Publisher’s Message<br />
This month we wish all the moms a Happy<br />
Mother’s Day. And a heartfelt thank you to<br />
all of our fallen military, commemorated<br />
with Memorial Day. Both groups have<br />
given some, or all, of themselves so we can<br />
have a better life.<br />
In addition to these important holidays,<br />
our children are counting down the end<br />
of the school year and the start of summer<br />
vacation. Lately we have had some<br />
beautiful weather, so hopefully that trend<br />
will continue. As those temperatures rise it<br />
will be a perfect time to go for a swim.<br />
Speaking of that, we’re excited to announce a special contest this month.<br />
Longtime readers familiar with Brenda Hunley’s ongoing “Chester the<br />
Chipmunk” series know that Chester’s mom, Mrs. Chipmunk, is about to give<br />
birth. As you’ll see on page 59, Mrs. Chipmunk had twin girls…and that’s<br />
where the contest comes in. We want you to help name the twins. The winner<br />
will receive a summer pool pass for up to a family of six, a $140 value!<br />
Send in your suggestions for their names, and if we pick yours as the winner<br />
you’ll get a summer of water fun. This includes access for the whole summer<br />
to all five City of <strong>Clarksville</strong> Parks and Recreation pools: Beachaven, Bel-Aire,<br />
New Providence, Swan Lake and Smith. All pools open Saturday, <strong>May</strong> 29,<br />
<strong>2010</strong>.<br />
To enter submit your twins’ name suggestions and include your name, phone<br />
number, email address, and mailing address via email to<br />
chester@clarksvillefamily.com, or by mail to:<br />
Attn: Chester<br />
<strong>Clarksville</strong> <strong>Family</strong> <strong>Magazine</strong><br />
PO Box 31867<br />
<strong>Clarksville</strong>, TN 37040<br />
The contest deadline is Saturday, <strong>May</strong> 15. Limit one entry per person.<br />
Winners will be announced in the June issue, but we will contact you the<br />
week of <strong>May</strong> 17 to arrange pickup of the pool passes.<br />
Visit the Parks and Rec website for more information about the pools at<br />
www.cityofclarksville.com/parks&rec/swimming.php. Even if you don’t win,<br />
it’s a great way to spend the summer. Pool passes go on sale <strong>May</strong> 10 in the<br />
Parks and Recreation offices at 102 & 104 Public Square, or at the Community<br />
Centers. Call (931) 645-7476 for more information.<br />
We’re excited to see what names you come up with. Thank you for picking us<br />
up. Enjoy the issue (it’s our biggest ever!).<br />
Sincerely,<br />
Carla Lavergne<br />
