TRACY LAWRENCE HOSTS 5th ANNUAL MISSION POSSIBLE TURKEY FRY
Pre-Thanksgiving Event Generates Awareness
And Welcomes Community Support For The Nashville Rescue Mission

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (November 2, 2010)—Award winning, multi-platinum, country recording artistTracy Lawrence will host his Mission Possible Turkey Fry, on Tuesday, November 23, 2010 to benefit the  Nashville Rescue Mission.
 
Committed to serving Nash ville with music and deed for the past five years, Lawrence’s Mission Possible has become a highly anticipated event to raise money and generate awareness as well as provide food for the local mission.

The Nashville Rescue Mission works hard to care for the homeless and rehabilitate those working through personal issues such as addiction or abuse. Our mission is to raise awareness of the services provided by the Nashville Rescue Mission to the homeless, as well as to remind the community of the ‘everyday’ need to support our local Mission and neighbors all year-round. This event is one of my favorites of the year. It’s a true and heartfelt gesture by all; I’m in awe each year of the support from my friends and the community who come out to lend a hand, make a donation, and fry up some turkeys,”Lawrence said.

Joining in on the outdoor fry festivities, in the parking lot of the Nashville Rescue Mission (located at 639 Lafayette Street in downtown Nashville), will be Brad Arnold, GAC’s Suzanne Alexander, Burns & Poe, Chelsea Field, Matt Gary, LoCash Cowboys, Lathan Moore, Lorrie Morgan, Danielle Peck, The Roys, Jett Williams and the Titans Cheerleaders with additional celebrities being confirmed daily. Abba Java, Blue Rhino, Four Seasons Coach Leasing, Ink On Paper, J.M. Holm & Co., Lighthouse Charity and Richards & Southern, Inc. are sponsorship partners in the all-day event with their donation of goods, services and time.  All three Nashville country music stations (WKDF, WSIX and WSM-FM/The Wolf) will celebrate the spirit of the outing to bring music to the location.

The Mission Possible Turkey Fry is open to the public (a gift of a donation is appreciated.)

Since the Mission Possible inception, Lawrence and his friends have donated more than 5,000 turkeys, provided nearly 35,000 meals for the homeless and funds raised have exceeded $100,000.  Much like years past, Lawrence anticipates the group of celebrity cooks will fry up more than 500 turkeys over the course of the day on Tuesday, November 23.

Last year, Mission Possible raised nearly $15,000; more than 500 birds were cooked and served with a total of 950 turkeys donated to the Nashville Rescue Mission. The Nashville Rescue Mission shared the meals with other non-profit organizations (Meals On Wheels and Nashville Cares).

“Whether it’s someone you know, a friend or a loved one, or a friend of a friend, or a distant stranger, we’ve all been in a bind or have suffered at one point or another.  People helping people shouldn’t be a holiday’ gesture, but part of our everyday routine. Care and kindness are free; it’s the ‘little things’ we can share with our friends and neighbors in need that will make a great difference. It’s a ‘heart’ decision; your small sacrifice can make BIG changes in someone’s life!“—Tracy Lawrence

Kenny Rogers featured in Billboard’s 50 th  Anniversary of Adult Contemporary chart   Rogers’ Ranks Sixth-Best All Time and Fourth-Best Male with 28 AC Top 10 hits Nashville, TN (August 25, 2011) – According to Billboard, Kenny Rogers’ 28 Adult Contemporary Top 10’s are sixth-best all-time, and fourth-best among men, trailing only Elton John, Neil Diamond and Elvis Presley.  Kenny Rogers' feats on the AC chart include 47 hits, tying him with Barry Manilow for seventh-most in the chart's history. No core country artist has crossed over more titles to AC. Rogers has scored eight AC No. 1s. Rogers: "I remember when [the AC charts] were established, I thought it was so cool. I've always been a believer in the strength of the song. My problem is I'm a country singer who's had a lot of other musical influences, so my stuff is going to tend to be more AC. That's always been my slam in country music, that I was never a true country artist, even though &q

They call her..The Bare Naked Bandit..29 yr Old Lee Grace Doherty

ARRESTED now in Colorado...but what a story and week for 2 brothers and their stripper sister! Text messages and tweets by three fugitive siblings who shot at a police officer and robbed a bank reveal a dangerous mindset and a firm bond between the siblings, "We've certainly seen their mindset when... They shot at a law enforcement officer outside of Tampa Bay, Fla., and when they fired inside that bank in Valdosta, Ga. But these additional texts and tweets have given us additional insight," FBI Special Agent Stephen Emmett told "Good Morning America" today. " We are concerned and feel that they are going to continue and cause problems to say the least for law enforcement." Ryan Dougherty, 21; his sister Lee Grace E. Dougherty, 29; and half-brother Dylan Dougherty Stanley, 26, have been on the lam since Aug. 2 when they shot at a police officer attempting to pull their white Subaru Impreza over for speeding.
