SERVPRO of Rocky Hill/Sequoyah
Hills/South Knoxville wants to
remind homeowners to beware of
the fire hazards that unfortunately
come with this happy season! Many
know lighted decorations and dry
Christmas trees are a culprit but you
may not realize the 10 days with the
highest average of fires are after
Dec. 25 because it is tempting to
stop watering the tree, replacing
outdoor bulbs or tucking indoor
garlands away from fireplaces or
sockets. For more safety tips visit
www.servpro.com.
The Chamber welcomes new CEO
of Tennova Turkey Creek Medical
Center, Ben Youree! Youree comes
to Knoxville after serving as CEO at
Dyersburg Regional Medical Center
(Dyersburg, TN) since 2012. Youree
is excited about his role at TCMC,
saying, “I am honored to support
their work that makes this hospital a
great place for patients to receive
quality, personalized care.” Tennova
Healthcare CEO, Neil Heatherly felt
Youree’s “strong track record of
advancing the care and experience
for patients will benefit our health
system and the community.”
Congratulations to Corporate
Quarters as they celebrate 20 years
of making your comfort their business and providing business travelers and individuals displaced due to
relocation or life events with furnished housing and other helpful
amenities!
Each December the Chamber hosts its Holiday
Open House as a way of welcoming the season
and saying “Thank you” to the members who support us all year long. Members’ donations of their
business’ services, time, and food are
essential to the event’s success; this year was no
exception.
Rothchild’s Events & Catering set up a festive
outdoor tent in front of the Chamber office on
Dec. 11, decorating it with holiday lights and
green and gold draped tables. The 4 to 7 p.m.
Open House saw most guests start by touring the
tent sampling food from local restaurants and
businesses. Abuelo’s, Archer’s BBQ Knoxville
West, Best Bagels & Deli, Big Kahuna Wings,
Brenda Beaty Cooks4U, Calhoun’s, Jets Pizza,
Kroger, Sam’s Club West, Sherrill Hills
Retirement Community, The Shrimp Dock, and
Snappy Tomato Pizza of Farragut all served up a
variety of their signature menu items. Dixie Lee
Wines & Liquors kept guests’ glasses sparkling
with great wines and liqueurs while The Casual
Pint – Northshore teamed up with The Casual
Pint – Farragut to offer a duo of craft beers. Mind
Yer Ps & Qs, the only wine and beer lounge in the
area, showcased select beers on tap as well!
A record number of faces were seen throughout
the evening. All enjoyed seasonal music and live
student performances courtesy of Angela Floyd
School of Dance & Music. There was even a guest
appearance by Santa Claus (volunteer Scott
Jones).
Guests inside the Chamber office enjoyed fresh
coffee from local roaster Spero Coffee by the 9foot tree, as well as red and white floral arrangements from Posh Petal Designs. The Chamber’s
conference-room-turned-dessert-den was spread
with cakes, pastries and cookies from Buttermilk
Sky Pie Shop, Clarity Pointe Knoxville, Costco,
Fairfield Inn & Suites Knoxville West, “Mom’s”
Truffles, NHC Assisted Living, Potbelly Sandwich
Shop, and samples of Eggnog, Red Velvet and
Berry frozen yogurt from Sweet Frog. A long line
quickly formed outside the president’s office for
Oasis Day Spa’s complimentary chair massages!
The Chamber staff was very proud of the gold
Giving Tree which collected donations for Mission
of Hope. By the end of the evening the crowd had
filled the floor with toys and warm clothing.
Mission of Hope helps families in the nearby rural
Appalachian communities suffering from poverty,
have a happy holiday. Director Emmett
Thompson was on hand to thank guests throughout the night and volunteers rolled two brimming
industrial bins out of the Chamber the next day!
Chamber intern Aleah Reno-Demick was the
grateful recipient of a Continuing Education
Grant which was presented by Bettye Sisco in
recognition of her exceptional work at the
Chamber during her senior fall semester. RenoDemick will graduate from Farragut High School
in the spring.
Thank you again to ALL who helped make this
event the success that it was. We hope to see
everyone again next December and wish you and
yours a very Merry Christmas and Happy Holiday!

Patricia Kilgore - Koko FitClub and Mike and Christine Holober M&M Jewelers. For Chamber members John Randazzo - FISH
Window Cleaning and Lynne and Andrew Randazzo - Prime
Medical Training the Open House is a festive family affair!

Wreaths on doors
and lights on trees
mean one thing
for
Knoxville:
Christmas is coming! Since 2005,
Christmas Décor of Knoxville has been
instrumental in decorating the area for
this festive season. The company provides extravagant exterior holiday displays to local commercial and residential
clients. Owner, Jinni Redmond, says
Christmas Décor is different from other
businesses of its kind because, “We don’t
call our customers ‘customers’, we call
them ‘clients’ because we want to partner with them.” This partnership allows
the client to be involved in every aspect
of the decorating process, from the
design to the installation. Having the
clients involved ensures their satisfaction and allows Christmas Décor to create a display unique to each home or
business.
The company not only does complete
exterior decorating, but also offers roof
displays and decorating for weddings and
events year-round. “Whatever our clients
want, we make it happen,” states
Redmond, “We will go above and beyond
to ensure their happiness.” Christmas
Décor has done just that for many homes
and businesses in Farragut. Volunteer
Pharmacy, Rick Terry Jewelry Designs,
and Farragut Wine and Spirits are just a
few of the businesses where Farragut residents can admire the company’s work.
However, putting up magnificent displays is only part of what Christmas
Décor of Knoxville does. The company
was founded with a dedication to philanthropy. They believe it is their duty to
spread the joy and spirit of the holidays,
not only to their clients, but to those in
need as well. Over 10% of profits are
donated to charities for children. “We
make sure our clients know where their
money is going and most are all too
happy to help,” explains Redmond.
So, this holiday season, give back to
the community while also becoming the
best decorated business or house on the
block! Give Christmas Décor of Knoxville
a call at 865-769-0039.
NOTE: The Chamber appreciates all of
Aleah’s hard work this past fall and will
miss her greatly! We wish her much success in her new hostess position at
Chamber member Hurricane Grill &
Wings on Lovell Road as well as in completing her senior year at Farragut
High School.
