FOCUS EVENT
Providence Park:  A Model in Affordable Housing and Community Forestry
(October 21) Over 500 volunteers, Rep. Jim Cooper, the Mayor, The  
Home Depot Foundation, Tennessee legislators, Metro Council members,  
and representatives from the Governor's office, will gather to  
celebrate the work of 35,000 volunteers who built 138 homes in less  
than 4 years.  This dedication ceremony will announce the planned  
planting of 100 trees in the Nashville neighborhood. DeAnn Fordham,  
Program Manager of the Home Depot Foundation, will be at the event to  
talk about the value of trees and recognize the positive works of the  
Tennessee Environmental Council, Habitat for Humanity, and Nashville  
Civic Design Center.
