Typically Around/About is a collection of links I love, sites I like, interesting reads or cool happenings nearby, but since Extreme Makeover:  Home Edition is in town (the family will learn who they are TOMORROW!!!) I thought it'd be fun to share how you can help support the build if you live in or near Chattanooga… or in some cases, even if you don't!

~ Make a difference for thousands of local familes:

• Donate heavy non-perisable items to the Extreme Food Drive.  Our goal is 310,000 pounds of food, to surpass all other Extreme Makeover:  Home Edition community food drives to date!  Collection venues are popping up all over town!
  

~ Learn how you can save more to give more!

• Attend a FREE Couponing Workshop on February 15 offered by the generous gals at Time2Save!!

~ Attend a Special Event:

• Mountain Grove Bluegrass Band Benefit Concert on February 12 (two times to choose!)
• Make it Over with Music at The Honest Pint, February 13 (music from local bands all…day…long!)
• Attend the Big Hearts Bash, February 17 (includes great food, music & silent auction offerings)
• Attend the Colt Ford Benefit Concert on February 16th.
• Attend Echoing Angels concert on February 18 at Metro Tab; admission is 5 HEAVY non-perishable items for Extreme Food Drive.
