Ward Temple Night

Friday night is the Carnton Ward Temple Night as many of you know. Our ward is scheduled for the 7:30pm session; we would like to invite you (and your wife) to join us before the temple session at the Genghis Grill in Franklin for dinner (600 Frazier Drive Franklin, TN 37067, http://www.genghisgrill.com). We will be meeting at the restaurant between 5:00pm and 5:30pm for dinner and then proceeding directly to the temple at about 7:00pm.

You are welcome to join us for just dinner or just the temple or both. We look forward to spending time with each of you serving the Lord and hope you can take time out of your busy schedules to enjoy time with your wife and ward family!

Please RSVP by Friday morning (11:00 am) if you will be joining us for dinner or the temple or both so I can let the temple and the restaurant know that we are coming and they are prepared.

p.s. This invite is going out to mostly Elders so if there are others (High Priests, single Sister's or Brother's or young adults) who you would like to invite please forward the invite as all are welcome to join us!

FEMA Crisis Counseling

Dear Sisters:

Below is an e-mail shared by Pat Woodmansee/Maury County Emergency Team, concerning potential full-time job opportunities in our stake boundaries. Please share this information with the bishops, employment specialists and sisters in your units. These positions will fill quickly, but may be a great opportunity for those looking for full-time employment for the next year.

Thank you,
Lynette Harris, Secretary
Franklin Stake Relief Society

As Centerstone looks to receive a FEMA grant to provide "Crisis Counseling" for the next 60 days (and more than likely an extension for another 10 months for a one year grant), I am going to be in need of 11 Crisis Counselors; these are full time positions paying hopefully around $20 per hour. These individuals will be working in 14 counties of middle Tennessee that Centerstone covers and were declared disaster counties by the President. The counties are:
Columbia Area
Hickman
Lawrence
Lewis
Maury
Perry
Wayne

Clarksville Area
Cheatham
Dickson
Houston
Humphreys
Montgomery
Robertson
Stewart
and sharing responsibility of Davidson county with the Mental Health Coop.

Their job will be community outreach; going door-to-door checking on people impacted by the floods and attending community meetings of flood victims, etc.
These positions do not require a mental health degree or experience. Training will be provided by FEMA to these individuals prior to there "hitting the streets" on psychological first aid.
Please pass this information along to anyone you might know of that lives in any of these areas that might be looking for a full time job for the next year and that you think would be a good fit?
Tell them they can contact me via my e-mail and to also include your name in their e-mail to me.

Thanks.

Nashville flood relief opportunities

As the case in any disaster, the recovery phase is the longest part of the experience, and one that requires a strong and sustained effort from volunteers. While the events of the past 48 hours have created a sense of urgency, the real effects of volunteers are going to be felt through the rest of this week and month as we do the nitty-gritty work of cleaning, rebuilding, and restoring.
