TNT Summer Day Camp concluded July 14, and all the teens agreed it was the best summer! In addition to cooking some spectacular dishes such as chicken cordon bleu, the teens worked out with the World’s Fittest Man, Rich Froning, and his staff at Crossfit Mayhem. They made their own bread at Great Harvest Bread Company and were privileged to have a behindthe- scenes look inside Dale Hollow Dam, plus many, many more awesome opportunities. This is all free to TNT participants and made possible with the help of numerous community and financial supporters. We are very grateful to so many who support these youth programs.

Teens Need Training and KIDS Matter afterschool programs are starting back this month. Please consider enrolling your teen (grades 5-12) in TNT or your child (grades K-4) in KIDS Matter. TNT meets after school on Mondays and Wednesdays, while KIDS Matter meets on Tuesdays. For more information, please call me at (931) 526-9793, ext. 213.
