Mayor Littlefield at JFK Luncheon Club
The mayor revealed a lighter side by starting the JFK Luncheon Club with a reference to Wade Swicord's provocative description of the mayor as "cross dressing" politically because the mayor had attended the Commissioner Adams Breakfast on Dec. 3 (see Swicord's letter to the Chattanooga Times Free Press last week). Laughter followed.
Chris Daly, Tom Dubose, and Annie Hall sat at the officers' table during the event at which Chattanooga's mayor spoke personally and politically about where Chattanooga has come from, starting 30 years ago with announcement of Chattanooga as the dirtiest city in America, to where it is going today. The mayor also shared his thoughts about the prospect of turning 60 years old in 2006, along with so many other baby boomers. At the end of the hour, the mayor fielded several questions~one of which was about the attempt to purchase the local unit of the Tennessee-American Water Company. But the water company wants to sell the entire business. Careful negotiation will be required.
Special thanks to all of the JFK Luncheon Club officers (including Shelley Andrews and Nicole Bellenfant) for delivering a great new season of speakers and subjects. The JFK Luncheon Club meets every second Tuesday of each month. Contact Ms. Andrews if you would like to be on an email list.
At least 40 people were in attendance, along with several candidates for office: Terry Stulce, Billy Long, Mike Acuff, and myself.
