Re: Five Ways To Help Refugees In Nashville

Christy Frink — Wed, 01 Feb 2017 15:08:50 -0000

Hi Adrianna! Glad you want to help - You're awesome :) While several of these organizations are faith-based, they serve and receive help from all kinds of people. Because about half of the Voluntary Agencies (VOLAGs) that resettle refugees in US are faith-based, you'll see that theme pop up a lot in volunteer opportunities as well. Having worked in that sector for a few years, I can assure that most agencies will accept help wherever they can get it.

If you'd feel more comfortable with a local organization that isn't faith-based, though, I'd encourage you to check out the Nashville International Center for Empowerment and TFLI's ESL-to-go program.

Hope that helps!

Ironically, I went down to click "share" on Google Reader after reading this. And then I was like, "Oh, I can't share anymore so I'll leave a Reader comment. Oh, I can't leave a reader comment anymore so... ah, fuck it. I'll just do this the old-fashioned way."

So anyway, +1.

Ewww. That sounds awful!

Yeah, I've read before that it varies by county. But... seriously? Passengers can booze it up as long as it's in a plastic container?

Thanks for the catch! Sometimes what's in my head and what comes out through my fingers are two completely different things. Glad you enjoy reading!

Isn't it gorgeous? According to Flickr, it was taken at Percy Priest Lake on Tuesday night. http://www.flickr.com/photo...

Oh god, you're probably right! Long live the Giant Bellevue Beaver.

Yeah, standard is about two months for late bills before water is shut off. That, I understand. But ten days!? And they're also proposing a fee to turn it back on once it's been shut off. I'm all about people paying their bills on time, but that's just kicking people while they're down.

Yeah, I got used to the 10-digit dialing after living in Nashville for four years with a 757 area code. Most folks with cell phones just do it anyway.

Re: Happy Hour: 615 No More

Christy Frink — Thu, 03 Feb 2011 09:55:58 -0000

You're correct! That's what I meant by saying "there will be a new area code for folks moving to the area."

Ha, correction made. To be fair, the picture wasn't in the article when they first published it!

That made me giggle. Morgan was behind the music on this one, and therefore it was a midi file because apparently those still exist!

Yeah, Christmas is definitely more of an East Tennessee thing. We've moved past that, here.
