A little about Susan Gardner:

As a professional organizer, Susan works

with individuals or groups to clear space

and cull possessions, organize for comfort

and efficiency, prepare to move, or in-

crease safer space. A call to Susan is in

order if closets won’t close or your space

feels uninspiring; If you are downsizing or

the children have outgrown their toys and

clothes. Susan’s guidance offers third-

party help in difficult circumstances. At a

free initial consultation she will look at your

space and determine strategy and goals.

Dear FiftyForward Donelson Members, Let me introduce myself...I am Fran Mazza-Ferro. I served FIftyForward as the Associate Executive Director 20+ years before I retried at the end of 2008. Last month, August 12th, Janet Jernigan and Lori Corley called me and asked me to serve as interim director of FiftyForward Donelson until they hire a new person. Thank you all so much for making me feel so welcome here at Donelson. One of my first impressions of Donel-son Staion was “Oh, my gosh, this cen-ter is SO BUSY!” What a great prob-lem to have! It seems there is some-thing for everyone! I love it! Everybody worked so hard for the Pigs and Pickles (BBQ) our 2-day fundrais-ing event...it was terribly hot, but you wonderful people just kept working! What a group of troopers you all are! I have already learned so much from many of you. Believe me, this center would not be functioning without you all. Some of you have made some in-valuable suggestions about the opera-tion of the center. I am open to listen-ing and jotting down your ideas. Some may be implemented soon...others may take longer to put into action and some may be impossible to implement. How-ever, do not stop bringing me your ideas or suggestions. I love talking with you and getting to know more about your lives, talents, skills and dreams. May you all be blessed, Fran
