LEMME MAKE SURE I'VE GOT THE RIGHT ONE.

APPARENTLY THEY'VE HEARD ENOUGH FROM ME.

ALRIGHT.

I LOVE THE LIBRARY MORE ALL THE TIME.

IT'S YOUR SECRET.

GET INTO THE TEAM CENTER, RIGHT? THAT THAT'S WHAT I REALLY NEED.

GET THE WRITE FIVE TAIL.

EXACTLY.

UM, GOOD EVENING.

I'M I'M BRIDGETTE VON WIENSTEIN.

I'M THE PRESIDENT OF THE FRIENDS OF THE BRENTWOOD LIBRARY.

UM, IT IS SUCH AN HONOR TO BE HERE TONIGHT TO REPRESENT THE FRIENDS.

THIS WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 14TH, THE FRIEND CELEBRATES OUR 50TH YEAR OF SERVICE TO THE JOHN P HOL BRENTWOOD LIBRARY.

DURING THE LAST HALF CENTURY, FRIENDS HAVE DONATED OVER $1.8 MILLION IN COUNTLESS VOLUNTEER HOURS TO SUPPORT OF THE LIBRARY.

THIS YEAR, FRIENDS PROVIDED THE FUNDING TO SUPPORT OVER 1500 PROGRAMS FROM SUMMER READING, TEEN COOKING CLASSES, AND THE EVER POPULAR ADULT MAHJONG RUN BY THE DEDICATED LIBRARY STAFF.

WE ARE PROUD TO BE PART OF SUCH A VITAL COMMUNITY RESOURCE.

OUR SUPPORT TO THE LIBRARY WOULDN'T BE POSSIBLE WITHOUT TWO THINGS.

OUR VOLUNTEERS AND FUNDRAISING.

FIRST, OUR VOLUNTEERS ANNUALLY FRIENDS MEMBERS RECORD OVER 6,000 VOLUNTEER HOURS AND THOSE

[00:15:01]

THE NEARLY THREE, THIS IS NEARLY THREE FULL-TIME EMPLOYEES WORTH OF HOURS GIVEN TO MAKE THE CITY INSTITUTION A BETTER PLACE FOR ALL BRENTWOOD RESIDENTS.

THESE VOLUNTEERS PROCESS NEARLY A HUNDRED THOUSAND INDIVIDUAL DONATIONS EACH YEAR.

ORGANIZE AND RUN QUARTERLY BOOK SALES STAGE COMMUNITY AND FRIENDS MEMBER EVENTS.

AND SO VERY MUCH MORE.

NO ONE ASKS THESE DEDICATED CITIZENS TO GIVE THEIR TIME AND TALENT.

THEY DO IT BECAUSE THEY KNOW HOW CRITICAL A THRIVING LIBRARY IS TO A THRIVING COMMUNITY.

BUT THE HOURS DON'T TELL THE WHOLE STORY.

FRIENDS, VOLUNTEERS ALSO DO IT BECAUSE IT'S A FUN ORGANIZATION.

OUR VOLUNTEERS DONATE THEIR TIME, HOWEVER FITS THEIR LIFE THE BEST DAILY IN SOME CASES WEEKLY AND QUARTERLY.

OUR YOUNGEST VOLUNTEERS ARE TEENAGERS AND OUR OLDEST IS 94.

WE CAN FIT VOLUNTEERS INTO ANY SCHEDULE AND OH, NEW FACES ARE ALWAYS WELCOME.

OUR 494 FRIENDS MEMBERS WHETHER ACTIVELY VOLUNTEERING OR SUPPORTING IN OTHER WAYS SHOW HOW IMPORTANT THE LIBRARY IS TO THE CITIZENS OF BRENTWOOD.

SECOND, AND MAYBE MORE IMPORTANTLY, OUR FUNDRAISING.

SO FAR THIS YEAR WE HAVE RAISED $116,000 IN FOUR BOOK SALES AND ARE CONTINUINGLY EXPANDING EBAY AND AMAZON SALES BOOK SALES ALONE RAISED $82,807 AND WE SET A RECORD OF NEARLY 2,920 $9,000 OVER A FOUR DAY SALE IN JULY.

WHOEVER SAID PEOPLE AREN'T READING HAS NEVER EXPERIENCED ONE OF OUR SALES.

THE JOY WE SEE ON THE FACES OF THE 6,000 SHOPPERS WE'VE WELCOMED THIS YEAR AS THEY TAKE HOME A NEW TO THEM BOOK, MOVIE, PUZZLE, OR CD IS WONDERFUL.

OUR STOCK, WE'VE ACTUALLY HAD PEOPLE TO ASK US IF WE HAVE BOOKS IN STOCK.

.

UM, OUR STOCK IS DEPENDENT ON COMMUNITY DONATIONS OF BOOKS, PUZZLES, GAMES, AS WELL AS WITHDRAWN ITEMS FROM THE LIBRARY COLLECTION.

WITHOUT THOSE DONATIONS, WE'D BE UNABLE TO RAISE FUNDS FOR THE LIBRARY PROGRAMMING.

OUR EBAY AND AMAZON STORES ALSO CONTINUE TO THRIVE.

FRIENDS ONLINE SALES HAVE RAISED OVER $33,000 SO FAR THIS YEAR.

AS WE CELEBRATE OUR MILESTONE 50TH ANNIVERSARY, I WANTED TO MENTION TWO MORE OCTOBER EVENTS TO LOOK FORWARD TO.

'CAUSE OCTOBER IS A REALLY BUSY MONTH FOR US.

TACULAR IS OUR ANNUAL FAMILY FRIENDLY FALL EVENT.

CHILDREN TRICK OR TREAT AT 15 STATIONS THROUGHOUT THE LIBRARY AND EVERY CHILD WILL GO HOME WITH A BAG FULL OF GOODIES, PROBABLY A SUGAR HIGH AND TWO BOOKS .

THIS YEAR WE'LL WELCOME THE GHOST AND GOBLINS AND THEY'RE UP TO AGE 12 AND THEIR ADULTS ON OCTOBER 24TH FROM THREE TO 5:00 PM LAST YEAR WE HAD OVER 900 PARTICIPANTS IN THOSE TWO HOURS.

WON'T YOU ALL DRESS UP AND COME JOIN THE FUN .

UM, NEXT IS OUR BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION.

WE WILL OFFICIALLY CELEBRATE OUR GOLDEN ANNIVERSARY WITH FESTIVITIES OPEN TO THE WHOLE COMMUNITY ON OCTOBER 27TH FROM FOUR TO 6:00 PM WE'LL BEGIN THE CELEBRATIONS IN THE FRIEND GATHERING, FRIENDS GATHERING ROOM, FOLLOWED BY RIBBON CUTTING, DEDICATING OUR NEWLY INSTALLED LEGACY BRICKS OUT ON OUR BEAUTIFUL READING TERRACE, JUST OFF THE LIBRARY'S GREAT HALL.

AND AFTER THAT THERE WILL BE CAKE.

WE HOPE YOU CAN JOIN US TO CELEBRATE.

WE KNOW THE LIBRARY IS THE HEART OF OUR CITY.

THE FRIENDS DO WHAT WE DO TO SUPPORT THIS VIBRANT INSTITUTION, BUT WE WOULD BE REMISS IF WE DIDN'T RECOGNIZE OUR HARDWORKING LIBRARY STAFF.

THESE DEDICATED PROFESSIONALS WORK EACH DAY TO PUT ON PROGRAMS FOR OUR COMMUNITY TO MAIN MAINTAIN A TOP-NOTCH COLLECTION AND TO ASSIST ALL THE PATRONS.

WE PLAY A SMALL ROLE IN SUPPORTING OUR BELOVED LIBRARY, BUT WE COULD NOT DO IT WITHOUT THE SUPPORT OF YOU.

MARY ANDREWS AND ALL OF YOU ON THE BOARD.

THEY'RE ON THE CITY COMMISSION IN THE, UM, IN THE SUPPORT OF EACH OF OUR GENEROUS BRENTWOOD NEIGHBORS.

THANK YOU FOR REC THIS RECOGNITION AND STAY TUNED FOR 2027 AS WE CONTINUE TO SUPPORT THE LIBRARY AND ITS MISSION.

THANK YOU.

SO, SO YOU MENTIONED HOW MUCH MONEY Y'ALL HAVE RAISED THROUGH THE BOOK SALES.

HAVE Y'ALL EVER COUNTED HOW MANY BOOKS YOU GET BACK INTO OUR COMMUNITY EVERY YEAR? THERE ARE, WHAT, 10 TO FIF? THERE ARE ABOUT 10,000 ITEMS THAT ARE FOR SALE AT ANY ONE BOOK SALE.

WELL, AND IT IS FANTASTIC BECAUSE I MEAN THAT IS COMMUNITY CHANGING RIGHT THERE.

THANK YOU.

UM, SO THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL Y'ALL DO.

SO, UH, BEFORE WE DO THE PROCLAMATION, I DON'T KNOW IF YOU WANNA MAKE COMMISSION COMMENTS BEFORE OR AFTER THE THE END.

IS IT TYPICAL TO DO COMMISSIONER COMMENTS? I GUESS WHEN WE DO COMMISSIONER COMMENTS? WELL, WHY DON'T YOU READ THE PROCLAMATION AND, AND LET'S SAY ALL THE NICE THINGS ABOUT 'EM BEFORE WE GET SIDETRACKED .

WELL, THANK YOU VERY MUCH, MAYOR AND COMMISSIONERS.

UM, AND THE, AND THE VOLUNTEERS MAKE THE CITY THAT VOLUNTEERS MAKE EVERYTHING AS A MATTER OF FACT.

BUT, UH, I, I AM UNOFFICIALLY REPRESENTING THE OLD CITY COMMISSIONERS TONIGHT.

I HAVE A BRIEF PRESENTATION TO MAKE AND A LITTLE HISTORY LESSON THAT I HOPE EVERYBODY WILL UNDERSTAND.

UM, IN FACT, I WAS ON THE CITY COMMISSION WHEN, WHEN BASICALLY THIS ALL GOT STARTED.

SO, UM, MY HAT'S OFF TO YOU TOO, .

WELL, ALL RIGHT, HERE WE GO.

UM, I WAS TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW I CAN MAKE ALL THIS WORK TOGETHER, BUT I'LL DO MY BEST MAYOR, UM, YEARS AGO, AND I DO MEAN YEARS AGO, UM, WHEN, WHEN THIS, WHEN THE COOL SPRINGS MALL WAS ABOUT TO BE DEVELOPED, IT, IT WAS GONNA BE IN FRANKLIN, THE MAIN ROAD, MOORES LANE WAS GONNA BE IN BRENTWOOD.

AND WE WERE GONNA BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL THAT TRAFFIC AND ALL THAT CONGESTION.

AND AT THE TIME I SUGGESTED TO MAYOR SWEENEY AND MR. WALKER THAT WE, THAT WE GO DOWN AND TALK TO THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION AND TALK TO THEM ABOUT DOING SOMETHING TO HELP WITH US AND THE SITUATION.

SO WE MADE AN APPOINTMENT, WE GO DOWN TO THE CITY, THE TO THE CAPITOL, AND WE'RE SITTING THERE AND, UH, THE FELLOW, I CAN'T REMEMBER HIS NAME, HE WAS THE, THE, THE DEPARTMENT HEAD OF THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION.

HE OPENS THE DOOR, WALKS IN AND DOESN'T SIT DOWN.

HE SAYS, UM, I DON'T, I'M NOT STAYING FOR THIS MEETING.

THIS MEETING'S BASICALLY OVER, WE'VE DONE ALL WE'RE GONNA DO FOR THE CITIZENS OF BRENTWOOD.

AND WE GO, WELL NOW WAIT A MINUTE.

LET'S THINK ABOUT THIS A SECOND NOW.

NO, WE'VE DONE ALL WE'RE GONNA DO FOR YOU AND TURNS AROUND AND WALKS OUT.

WELL, THAT LEFT US IN A PRETTY MUCH A, A, A HOT A SPOT.

SO I CAME BACK TO THE CITY AND I WROTE A LETTER AND, UH, MR. WALKER'S RECEPTIONIST TYPED IT UP, MAKE IT LOOK OFFICIAL.

SO I TOOK IT DOWN BACK DOWN TO THE CAPITOL TO TALK TO THE, GET TO TALK TO THE GOVERNOR.

I WALK IN AND HIS RECEPTIONIST SAYS, UH, YOU HAVE AN APPOINTMENT?

[00:30:01]

AND SHE SAYS, WELL, LEMME SEE.

ALRIGHT.

AND I HAD JUST LEARNED TODAY THAT Y'ALL DON'T DO COFFEE MUGS ANYMORE.

SO, SO I AM PRESENTING THE MAYOR A COFFEE MUG IN CASE YOU HAVE TO GO DOWNTOWN, GO DOWN TO THE CAPITOL AND IT'LL GET YOU IN THE DOOR.

ANYWAY, .

AND SO EVERYONE CAN SEE THIS IS A, A PICTURE OF THE NATIVITY SCENE, UH, OVER ON THE TURNER PROPERTY WITH, UH, BROADWOOD, TENNESSEE.

YEAH.

ANYWAY, SO, UM, A LITTLE HISTORY THERE TO GO WITH THAT.

AND, UM, ON TOP OF THAT HISTORY, IF YOU GO WAY BACK INTO THE BEGINNING OF THE CITY, UM, WE HAD, UH, WE, WE HAD A CHARTER THAT WAS UNIQUE AND HAD TO BE APPROVED BY THE STATE AND ALL THIS STUFF.

AND, AND ATTORNEYS WANTED TO QUESTION THE ZONING APPLICATION FOR BRENTWOOD.

AND, UH, OVER ONE, OVER MORE THAN ONE OCCASION, WHERE I WAS A CITY COMMISSIONER AND WE HAD AN ATTORNEY NAMED BOB JENNINGS.

AND MR. JENNINGS, UH, WOULD HAVE TO INTERVENE WHEN OTHER PEOPLE WOULD COME BEFORE AND SAY, WE GOTTA GET RID OF THAT ZONING IN BRENTWOOD.

WELL, MR. JENNING HAD, HE HAD A, HE HAD A SPECIAL WAY OF SAYING, LOOK, UH, DR. FLETCHER, YOU JUST THROW ME IN THE BRIAR PATCH AND I'LL SEE WHAT I CAN DO.

RIGHT? ANN, YOU REMEMBER THAT? YEAH.

ANYWAY, SO HE WAS ABLE TO ALWAYS PULL US THROUGH IN THOSE SITUATIONS AND, AND WE WERE ABLE TO MAINTAIN THE ZONING THAT HAS MADE THIS CITY SO SPECIAL.

EVERY ONE OF YOU GUYS HAVE HAD TO ANSWER THAT QUESTION WHEN YOU RAN FOR OFFICE.

WHAT ABOUT THE ZONING? ARE YOU GONNA KEEP YOU, ARE YOU GONNA MAINTAIN IT? SO GIVEN THAT, I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT AT THIS POINT IN TIME TO RECOGNIZE THE FACT THAT IN THIS ELECTION CYCLE, WE HAVE A, A RESIDENT RUNNING FOR GOVERNOR WHO'S LIVED IN OUR CITY, UNDERSTANDS OUR CITY, AND APPRECIATES OUR CITY, APPRECIATES THE ZONING.

SO ALL THE PEOPLE IN WILLIAMSON COUNTY, AND ESPECIALLY BRENTWOOD, TENNESSEE, YOU NEED TO TAKE IN CONSIDERATION WHEN YOU GO TO VOTE THAT, THAT THIS LADY HAS OUR BEST INTEREST AT HEART.

ANYWAY, IT COMES IN AND IT PROBABLY WILL, IT'LL COME BACK AROUND THAT WE'LL GET CHALLENGED AGAIN.

IT WON'T BE THE FIRST AND IT WON'T BE THE LAST TIME THAT PEOPLE WILL WANT TO CHALLENGE OUR ZONING.

SO I JUST SUGGEST THAT YOU KEEP THAT IN MIND.

AND, UM, I TRIED TO MAKE IT SHORT AS I COULD, MAYOR , UM, AND I'D SAY THIS ABOUT THAT.

I KNOW DOLLY PARTON WOULD BE PROUD OF Y'ALL.

AND, UM, SHE LOVES, AS Y'ALL KNOW, LIBRARIES AND THE READING FOR CHILDREN ESPECIALLY.

AND, UM, SO I DON'T KNOW THAT I DON'T REPRESENT THE FAMILY NECESSARILY, BUT I KNOW MOST OF THEM.

AND, AND, UM, I'D JUST LIKE TO, ON THEIR BEHALF, THANK YOU FOR WHAT YOU DO FOR OUR CITY AND, AND VOLUNTEERING AND ESPECIALLY LIFTING UP, UH, READING AND, AND, UH, I WISH I HAD SOMETHING FUNNY TO SAY.

I DON'T KNOW.

IT'S GONNA BE HARD FOR ME TO LEAVE WITHOUT SOMETHING FUNNY.

BUT, BUT, UM, I WANNA THANK Y'ALL AGAIN FOR ALL YOU'VE DONE FOR THE CITY.

EACH ONE OF YOU, YOU'VE, UH, I LEFT Y'ALL A LITTLE NOTE THERE ABOUT THE, EVERY DAY WE GIVE A LITTLE PIECE OF OURSELVES AWAY TO PEOPLE.

UM, THE LITTLE PIECES THAT, YOU KNOW, WE GIVE OURSELVES TO FAMILY, TO FRIENDS, TO CHILDREN, TO GRANDCHILDREN, TO PEOPLE WE DON'T EVEN KNOW.

PERHAPS IT'S A LAUGH.

PERHAPS IT'S A SMILE.

PERHAPS IT'S A HUG.

PERHAPS IT'S JUST A KIND WORD.

PERHAPS IT'S A RANDOM ACT OF KINDNESS.

AND SOMETIMES WE ARE UNAWARE OF JUST HOW SPECIAL THOSE LITTLE PIECES ARE, BUT THEY ALWAYS REPRESENT WHO WE ARE.

AND THE ONE TO WHOM THESE PIECES TRULY BELONG REPRESENTS GOD'S GRACE IN ALL OUR LIVES.

AND SO, I WANNA THANK Y'ALL VERY MUCH ON BEHALF, UH, I, I WAS,

[00:35:01]

UM, AND, UH, AND YOUR MOM.

AND ANYWAY, SO THANK Y'ALL.

AND, AND ALL OF THE PEOPLE THAT Y'ALL JUST, UH, BROUGHT IN ON BOARD, WAS THAT ONE LADY FROM SAN DIEGO? WAS SHE, WAS SHE PART OF THE, THE, THAT THE FIRE DEPARTMENT FIRE CAPTAIN? MM-HMM .

I'M IN CHARGE OF VICE .

THAT'S RIGHT.

I WAS IN CHARGE OF VICE AND YEAH, I WAS PROUD OF THAT.

WE DIDN'T HAVE YEAH, YOU WERE PROUD OF THAT.

WE, WE DIDN'T HAVE ANY.

AND TOMMY KESEY WAS THE VERY REASON FOR THAT.

ALRIGHT, MAYOR, COMMISSIONERS.

THANK YOU.

UH, I JUST HAVE A COUPLE ITEMS. THE FIRST ONE IS, UH, REALLY ON BEHALF OF OUR WATER SERVICES DEPARTMENT, IT'S A REMINDER, EVEN THOUGH IT DOESN'T FEEL VERY COOL OUTSIDE, UH, IT IS FALL AND IT WILL COOL OFF PRETTY SOON.

AND IT'S JUST A REMINDER FOR RESIDENTS TO WINTERIZE THEIR IRRIGATION SYSTEMS BEFORE THE COLD WEATHER HITS LATER THIS YEAR.

UH, IT'S, IF THE WATER REMAINS IN THE IRRIGATION SYSTEM, AS THE TEMPERATURES FREEZE, THE WATER WILL FREEZE AND EXPAND.

IT'LL CAUSE THE PIPES AND BACKFLOW PREVENTER DEVICES TO BURST.

AND IT'S NOT A GOOD THING.

AND IT'S VERY EXPENSIVE.

SO, UH, THAT CAN CAUSE THE WATER TO POUR OUT OR SHOOT UP AND, UH, IT CAN AFFECT THE SIDE OF THE HOME AS WELL.

SO IT'S, UH, ALSO RECOMMENDED THAT THE BACKFLOW PREVENTER DEVICE EITHER BE REMOVED OR INSULATED.

UH, AND THAT WINTERIZATION PROCESS CAN BE COMPLETED BY HOMEOWNERS LANDSCAPE OR IRRIGATION COMPANIES.

SO JUST A EARLY KIND OF, UH, REMINDER FOR THAT.

AND THEN THE OTHER ITEM IS, IT'S UH, IT'S FALL CLEANUP TIME.

AND SO WE, UH, WANTED TO HIT THAT.

UH, THIS PROGRAM ALLOWS BRENTWOOD RESIDENTS TO DROP OFF AND DISPOSE OF OVERSIZED ITEMS AND THEIR REGULAR, UH, WITH THEIR REGULAR TRASH PICKUP THAT THEY WON'T, THAT, EXCUSE ME, THAT THEIR REGULAR TRASH PICKUP WON'T REMOVE.

AND SO THIS YEAR'S FALL CLEANUP DATES ARE THE, UH, OCTOBER 17TH AND THAT'LL BE AT GRANNY WHITE PARK, UH, OCTOBER 24TH AT TOWER PARK AND OCTOBER 31ST BACK AT GRANNY WHITE PARK.

THE, UH, HOURS ARE, UH, 8:00 AM TO 4:00 PM AND AGAIN, IT'S A GREAT TIME TO GET RID OF THINGS LIKE UNWANTED FURNITURE, APPLIANCES, OTHER LARGE ITEMS, UH, THAT YOU CAN'T, UH, GIVE TO YOUR TYPICAL REFUSE, UH, PROVIDER.

UH, WE'LL TAKE JUST ABOUT EVERYTHING, BUT CERTAIN THINGS LIKE FUEL AND OIL AND, AND PAINT WE'RE NOT ABLE TO ACCEPT.

BUT MOST, MOST OTHER ITEMS WE ARE.
