On Wednesday, Aug. 25, members from the Torch Club of the Haslam Family University Boys & Girls Club in Knoxville donated $302 to the Coq Chante orphanage in Haiti. The Haslam Family University Club is a member of Boys & Members Clubs of the Tennessee Valley.

The members raised the money through a teen-based service program called Dinners with a Mission, through which they sell tickets to parents and family members for theme-based meals that they prepare themselves. All profits from these ticket sales were donated to White Stone Church, which supports and sends funds to the orphanage in Haiti.

On the day of a Dinners with a Mission event, Torch Club members are responsible for preparing meals, serving them to other club members, parents and community members and presenting information about preselected charities and non-profits.

Throughout the course of Dinners with a Mission, guided discussions are provided to promote critical thinking about community needs. The activities provide members with experience in the democratic process, practicing researching and developing service projects, budgeting and collaborating with their community and feedback from a final review.

Posted by Erin Freeman – September 22, 2010

Richmond, Va. – Cellular Sales, the nation’s largest Verizon premium wireless retailer, today announced a major expansion in Virginia.  The company will open three new stores and add at least 100 new sales consultants in the next two months.

Cellular Sales Verizon Wireless will open new stores in Ashland, Dumfries and Fredericksburg which represent an investment of well over $1 million.  Currently, Cellular Sales operates locations throughout Virginia and has more than 300 stores across the United States.  According to Wendy Rickenback, the Virginia recruiter for Cellular Sales, sales consultants for the company earn an average of more than $51,000 per year.

Last month, Cellular Sales announced it would hire between 200 and 250 new employees to work at its National Call Center in Knoxville, Tenn.  The new call will employ supervisors, managers and customer service representatives in full-time and part-time positions.

Rick Alberg, Virginia Regional Director for Cellular Sales, said, “This unbelievable growth Cellular Sales is experiencing is directly related to the ultimate customer service we provide.  We do things that other companies cannot or will not do.

“We want every customer who purchases a wireless device in one of our 300-plus stores across the country to get a call from us within 24 hours of the time they leave our store,” Alberg said.

“Every customer we call is asked what their in-store experience was like, we make sure they understand how their new phone operates and make sure they understand their service plan.  It’s just one more way Cellular Sales guarantees that our customers are getting unparalleled service.”

Cellular Sales Verizon Wireless also conducts ongoing analysis of its customers’ phone usage so the company can notify customers when other service plans would be more cost effective for them.

“Everyone uses their wireless phone differently,” said Alberg.  “Here at Cellular Sales, we monitor how our customers are using their phones and reach out to them if we recognize usage trends that are better-suited to other service plans.  It’s one of the extra steps we take to establish a strong, one-on-one relationship with our customers.

“As a company, we have grown by about 30 percent every year.  Our expansion in Virginia is not a one-time event.  We have every intention to continue this pattern in Virginia and in all of our markets.”

Cellular Sales is a 17-year old privately held company founded and headquartered in Knoxville, Tenn.  The company currently operates throughout the United States.  By year end, Cellular Sales will open at least 50 new stores in markets across the United States, bringing the company’s total number of locations to around 400.  For the past three years, Inc. Magazine has named Cellular Sales one of the nation’s fastest growing retail companies in the country.

This year, Inc. magazine listed Cellular Sales at No. 72 on its list of the nation’s fastest growing companies according to gross dollars of growth. Cellular Sales was ranked No. 1,856 on the fourth annual overall list of the nation’s fastest growing companies (up from No. 2,069 last year).  The “Inc. 5,000” represents a comprehensive look at America’s independent-minded entrepreneurs.

Wilderness at the Smokies Resort To Take Part in Pool Safety Day

Posted by Erin Freeman – September 22, 2010

Sevierville, Tenn. –  Wilderness at the Smokies resort will participate in the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission’s (CPSC) Pool Safety Day on Monday, Sept. 27, 2010.  Pool Safety Day is an opportunity for Wilderness at the Smokies to demonstrate its support of the national public education campaign and the life-saving message that “simple steps save lives.”

“Wilderness at the Smokies is committed to the safety of its guests,” said Dave McGregor, General Manager of Wilderness at the Smokies resort.

McGregor said, “Each and every lifeguard at Wilderness at the Smokies is Ellis Trained and Certified – and they meet the industry’s absolute highest training standards.  Ellis Training involves some of the most rigorous physical and academic testing in the world – and it doesn’t stop at certification.  Over and above the stringent Ellis requirements, Wilderness at the Smokies randomly tests and challenges its lifeguards on a weekly basis to ensure the highest level of safety for our guests.”

CPSC’s Pool Safely campaign is a first-of-its kind national public education effort to reduce child drownings, near-drownings, and entrapments in swimming pools and spas.  The Pool Safely campaign is a key part of the CPSC’s efforts to carry out the requirements of the Virginia Graeme Baker Pool and Spa Safely Act (P&SS Act), a child safety law aimed at making pools and spas safer.  The Act includes a requirement for a national public education campaign designed to raise public awareness, bolster industry compliance, and reduce deaths and injuries in and around pools and spas.

“Drowning prevention and swimming safety is one of CPSC’s highest priorities, especially since the incidents involving children are preventable,” said Inez M. Tenenbaum, Chairman of the CPSC.  “We at CPSC are proud that water parks and aquatic facilities around the country are joining forces with us on Sept. 27 to participate in Pool Safely Day.  I encourage everyone to take simple steps year round in pools, spas, indoor water parks and aquatic facilities – it can save a life.”

CPSC estimates that nearly 300 children younger than five drown in swimming pools and spas each year and more than 3,200 that age go to hospital emergency rooms due to non-fatal submersion injuries.  An unknown number of these hospitalizations result in permanent disability, including brain damage.  These deaths and injuries are preventable and public participation in the campaign can help spread the campaign’s messages to parents and families and help prevent future tragedies.

“When you look at the 1,000 waterparks in the United States – and the approximately 80 million people who visit waterparks each and every year – the safety record is extraordinary,” McGregor said.  “Waterparks continue to provide the absolute safest place for families to play in the water together.

“Statistically, you are far more likely to be injured riding a bicycle or ironing your clothes than you are at a waterpark.  Compared to other recreational aquatic activities, both guarded and unguarded – including community pools, beaches, lakes, etc. – waterparks have the lowest risk of drowning.  As members of the World Waterpark Association (WWA), Wilderness at the Smokies supports any and all industry efforts to enhance the already amazingly safe environment we provide for our guests.”

Wilderness at the Smokies, located minutes from Interstate 40 and situated in the foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains, is establishing a new standard for conferences, conventions and meetings in East Tennessee.  With two 18-hole golf courses, two outdoor waterparks, an indoor waterpark with a wave pool and surf rider, hot tubs, and countless waterslides and attractions, Wilderness at the Smokies has something for all age groups.

For more information on the Pool Safely campaign, visit the website at www.poolsafety.gov.  For more information about Wilderness at the Smokies resort, visit www.WildernessAtTheSmokies.com.

Local child author gets surprise book deal

Posted by Erin Freeman – September 16, 2010

Pigeon Forge, Tenn. – Earlier this summer, 9-year old Luke Copas toured the new Titanic Museum Attraction in Pigeon Forge, Tenn. with his mother and father, Sabrina and Robby Copas.  The fourth grader at Northview Primary School in Kodak, Tenn. was no stranger to the world’s most famous luxury liner; in fact, he had already written a book about it – but his visit to the museum would lead to a huge surprise for the young writer.

Titanic Museum Attraction First Class Maid Jaynee presents Luke Copas with a copy of his newly published book.

Last school year, then 8-year old Luke had been selected to participate in the “Child Authors’ Conference.”  An avid reader who loved learning about the past, Luke wanted his book to create a passion in other children for history.

Sabrina Copas said, “Luke became a walking encyclopedia of all things Titanic.  He was literally consumed by it.  When it came time for him to actually write his book for the Child Authors’ Conference, it took him less than one week to write it because he knew the subject matter so well.”

Luke took his book to the Titanic Museum Attraction and showed it to co-owner Mary Kellogg-Joslyn.  Impressed with the boy’s talent and driven by his enthusiasm, Kellogg-Joslyn secretly made a few phone calls and landed the boy a book deal.

“He has an amazing talent,” Kellogg-Joslyn said.  “The first time I read his book, I couldn’t believe my eyes.  He writes so well and researched this book so deeply that I simply wanted to share it with others.”

On Thursday, Sept. 16, Luke’s entire class at Northview Primary School was summonsed to the school library, where Kellogg-Joslyn and Titanic Museum Attraction First Class Maid Jaynee made a surprise appearance.  At first, Luke didn’t know why they were there – but when he saw the first copy of Facts For Kids About the Titanic his face changed expressions.

“That’s MY book!” Luke proudly proclaimed to his classmates and Cub Scout friends who had joined him for his special surprise.  Luke Copas’ new book Facts For Kids About the Titanic was released this week and is now available at the Titanic Museum Attraction gift shop.

On Saturday, Sept. 18 from noon until 2 p.m. Luke Copas will sign copies of his new book Facts For Kids About the Titanic in the gift shop at the Titanic Museum Attraction in Pigeon Forge.  The gift shop is always open to the public.

Since opening last April, nearly 500,000 visitors have been welcomed aboard Titanic Museum Attraction.  The Titanic Museum Attraction – which is conveniently located to all areas of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge and Sevierville – is now open every day from 9 a.m. until 9 p.m. ET.  Tickets are available online at www.TitanicPigeonForge.com and visitors are strongly urged to purchase tickets in advance or make reservations by calling 1-800-381-7670.  The museum has something special for each and every member of your family.

Cedar Bay Entertainment, which owns and operates Titanic Museum Attraction, is a privately owned entertainment and development company headquartered in Branson, Missouri, the site of Cedar Bay’s first Titanic Museum Attraction. Since its April 2006 grand opening, it has welcomed more than 2,700,000 guests.
