This weekend presented me with a situation that I must admit - I was not prepared for… Part of our Yeoman plan was to hold small gatherings for our friends and clients periodically, but this past Saturday night brought out more than a few of us! I write to you with a humble respect and a newly rediscovered understanding of the power of good in the world. Saturday night’s event featured a speaking by author and historian Bill Potter. It was suspected to draw a crowd of 15 to 20 people. We made arrangements with our favorite local restaurant to house and feed us and we prepared the shop for the pleasures of intelligent company on a Saturday night. We surpassed the 15 to 20 friend estimate thirty minutes prior to the speaking and finally closed the doors with a count of 68!! I am overwhelmed and honestly shocked by the crowd that turned out for our first ever event. Building event attendance is generally slow and grows over the period of years folks… I was and still am speechless!! I THANK YOU ALL FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART. I was really worried that our first event might only draw two or three people. I was prepared to fill up my coat pockets with the prepared snacks and chug down about 14 Dr. Pepper’s like Forrest Gump. That way you see, I would not have wasted money on food and drink that at least wasn’t enjoyed by one.

To Bill Potter and his crew – THANK YOU for a wonderful evening and I look forward to many, many more. Bill is slated to come back to see us at the end of December. I promise to have a larger space then! Bill and I are in the talking stage over the topic, but John Bunyan / Pilgrim’s Progress printing history and a myriad of Civil War battle talks are high on the list.

To Rick Warwick and the Williamson County Historical Society – I can’t wait until this coming Saturday night to hear Rick give us tid-bits on Leiper’s Fork in his talk, ‘Where the devil is Leiper’s Fork, TN.’ SEE YOU ALL AT COUNTRY BOY RESTAURANT IN DOWNTOWN LEIPERS FORK AT 5:30 ON SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 2009!!!

To the staff at Country Boy Restaurant – Thank you for helping to make our events as beautiful as I hoped they would be. We at Yeoman’s appreciate all you have done to help us as we build our speaking event schedule!

LET’S ALL COME OUT AND SUPPORT RICK FOR HIS FIRST TALK HOSTED BY YEOMAN’S IN THE FORK AND COUNTRY BOY RESTAURANT!!
