Kicking off the Holiday Season with the Salvation Army!

If you know me, you know I LOVE the Holiday season, yes I am "that" person that starts listening to Christmas music in October, and nothing can kick off the Holiday season like the sound of Christmas music and the Salvation Army bells. On Monday night I had the wonderful opportunity of being a volunteer and greeter at the first annual "A Gathering of Angels Benefit Concert!" the concert took place at Christ Church on Old Hickory Blvd and was a free show for all those willing to come and hear some of the best Christian and Country artist in Nashville. This benefit concert featured Victory recording artist Jimmy Wayne, Belmont graduate Julie Roberts, Grammy award winning Christian artist Matthew West, and one of the most famous and successful country groups Restless Heart!

All of these artist share not only their love for music but also love for children and those less fortunate, all of these artist came together for free to raise money and awareness for the Salvation Army and to kick off the annual Christmas event, "The Angel Tree."

The Angel tree is a project that the Salvation Army adopts every year to insure that each child is given the Christmas that they deserve. I challenge you to at least adopt one angel from the angel tree so that no "angels" are forgotten this year! The Salvation Army did a wonderful job of putting this event together and making sure that everyone at the event did not leave without an open heart for such a great cause! I want to thank everyone that was there at the event last night, as well as the artist and all the volunteers without you all our community would not be what it is today!

If you are downtown MUSIC CITY on December 11, you will find me there ringing that wonderful Salvation Army bell before the Predators game! Come out and see me, and DO NOT FORGET to grab an angel this year!

WOW! That is the only word I can say to explain last night,what a great group of people I met in such a wonderful community but the night didn't start off like that, let me explain! Well you see I'm a girl, and I get caught up in what outfit I should wear, what shoes I should wear and of course how I should wear my hair, and you see I didn't give my self enough time to look at the map and make sure I knew exactly where I was going so I did what any person would do, I put it in the GPS and that is where the plan went down hill.

As I am driving along, following my GPS ("Cynthia" is her name) all of a sudden "she" tells me that she does not know where she is going. If you know me, you know by this point I don't know where I am going! Long story short, Cynthia the GPS remembers where she is and we make it right on time to Del Webb Lake Providence, where I was greeted with the nicest people I have ever met in my life! After the residents had eaten dinner I was wonderfully introduced by Mrs Shirley Hawkins, a resident there at DWLP and a person very involved in their community; after my introduction I gave a short concert and then we enjoyed the rest of our time together laughing and talking! I took a lot of pictures and signed a lot of autographs, which of course made my night! I am so thankful that I was able to spend my night at Del Webb Lake Providence, it is truly a wonderful place to live and an enjoyable place to visit!

If you will be at Miss TN make sure you look in the Miss TN Program book to see more pictures from Del Webb Lake Providence, because they are sponsoring a page for me! Thanks again to Shari Arnold who made all of this possible and Del Webb Lake Providence for making me feel right at home, I'll be back!

Much Love,

Victoria
