FCA Night Golf Tournament-To Much Fun!

Congrats to the Adams team for their 1st place win last night with a 8 under par. The longest drive went to FCA alum Daniel Davis. There was a tie for 2nd between the Vander Elst & Wittman teams with 5 under each. Great fun was had by all and no one suffered from the lightning storm or rain delay. Thanks to all golfers for helping with our FCA need based financial aid. Good job!

Mack-Hatcher Northwest Extension – Are we getting there?

Apparently we are! Here’s some evidence. The City of Franklin has purchased 29 acres from Livingfield More according to The Tennessean and local beat writer Kevin Walters. FCA made our contribution to the condemnation phase about a year ago when we sold a small portion of our land to the City of Franklin for the Mack-Hatcher right of way.

Here’s the article from the Tennessean: http://tinyurl.com/d5shh24.

Our new campus will face Mack-Hatcher and be very near the 96W & Mack-Hatcher high-speed round-about. See the map.
