evangelism
Evangelist on the bridge asks,
if you died tomorrow
would you go to heaven?
An old west gunslinger
he carves a notch on his belt
for each soul saved.

Belief
Throughout my life certain people have told me I would never amount to anything. It is on the mornings I think they may be right that I most want to give them a poke in the eye.

Spoken Word Fundraiser ‘New Voices’ Planned for March 19 in Chattanooga
Event includes poetry, live jazz, readings from conservation giants to benefit Tennessee Wild
Chattanooga, TN: Tennessee Wild is pleased to present an evening of Spoken word artistry on Saturday, March 19, 8 PM to 10:30 PM at the Salvation Army, 800 McCallie Avenue, in Chattanooga. The event is open to the public. A $5 suggested donation will be collected at the door. The evening will feature the recital of original poetry as well as readings from the works some of America’s most influential conservation greats including John Muir, Aldo Leopold, Edward Abbey and Henry David Thoreau. The Undoctored Originals will perform improvisational jazz.
Local storyteller Jim Pfitzer, known as a Tennessee Treasure, will emcee the event. Pfitzer will also perform “Thinking Like a Mountain.”. The fundraiser is collaboration between local poet Ray Zimmerman and Tennessee Wild’s Jeff Hunter. According to Hunter, “Ray invited me to attend one of his New Voices events, and I was very moved by the talent in our community. I was especially struck by the fusion of impromptu jazz and poetry. It is really inspiring, and Tennessee Wild is in the business of inspiring people.”
The event will take place in the newly refurbished Salvation Army facility near the campus of UTC. Coffee and baked goods will be available. For more information, please contact Ray Zimmerman at 423-315-0721 or znaturalist@yahoo.com.
Tennessee Wild is dedicated to protecting wilderness on the Cherokee National Forest for the benefit and enjoyment of current and future generations. We aim to educate the public about the benefits of wilderness and promote volunteerism and the sound stewardship of Tennessee's wild places.

Brainerd Levee
Ray Zimmerman 315-0721 or znaturalist@yahoo.com
Meet at the parking lot near the intersection of Shallowford Road and Moore Road.
Ducks are preparing for their departure, but a number should still be in the area if the water levels are right. Some early arrival shorebirds are possible. If you have access to a scope, you may want to bring it. Dress for the weather, which can get quite windy on the levee.
