“Somewhere over the rainbow, skies are blue, and the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true.”

~L. Frank Baum

YOUR Community Magazine is a monthly publication of:

Robertson Media Group, LLC

Ashley Robertsonmarketing & sales director

K. Yorkwriter/photographer

Dear Readers,

Ninety days. I said it would take ninety days and lo and behold…. For once in scheduling and timing... I was right. I predicted and planned as part of my business plan just a few short 90 days ago that I needed three months to get my business started and determine success for our magazine launch. Clearly we felt success when the first issue in May launched. A huge accomplishment worthy of celebration. Then that second issue prints and you breathe a sigh of relief that it wasn’t just a first time fluke. The third issue is well… the start of the monthly drone really. Every month we are going to have to sell the ads, cover the events, edit, edit and edit again, design and publish a magazine? Yes that’s what goes through your mind at 2 am when you are on deadline. But when the sun shines and you go to press on your 4th issue with THIS adorable cover, you smile and know it’s all worth it and in 90 days’ time a dream is realized. The personal journey of starting Robertson Media Group and launching YOUR Williamson and YOUR Community Magazines is one that matters not to the community at large or appropriate in such a forum as this letter. However, the compulsion and desire to be here, present today as the Publisher of your community magazine is relevant in that I hope my personal success has been truly a community success. I want this publication to be something the community can be proud of. Something that they want to read every month. Something they look for and talk about and enjoy as they flip through the pages of a month in the life of their community. I hope we have succeeded in showcasing great events, great causes, great deeds and wonderful people. I hope we make building business and prospering possible through our affordable opportunities to advertise and our integrated marketing for local businesses – where we don’t just make money selling an ad, but truly care about your business succeeding and being a part of our county’s greatness. I have laughingly said many times, in this business, in this age, no one is here to get rich in publishing a community magazine! And that is so true. If money motivated me in that way, well…. I guess I would be doing something else. I have a “day” job so I can get my baby going and I relentlessly push myself and my staff to be better, do more and make it happen. After all, no dream came true, ever came to fruition, without effort and prayer and determination – sometimes sheer force of will. For those that actually know me, I have got all of those in sometimes annoying amounts! So here we are 90 days! Take that and step back because 90 months from now I look forward to celebrating another issue and in 90 years… well maybe my nephews’ grand children or perhaps my own great grandchildren will upload (or whatever happens in publishing in 90 years) their next issue of YOUR. In the meantime – enjoy THIS issue. Savor its summerness and all the great events of the last month. Gear up for fall Williamson County because we will bring it to you in September’s pages – in 30 days. Call me, email me, reach out and let me know what we did right. What we did wrong. And what you would like to see as we continue to evolve – for YOU!

when the announcement was made that the 2011 Carnton Sunset Concert Series was on. The skies cleared and the Allman Brothers faithful followers and music enthusiasts gathered with blankets, chairs, coolers and tarps in tow to hear the great

sounds of the Midnight Riders. The Cumberland Valley Quilters Association always honored our military with the presentation of a beautiful handmade quilt for their service to our country. One of this year’s recipients was Franklin’s own, Leigh Hestor, the first female cited for valor in the war with Iraq.

Franklin on the 4th is a true summer tradition in Williamson County! It brings

a great number of people from all over the state and beyond to celebrate the 4th in our historic town! Hosted by the Franklin Lions Club and the City of Franklin, the festival was successful again in its 15th year! It featured

a patriotic costumed parade, free music and entertainment on two different stages, a petting zoo, a display of antique cars and so much more. The end of the day was of course wrapped up with a spectacular firework show that wowed the whole town and all of its welcome visitors! Happy birthday America!

Franklin Tomorrow Shrimp Boil

A new July tradition is the Franklin Tomorrow traditional Low Country

Shrimp Boil – held to honor local volunteers and to present many awards to recognize their efforts in the community. These individuals have so willingly donated their time and efforts to different projects benefiting Franklin and the community and in many cases, sometimes go unrecognized. Well, not anymore thanks to

the established Anne T. Rutherford award designated through Franklin Tomorrow for a deserving recipient each year. The community at large came to celebrate the success of these projects, nosh on some tasty fixings from Daily Dish and cheer on the award recipients. The fifth year of this event was great fun and the support of this caring community was definitely felt that evening!

The Heritage Foundation of Franklin and Williamson County

can be found in historic downtown Franklin behind the post office at the corner of five-points. For those that do not know what this amazing 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization does; The Heritage Foundation is dedicated to protecting and preserving our past by saving the places where great moments from history, as well as the important moments of everyday life, take place. They are helping revitalize neighborhoods and communities, spark economic development and promote environmental sustainability. Since 1967, the Heritage Foundation has sought to protect and preserve the architectural, geographic and cultural heritage of Franklin and Williamson County through ongoing revitalization of Historic Downtown Franklin and the surrounding communities and countryside throughout our beautiful community. They have been able to do this in part because for 38 years, the Heritage Ball has been and remains Williamson County’s most successful black-tie event and fundraiser. Quite simply,

it has become a great night of food, friends and fun. The 38th annual Heritage Ball will be held on Saturday, September 24th at the Eastern Flank

Battlefield Park, adjacent to Historic Carnton Plantation, in Franklin. Cocktails are at 6:00 p.m. with a multi-course dinner and dancing to follow. Tim Pagliara, chairman and

chief executive officer of CapWealth Advisors of Franklin, has been named chair of this year’s Ball, with noted designer, Angela Calhoun, serving as the design chair. The event benefits the Heritage Foundation of Franklin and Williamson County’s efforts to protect and preserve historic resources in Franklin and Williamson County, Tennessee. For ticket and event info, or to get more information on how you can help to preserve our community, go to www.historicfranklin.com or call 615-591-8500.

The United Way of Williamson County recently celebrated a very huge milestone! Many of the

supporters of the organization gathered at Andrews Cadillac in Brentwood to honor fifty wonderful years of caring in this community. County Mayor Rogers Anderson spoke to the crowd, highlighting several of the countless activities this organization

helps with throughout every year. Since 1961, they have brought together resources and people with passion and expertise to create innovative, positive and lasting change that improves lives. Cars from 50 years ago were parked out front to remind guests of what it was like in 1961 at Andrews Cadillac. It was a glimpse of the past, a trip back in time and a perfect way to celebrate “50 Years of Caring.”

It was with much sadness I awoke a few Saturdays ago to read the news on Facebook,

of all things, that Sally Poe had passed away suddenly the evening before. My mind immediately went to not a week prior when I had waved to Miss Sally on Main Street one evening as I crossed the street and she was standing outside her beloved HRH Dumplins’ restaurant – smiling and waving to everyone, friend or not, who passed down the street. I also had to think with a smile, of sitting behind she and her forever sweetheart, husband Bob, at a showing of “Gone with the Wind” during the

opening weekend of the Franklin Theatre. Being around the two of them was so fun! There was never such a lively duo. Two things synonymous with this tiny but great lady – Franklin’s downtown and her great love with her husband. Whenever someone passes away that we know and thought much of, we are saddened. When it is without warning and unexpected, that sadness is coupled with poignant realization of how short life is and how our time here can go in a blink. It’s sobering to say the least, but it is also profoundly joyous when you think of how this person lit up a street and a community and all the wonderful memories she has fueled in recent weeks since her untimely death.

Quotes abound about Sally. Sitting at her funeral, I was struck by the truly heartfelt and wonderful emotions of those blessed to have had her in their lives. The tearful eulogy of her co-worker was a testament to the ability she had to run a business well, but also love her employees as family. And she loved the diners in her restaurant, as well. She was always stopping to read the guest book daily and walk around whenever possible and personally greet her many customers from far and wide. An online memorial tribute was given by a man from New York who had, only the week of her death, met Sally and been in the restaurant. Tourists abound in downtown and I am willing to bet there are former guests from all over the world who would remember her feisty demeanor and grace. As a community magazine publisher, it’s sad to lose someone so much a part of the fabric of our community. And knowing Sally for a long time, I too have my share of memories. I first knew Sally through the Heritage Foundation, on whose board

of directors she served. She often brought us leftover Dumplins’ rolls to the office! Sally never missed a Heritage Ball; she and Bob were always there dressed to the nines and dancing the night away. She was integrally involved in the Historic Presbyterian Church and was a Pink Lady. Her contributions to our world are great. A bright light has gone out but her memory will burn forever bright for those who knew her a little or a lot. Sally herself espoused the adage “beautiful is as beautiful does.” No truer more apt words can be spoken for her.

Volunteerism MakesOur Community Stronger

When Peggy Blake took over as the chair of her company’s

United Way campaign committee 21 years ago, she had no idea that her service would still be carrying on today. Since that time she has even furthered her commitment to the United Way of Williamson County by serving as a member of the allocations panel for the past eight years. The allocations panel, which is comprised of community volunteers, is responsible for distributing funds to United Way partner agencies. In addition to her already full workload, Blake has just completed a three-year term serving as a board member of the Medius Circle, a young leaders organization that promotes volunteerism and is sponsored by the United Way of Williamson County. “I choose to

volunteer for the United Way because I recognize a need in the community for so many people, and because I’m physically and financially able to do this for others,” Blake says. “Any of us can have the same needs in the future at any given time. Who knows when I might need the same help myself one day?” Blake is an active advocate for volunteerism. “You get so much more out of it when you volunteer than what you put in. Volunteering for the United Way is a much bigger gift than what you realize, and in the end, the reward you get is far greater than the cost.”

The Lotz House welcomes home another Matilda

Lotz painting

The Historic Lotz House museum in Franklin has been gifted another

painting by the late artist, Matilda Lotz, who grew up in the historic home. After being open for only 32 months, this is the fourth painting acquired in the house collection.According to Lotz House Executive Director J.T. Thompson, the painting was a gift from an anonymous donor living in Helena, Calif. The piece is still held in its original gold leaf frame; it has a small golden badge in the center reading: “Matilda Lotz, Paris.” The painting, entitled “The Herd,” was completed in Paris between 1885 and 1886. Lotz was around 26 years old at the time. The donor told

Thompson how the painting survived the devastating 1906 San Francisco earthquake, but was damaged when it fell from the wall it was hanging on. The piece was repaired here in Nashville by conservator Sherry Oats; it is currently on display at the Lotz House Museum. The Lotz House is located at 1111 Columbia Avenue. The telephone number is 615-790-7190 and the website is www.lotzhouse.com.
