LUNCHEON TO HONOR DR. BRADY WHITEHEAD

Dr. Brady Whitehead has been the founder and director and an instructor of the Tennessee-Holston Course of Study Extension School for nine years. Dr. Whitehead has been instrumental in the school being successful in educating countless numbers of part-time local pastors from the Tennessee and Holston Conferences, as well as other conferences. Many local pastors have been fortunate to have Brady as an instructor, mentor, and friend. Dr. Whitehead will be retiring as Director of the Tennessee-Holston COS at the end of 2006.

The Tennessee-Holston COS Advisory Board would like to invite all of Brady’s former and current students, instructors, and friends to join in thanking and honoring him for his faithful service. There will be retirement luncheons held at the COS Schools in September (Martin Methodist) and November (Hiwassee), 2006.

The luncheon at Martin Methodist College will be held at Noon on Saturday, September 30. If you are not a student or instructor at that session, you are still invited to attend at a cost of $10. Contact Tina McGill at tmcgill@martinmethodist.edu or 931-363-9898 to make your reservations as soon as possible. Put “Brady Whitehead Retirement” in the subject line of emails. Students enrolled in the September school and instructors at the September school do not need to make reservations.

Information on the luncheon at Hiwassee in November will be coming from the Holston Conference.

A book of letters will be presented to Dr. Whitehead at the Hiwassee luncheon on November 18, 2006. If you would like to contribute a letter, please send it to Shirley Toomey, Hiwassee College, 225 Hiwassee College Drive, Madisonville, Tennessee 37354-4001.

If you have any questions, contact Rev. Earl Davis at earldavis@djis.net or 931-682-2883.
