| Tocqueville Philanthropy Award |
|
 Our annual Tocqueville Celebration of Thanks was held October 7 at the Patten family's beautiful home, Ashland Farm. Approximately 50 Tocqueville Society members joined us that evening for a wonderful affair. To those of you who were unable to join us, you were greatly missed.
We presented our 2008 philanthropy award to the Davenport Family: Mrs. Joseph Davenport, Jr., Joe and Susan Davenport, and Ward and Ashley Davenport. The award, created by Cessna Decosimo, depicts his artistic interpretation of a woman in need.
The entire Davenport family was recently honored for their generous philanthropic efforts in the Chattanooga area.

| Your Tocqueville Legacy |
|
What could happen for every Tocqueville Society member who endows his or her annual gift?
- United Way could give 714 children a free book every month, for one year.
- United Way could help provide one month's utility services to 63 homes for one year, through its agency partners.
- United Way could help provide more than 1,100 food vouchers for one year, through its agency partners.
These are just a few of the things United Way could do with each endowed gift.
Kudos to our Tocqueville Society - with only four more participating members, we will be the first Tocqueville Society in the nation to reach United Way's national goal for Legacy Circle membership to equal 15% of total Society membership.
If you would like to participate, please call Brent Taylor at 423-752-0310 for more information.
