Brentwood Home Page news reports
While Governor Bill Haslam gets most of the headlines, the state's new first lady Crissy Haslam has her own story to tell – and will when she speaks to members and guests of the FiftyForward Martin Center at the Brentwood senior center's monthly potluck luncheon on Tuesday.

The 11:30 a.m. event is $2 for Martin members; $5 for non-members and everyone is asked to bring a large dish to share with everyone. The center is located at 960 Heritage Way, Brentwood

A Houston, Texas native, Crissy Haslam moved with her family to Memphis, when she was 8.

She graduated from Emory University in Georgia with a double major in finance and marketing in the College of Business, serving as vice-president of the Business School Council while there. She later earned her master of science degree in education from University of Tennessee at Knoxville, where she held several positions during her family's tenure there.

The Haslams have three adult children, Will, Annie and Leigh.

Crissy continues to be active on several civic boards and is a longtime volunteer at the Love Kitchen, which provides meals for Knoxville's poor and homebound population.

On Tuesday, her new life as first lady will no doubt be the hot topic.

A limited number of tickets are still available for the sixth annual Music and Memories concert – the Martin Center's biggest fundraiser of the year – on Wednesday, June 29.

"An Electrifying Evening of Elegance" featuring Jo Dee Messina accompanied by an Ensemble of the Nashville Symphony begins at 5:30 p.m. with a VIP reception with wine, hors d'oeuvres and a meet-and-greet with Messina. Tickets to the reception and concert at $85.

Tickets to the 7 p.m. concert only are $50. To purchase a ticket or more information, call 376-0102.
