“Several events have been postponed due to the pandemic,” noted Executive Director Dr. Walt Mauldin. “Past benefit banquets focused on a variety of needs to assist The Home.” Mauldin went on to state, “One of our critical needs is to provide adequate lighting throughout the campus. Large lantern-style lighting will be added to brighten a number of these darker areas. The lights cost $4,000 each. Our leadership has stated that we want to provide a lighted pathway around the campus.”
Individuals, churches and businesses are invited to provide new items that will be sold at a silent and public auction. State of Tennessee House of Representatives, Mr. Dale Carr, will be on hand to serve as the official auctioneer. Doors will open at 5:00 pm for guests to view the auction items.
Anyone interested in joining in the celebration event is asked to email an RSVP prior to Monday, April 18 to pkoverbey@smch.org or by calling the SMCH office: 865.453.4644 Ext. 118 to register.
