Food Drive Totals and Summer Party

It took me this long just to be able to talk about the end of the season. Oh, well. We do have some good news to report on our Second Harvest Food Bank food drive. The Nashville Green Bay Packers fans really stepped up to the plate…the dinner plate, that is…  

While the Packers playoff game may not have had the outcome we had hoped for, our club definitely impacted Middle Tennessee through our generosity and spirit.

Are you ready for some fabulous totals? 

The Nashville Green Bay Packers Club collected 580 pounds of food and $155.89 in cash donations.  In total, we provided 632 meals for the hungry in Middle Tennessee.

Here’s a great big THANK YOU to everyone who participated!  

And a reminder that we will be gathering for the Nashville Green Bay Packers Club Summer Party on Saturday, June 16 in Joelton. Put it on your calendar and we'll have more details in a few weeks.

Food Drive Sunday!

Hey Packer Fans! 

We're hungry for another Super Bowl victory, but some folks are just plain hungry.  As we cheer our team to victory in the playoffs, let's also help the needy in Nashville.

The Nashville Green Bay Packers Club and the Nashville Packer Backers-Franklin are teaming up to collect non-perishable food items for Second Harvest Food Bank of Middle Tennessee during the Packers’ first playoff game on Sunday, January 15. 

Please take your donations to the Scoreboard (across from Opryland), 2408 Music Valley Drive, Nashville, OR to J's Sports Grill (inside Franklin Lanes), 1200 Lakeview Drive, Franklin, and put them in the Second Harvest drop box during the game.  We will also have a donation jars available for those who want to donate coins…or large sums of cash!

The most needed donation items include:

canned fruit

canned tuna or chicken

canned vegetables

peanut butter

cereal

pasta

Please note:  Second Harvest cannot accept home-canned foods, outdated foods, damaged food items…or brats.

OR, if you would rather make a donation online, follow this link to the Nashville Packer page:http://vad.aidmatrix.org/vadxml.cfm?driveid=6122

As the economic crisis and high rates of unemployment continue, the need for food assistance

remains urgent. In any given week, more than 21,000 people receive emergency food assistance from a food pantry, soup kitchen or shelter served by Second Harvest Food Bank of Middle Tennessee. As a result of the demand for their services, Second Harvest Food Bank of Middle Tennessee has increased food distribution by 25 percent over the past two years and they need us to step up.

So, grab some non perishable food items from your pantry on your way to the club on Sunday, January 15 and let's cheer on our team while cheering up our community.  Go Pack!

Playoff Excitement Builds!

We hope everyone is revved up for the big Packers playoff game versus the Giants this Sunday January 15. We'll be tailgating, as we do for all playoff games, on the deck outside of the Scoreboard Bar and Grill. The tailgate starts at 1:30pm. Game time is 3:30pm. Everyone is welcome to join us. The club will provide chili and beer and you should bring a side dish to share. It's free for club members and just $7 for visitors. Originally we said it would be brats on the menu, but it will actually be chili. Don't forget to bring canned food items for our food drive to support Second Harvest of Nashville. We want to show our support for the less fortunate in our community.

Go Pack Go!

It's Time for the Playoffs and Tailgates

Get ready Nashville Green Bay Packers fans! The date and time are set and now it's just a case of who the Packers will be facing for their first playoff game. It's scheduled for Sunday, January 15 at 3:30pm. That means our tailgate party at the Scoreboard will start at 1:30pm. As usual, all are welcome, including visitors. The tailgate fun is free for members and just $7 for non-members. We provide chili and beer, you bring a side dish to share. We'll have a tailgate for every playoff game.

We're also doing our part to help the community with a food drive for this playoff game. All donations will go to the Second Harvest Food Bank of Nashville. Just bring non-perishable food items to the Scoreboard and we'll load them up. Food drive organizer Rundi Ream will take them to Second Harvest. The Franklin Packers club will be participating on their end. It's a great way to show the community how much Packers fans care!

Silent Auction Results and Christmas Tailgate

The Nashville Green Bay Packers Club silent auction last Sunday was a huge success. We had some cool and unique items and even one that was a bit risque! Lisa says we raised more than $900 and that's one of the biggest totals in club history. Next week, Sunday, December 11, is the Christmas tailgate party, starting at 1pm with game time at 3:15pm. If you participated in Secret Santa this year, Santa will be there to help distribute the gifts. Lisa and Scott are cooking up turkey and stuffing. Everyone should bring a side to share. As always, the tailgate is held outside of the Scoreboard Bar and Grill and is free for members and just $7 for visitors (beer included). Everyone is invited.
