TOWN 'N COUNTRY - Fran Gamester has been named chairwoman of the Town 'N Country committee in charge of planning the community's 50th birthday bash.

Though the event is more than a year off, the committee has already decided on a name for the event, authorized the opening of a checking account, selected a venue, picked a date and begun laying the groundwork for what the festivities will include.

Terry Fortino, a member of the volunteer group, has donated his expertise and covered the expenses for setting up a Web site for the event. The address is townncountry 50.tbbni.us.

He also did a variety of letterheads for the group to consider for the event's stationery.

Like most committees, they had a few suggestions, but by the time they left the meeting, the group had settled on a letterhead and a name for their event.

They're going with "TNC 50, Going Gold."

The group's next meeting will be at 6:30 p.m. Sept. 29 at Town 'N Country Recreation Center, 6039 Hanley Road.

The meeting will be at night to give people who work during the day a chance to become involved. If the meeting gets a good turnout, the group will likely begin alternating future meetings between day and night sessions. Otherwise, they'll most likely stick to daytime meetings.

"This is a community project. We should have people involved," said Gamester, who also serves as president of the Town 'N Country Garden Circle.

If you'd like information or would like to get involved, call Rob or Fran Gamester at (813) 884-3462.
