TTA hasn't yet chartered an official chapter in this part of Middle Tennessee, although there has been considerable interest by folks living in the Sumner County area.
Regular meetings of what will be the Sumner Trails Chapter are being held at 7:00 pm on the first Tuesday of each month at the First Presbyterian Church in Hendersonville. (Directions.)
Tom and Debra Obrock have agreed to serve as co-chairs of the new chapter. Contact them by e-mail or by phone at 615-826-7459.
If you live in this area, and would like to be a part of starting a new chapter, please contact the Obrock's or Libby Francis, the Middle Tennessee Regional representative.
