Alice Ann Barge nomination and selection for the Award was based on her many contributions, including:
- Metro Tree Advisory Committee Member
- Nashville Tree Foundation Member
- Promoter and planner of Nashville's Arbor Day Celelberation
- Long time supporter of Metro Beautification
- Member of Garden Clubs and Horticulural Societies.
The President’s Council on Service and Civic Participation (the Council) was established in 2003 to recognize the valuable contributions volunteers are making in our communities and encourage more people to serve. The Council created the President’s Volunteer Service Award program as a way to thank and honor Americans who, by their demonstrated commitment and example, inspire others to engage in volunteer service.
Shame on this Property Owner!
Some property owners don't care about YOUR neighborhood. You can help. This overgrown lawn was cut after a concerned neighbor contacted us. The property owner responded to our inquiries and put the property back in order. A big thank you to this property owner! This property at 69 Glenrose is overgrown. Did you know that it is a violation of Metro Code to let your property get in this condition? Help us keep YOUR neighborhood clean & beautiful. Report violators to Metro Health Department 340-5644.

Question: What do I do with my old television?
Did you know that your "old" TV does not necessarily have to be thrown away when the TV signals change to digital signals in February 2009? You have the option to purchase a converter box which will update your analog television. Learn more about the switch to digital television. If you need to dispose of your old TV set, Davidson County Residents may take TVs to East Convenience Center.
