high school through tutoring in reading or social studies. Later on, he walked over to the school and worked with PENCIL staffer, Jill Watral at the Family Resource Center (FRC) onsite to fill out a background check. 
Frank is now volunteering with Mrs. Victoria Munoz's class a few times a week as a tutor. Frank, we are so grateful for your persistence in getting plugged in at Glencliff - we know you are going to be a huge asset to the students there!
