You can reuse the permit from week to week. We are going to expand our summer program slightly to include some educational activities and crafts in addition to the storytelling, but don’t worry – we’ll still turn on the SPRINKLERS and let the kids romp in the water after story/activity time is over. Kids are welcome to wear their bathing suits under their clothes for a quick change at sprinkler time – just don’t forget sunscreen and a towel or two! Here's the set up! 1. Story Station- Visit the Story Station to listen to this week’s books. Our theme for the week is Silly about Seeds! Stories will begin at 10:30, 10:45 and 11:00. 2. Silly Song Station- Visit the Silly Song Station to learn songs and finger plays. 3. Garden ABC Color Station- Stop by the Garden ABC color station to color this week’s alphabet sheet.

You can visit each station at your leisure between 10:30 and 11:30 and please take note that if a station appears full, please visit the next station. Also a quick note: We will have a special Stroller Parking “lot” set-up adjacent to our stations. We encourage you to park your stroller during the hour program, if at all possible. If you need your stroller, please be courteous and keep them to the side or back of the station. Please note that sprinkler time will be during the months of June, July and August. Please check in with our Books and Blooms volunteers upon arrival at the UT Gardens for your parking pass. Remember, if you received a purple pass last week, we appreciate it if you can re-use it this week! Feel free to bring a blanket to sit on and a picnic to enjoy after our story time!

Sales Tax Free Holiday: 2010 Sales Tax Holiday: August 6-8 The State of Tennessee's Annual Sales Tax Holiday is held every year on the first Friday in August and ends the following Sunday night. This year's tax-free holiday weekend begins at 12:01 a.m on Friday, August 6th and ends Sunday, August 8th at 11:59 p.m. During this time, Tennesseans can enjoy tax-free purchases on certain clothing, school and art supplies and computers. What’s Tax-Free? Tax-free items include clothing with a price of $100 or less per item, school and school art supplies with a price of $100 or less per item and computers with a price of $1,500 or less. These items are exempt from state and local sales tax in Tennessee during the holiday. Local governments are held harmless and are reimbursed lost sales tax revenues by the state. Who Can Participate? Any individual can make a tax-free purchase during the holiday. However, items purchased for use by a trade or business are not exempt. Can I Order by Mail, Telephone, E-Mail or Internet? The holiday also includes purchases of qualified items sold via mail, telephone, e-mail or Internet if the customer orders and pays for the item and the retailer accepts the order during the holiday for immediate shipment, even if delivery is made after the exemption period. What if the Item is Backlogged or on Backorder? If a customer wishes to order a certain tax-free item during the holiday and it is not in stock, the item remains tax-free upon delivery. In other words, backlogs and backorders outside the buyer’s control will not affect the exempt status of tax-free items. Intentionally delayed sales are taxable. What if I Want to Place an Item on Layaway or Pay for an Item That is Currently On Layaway? Qualified items previously placed on layaway are exempt when the final payment is made during the holiday. Items are also exempt if placed on layaway during the holiday and the final payment is made after the exemption period. When Did Sales Tax Holidays Start in Tennessee? Tennessee Code Annotated 67-6-393 established annual sales tax holidays in Tennessee in 2006. The first Sales Tax Holiday was August 4-6, 2006, saving Tennesseans about $15 million. Since then, Tennesseans have enjoyed $8 to $10 million in tax savings each holiday.

You can park in the C-4 lot directly across from the garden entrance. The permit will be good for our Books and Blooms time plus a little extra time just after – so feel free to stay after the program to look around the garden, have a picnic lunch, or just soak up some sun. You can reuse the permit from week to week. We are going to expand our summer program slightly to include some educational activities and crafts in addition to the storytelling, but don’t worry – we’ll still turn on the SPRINKLERS and let the kids romp in the water after story/activity time is over. Kids are welcome to wear their bathing suits under their clothes for a quick change at sprinkler time – just don’t forget sunscreen and a towel or two! Here's the set up! 1. Story Station- Visit the Story Station to listen to this week’s books. Our theme for the week is Silly about Seeds! Stories will begin at 10:30, 10:45 and 11:00. 2. Silly Song Station- Visit the Silly Song Station to learn songs and finger plays. 3. Garden ABC Color Station- Stop by the Garden ABC color station to color this week’s alphabet sheet. Be sure to visit this station each week, and by the end of the series, your child will have their very own alphabet garden book! You can visit each station at your leisure between 10:30 and 11:30 and please take note that if a station appears full, please visit the next station. Also a quick note: We will have a special Stroller Parking “lot” set-up adjacent to our stations. We encourage you to park your stroller during the hour program, if at all possible. If you need your stroller, please be courteous and keep them to the side or back of the station. Please note that sprinkler time will be during the months of June, July and August. Please check in with our Books and Blooms volunteers upon arrival at the UT Gardens for your parking pass. Remember, if you received a purple pass last week, we appreciate it if you can re-use it this week! Feel free to bring a blanket to sit on and a picnic to enjoy after our story time!

Dan Zanes and Friends: Dan Zanes and Friends are back in town and performing at the Bijou Theatre for one show only on Friday, August 13, 7 p.m. Tickets are $19.50 individual, $70 for a family four-pack, plus applicable service fees, available beginning Friday, June 25, at 10 a.m. via the Tennessee Theatre box office, all Tickets Unlimited outlets, by phone at 865-656-4444, or online at http://www.knoxbijou.com. Dan Zanes and Friends are: Dan Zanes, Colin Brooks, Sonia De Los Santos, John Foti, Saskia Sunshine Lane and Elena Moon Park. Zanes began by distributing a homemade cassette at a neighborhood park in New York City¹s West Village and has since released several Parents Choice Award-winning, bestselling albums including the acclaimed album The Welcome Table: Songs of Inspiration, Mystery & Good Times and Catch That Train!, which won the 2007 Grammy for ³Best Musical Album for Children.² Music videos for Zanes¹ songs have aired on The Noggin Network and ³Sesame Street² and The Disney Channel¹s ³Playhouse Disney.² Zanes just released his new DVD The Fine Friends Are Here! in collaboration with Razor & Tie Entertainment. Finally, Zanes has also released two limited edition ukuleles‹called the dz flea and the fiesta flea‹and two picture books made in collaboration with his illustrator-musician brother-in-law, Donald Saaf (Little, Brown and Company Books). This summer, Zanes and Friends are performing a free Fourth of July concert in NYC's Battery Park. Musicians of all ages are invited to bring instruments and participate in the parade. In August, Zanes, Brooks and Park will also perform at the Kidzapalooza stage at Lollapalooza in Chicago's Grant Park. Family music pioneers Dan Zanes and Friends delved into a vital part of America¹s musical heritage with their latest album of timeless songs owned by Sir Paul McCartney¹s MPL Music Publishing catalog. 76 Trombones features an array of new friends from Broadway, including Tony Award-winners Carol Channing (Hello, Dolly!), Brian Stokes Mitchell (Kiss Me, Kate) and Matthew Broderick (The Producers), along with de¹Adre Aziza (Passing Strange) and Derick K. Grant (Bring in Œda Noise, Bring in Œda Funk). The album introduces a new generation of kids to classic Broadway songs that everyone knows and loves. A portion of the proceeds from the CD will benefit Rosie O¹Donnell¹s Rosie¹s Broadway Kids, which is an arts education organization dedicated to enriching the lives of children through the arts. 76 Trombones began in a slightly different way than other Zanes and Friends recordings, this time with an out-of-the-blue phone call. Nancy Jeffries from MPL rang Zanes to see if he and his band would be interested in raiding their Broadway publishing vaults and collaborating with some of Broadway¹s best to create a family CD. Within the year, after countless hours of sifting and experimenting, Zanes and Friends were holed up in Puerto Rico with long-time Zanes co-producer Rob Friedman recording 76 Trombones. Zanes and Friends¹ trip down the Great White Way traverses genre-defining works held by MPL including ³Hello Dolly² (from Hello Dolly with Carol Channing), ³I Like Everybody² (from The Most Happy Fella with Brian Stokes Mitchell), ³I Don¹t Need Anything But You² (from Annie, with de¹Adre Aziza), ³I Can Do That² (from A Chorus Line with tap dancer Derick K. Grant), ³Before the Parade Passes By² (from Hello, Dolly! with Matthew Broderick), and ³Tomorrow, Mañana² (from Annie with Sonia de los Santos). Zanes says, ³With the exception of the Hair soundtrack, musicals were never my thing as a kid. I was too caught up in the music of Leadbelly back then. But as a parent, one afternoon at my daughter¹s request, I figured out how to play ³Bushel And A Peck² (from Guys and Dolls). I had a sudden realization that once you took away the hopped-up big band and the high intensity vocals it was an amazing folk song. It occurred to me that maybe a lot of these Broadway songs could be broken down to their ragged essence, reworked as 21st Century all-ages music, and presented in a manner that might make you think, ŒHey, I can do that.¹ When the people at MPL called me two years ago about a possible Broadway album I took it as a sign that the time was finally right to put on my dusty, moth-eaten tux and get loose with the songs of American musicals. For me, the songs and performances on this CD are packed with emotion and celebration. I¹m grateful and still a little surprised that the people at MPL trusted us with them!² About MPL Founded by Sir Paul McCartney in 1971, MPL¹s music publishing business has been marked by considered acquisitions and sensitive, honest handling of copyrights. Among the writers for whom MPL administers are Frank Loesser, Carl Perkins, Buddy Holly, Jerry Herman, Harold Arlen, Jelly Roll Morton. The company also administers the songs from many Broadway shows including Hello, Dolly!, Annie, Grease, Peter Pan, Guys and Dolls, Hans Christian Andersen, Mame, A Chorus Line, The Music Man, La Cage Aux Folles and others.

Books and Blooms 2010 - It's a Jungle out there: Books and Blooms will start May 20th through October 28th. We will meet every Thursday morning at 10:30. We will have Books and Blooms rain or shine – if the weather is nice we will be outside in the outdoor classroom; if it is raining we will move inside to a classroom. Look for signs directing you to the appropriate spot. Be sure to stop by the garden entrance on your way in to pick up a parking permit to place on your windshield. You can park in the C-4 lot directly across from the garden entrance. The permit will be good for our Books and Blooms time plus a little extra time just after – so feel free to stay after the program to look around the garden, have a picnic lunch, or just soak up some sun. You can reuse the permit from week to week. We are going to expand our summer program slightly to include some educational activities and crafts in addition to the storytelling, but don’t worry – we’ll still turn on the SPRINKLERS and let the kids romp in the water after story/activity time is over. Kids are welcome to wear their bathing suits under their clothes for a quick change at sprinkler time – just don’t forget sunscreen and a towel or two! Here's the set up! 1. Story Station- Visit the Story Station to listen to this week’s books. Our theme for the week is Silly about Seeds! Stories will begin at 10:30, 10:45 and 11:00. 2. Silly Song Station- Visit the Silly Song Station to learn songs and finger plays. 3. Garden ABC Color Station- Stop by the Garden ABC color station to color this week’s alphabet sheet. Be sure to visit this station each week, and by the end of the series, your child will have their very own alphabet garden book! You can visit each station at your leisure between 10:30 and 11:30 and please take note that if a station appears full, please visit the next station. Also a quick note: We will have a special Stroller Parking “lot” set-up adjacent to our stations. We encourage you to park your stroller during the hour program, if at all possible. If you need your stroller, please be courteous and keep them to the side or back of the station. Please note that sprinkler time will be during the months of June, July and August. Please check in with our Books and Blooms volunteers upon arrival at the UT Gardens for your parking pass. Remember, if you received a purple pass last week, we appreciate it if you can re-use it this week! Feel free to bring a blanket to sit on and a picnic to enjoy after our story time! To join an email list to receive notices about Books and Blooms, contact Emily Smith at esmith27@utk.edu. As always, Books and Blooms in the UT Gardens is a FREE event for kids of all ages.

BUTTERFLY FUND 5K WALK AND RUN: BUTTERFLY FUND 5K WALK AND RUN ON AUGUST 21 TO BENEFIT CHILDREN’S HOSPITAL, HELP FIGHT AGAINST CHILDHOOD CANCER Childhood cancer affects hundreds of families throughout East Tennessee in a very personal way; in 2009, around 50 children began treatment for cancer at East Tennessee Children’s Hospital after being diagnosed. The Butterfly Fund of East Tennessee Foundation, a nonprofit organization, wants to help make sure that the difficult impact on families of childhood cancer is headed towards extinction by raising money through a variety of events aimed to involve the public in this important cause. The Butterfly Fund 5K Race is the latest event to involve families and the community in supporting this important goal to help wipe out childhood cancer. Set for Saturday, August 21 to begin at 9 a.m., this new 5K event will start with registration at Sequoyah Park at 8 a.m., then make its way through the scenic Cherokee Boulevard area in Sequoyah Hills. A play area for children will be part of the event, and families are encouraged to participate together. The race registration fees are even set up to encourage this – if two or more members of a family sign up for the race at the same time, each person gets a $5 discount off the registration fee of $23 for adults and $18 for children under 18. All monies raised from the Butterfly Fund will be used by Children’s Hospital to meet the unexpected needs of families with children diagnosed with cancer that insurance does not cover. “When a child is diagnosed with cancer, most people don’t realize the incredible impact of time it has on the child’s family,” said Ellen Liston, Director of Community Relations for Children’s Hospital. “Often, one parent has to quit their job to take care of the intense medical needs associated with treatment. Imagine the hardship this would place on your family – not only the demands of having a very ill child but also having to cope with this new financial difficulty. And many of the families we serve at Children’s Hospital come from outlying counties, so gas costs add up quickly coming to and from the hospital for treatment. The funds raised through the Butterfly Fund 5K Race will go a long way to help these families with the increased financial needs they have.”

We will have Books and Blooms rain or shine – if the weather is nice we will be outside in the outdoor classroom; if it is raining we will move inside to a classroom. Look for signs directing you to the appropriate spot. Be sure to stop by the garden entrance on your way in to pick up a parking permit to place on your windshield. You can park in the C-4 lot directly across from the garden entrance. The permit will be good for our Books and Blooms time plus a little extra time just after – so feel free to stay after the program to look around the garden, have a picnic lunch, or just soak up some sun. You can reuse the permit from week to week. We are going to expand our summer program slightly to include some educational activities and crafts in addition to the storytelling, but don’t worry – we’ll still turn on the SPRINKLERS and let the kids romp in the water after story/activity time is over. Kids are welcome to wear their bathing suits under their clothes for a quick change at sprinkler time – just don’t forget sunscreen and a towel or two! Here's the set up! 1. Story Station- Visit the Story Station to listen to this week’s books. Our theme for the week is Silly about Seeds! Stories will begin at 10:30, 10:45 and 11:00. 2. Silly Song Station- Visit the Silly Song Station to learn songs and finger plays. 3. Garden ABC Color Station- Stop by the Garden ABC color station to color this week’s alphabet sheet.

You can visit each station at your leisure between 10:30 and 11:30 and please take note that if a station appears full, please visit the next station. Also a quick note: We will have a special Stroller Parking “lot” set-up adjacent to our stations. We encourage you to park your stroller during the hour program, if at all possible.
