Funeral home seeks city approval to host Grandparents Day at Foster Smith Log Cabin
Summary
Jamie Wilson of Brooke Cannon Funeral Home asked the board to permit a Grandparents Day celebration on Sept. 12 at Foster Smith Log Cabin, offering refreshments, music and family activities; the Chamber of Commerce clarified property control and staff noted electrical access will be the city's likely contribution.
Jamie Wilson (S4), introduced at the meeting as representing Brookhaven Funeral Home, requested permission for Brooke Cannon Funeral Home to sponsor and organize a Grandparents Day celebration downtown at Foster Smith Log Cabin on Sept. 12 from 5 to 7 p.m., describing light refreshments, games, music and keepsake projects intended to bring grandparents and grandchildren together.
City staff and councilors asked about property control and logistics; a city representative (S5) clarified the log cabin is controlled by the Chamber of Commerce and that the city's likely on-site role would be limited to providing electrical plug-ins if needed, with formal coordination to be handled through the clerk's or mayor's office.
