The issue leads with a book launch: Nashville's Parnassus Books announced a January 25th celebration for the release of Sharon Mabry's Humorous Memoir Collection, spotlighting a local author stepping onto one of the region's best-known literary stages. The piece introduces Mabry and the collection to a Clarksville readership at the start of the year.
The Manna Café Ministries Golden Gala carried a bittersweet note this year as about 200 supporters gathered to celebrate another successful year of assisting local families. The evening balanced celebration with the sober reality behind the nonprofit's work — a fundraiser marking both accomplishment and the ongoing need it exists to meet.
Looking ahead, the issue previews the spring Power & Purpose Conference, a day of personal development and networking set to bring Inside Edition host Megan Alexander, multiple-Grammy songwriter Liz Rose and NFL coach Lori Locust to the area — a notable slate of speakers for a local professional-development event.
Around those features, the January number carries the community's new-year calendar, its business and nonprofit profiles, and the food, local-history and photo coverage that anchor each issue. The mix sets an ambitious tone for the year: a published memoir, a well-attended gala, and a conference reaching for national names — all rooted firmly in Clarksville. Mabry, who spent her whole life in music, was celebrating two titles — The Blue Box and Memories that Live in the Bones — while the Power & Purpose lineup featured Lori “Lo” Locust, the Tennessee Titans' first full-time female coach.
