Music City, USA

We NEPers are in the midst of a pretty musical couple of weeks. We've seen Doc Allen and the Heartstrings and Leslie McClure in the last two nights. Saturday night, we're going to see Bob Seger at the Gaylord. Then, I wanted to tell everyone here in the Middle Tennessee area about two very special opportunities to support the Campus for Human Development by attending (and making donations at) two Christmas concerts next week.
