What's NEW?

I know that when you go to a web site, you're usually wondering,
'Has anything changed??' and 'What's NEW?'
Here you will find the latest updates to our fan club website.
Hopefully, this will help to make the site more user friendly.

Check in often for the latest NEW pages, or information.

<><><><><><><><>
Just a note..
Sometimes when opening a web page that has lots of graphics (or large image or sound files),
it may be necessary to refresh the page in order for all the images to load...especially with the newer systems.
If you are accessing our website via a mobile phone, you probably are NOT getting some of the intended effects.
On some phones, the background music will not be heard...also...the different styles of scripts such as 'Java' may not be available.
So, when possible, please view our website via a computer, for full enjoyment.
The pages I build for our website include different types of scripting and lots of graphics, so...
for BEST performance, I do suggest using 'Internet Explorer' for browsing.
It has been brought to my attention that other browsers (Firefox, Google Chrome, etc.) do NOT allow the background music, and some of the scripting
that MOST of these pages will include. SO sorry about that!
WHEN I GET A CHANCE, I will try to find out how to make my pages adaptable to at least MOST browsers.
I am NOT a PROFESSIONAL by ANY stretch of the imagination, Ha!...but I will do my best to make this website work for as many as I can.
So sorry that some of you haven't been able to get the 'full effect' of some of our material.
If you see problems with viewing of our website, please EMAIL ME.
Thanks SO much to so MANY of you, for your support in my efforts to keep this site up and running.

Former Popular Dollywood and Pigeon Forge Musician James Rogers
Will Perform at Chattanooga Ronald McDonald House Annual Telethon

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. – Feb. 10, 2015- Former Dollywood performer, James Rogers, who worked with Dolly Parton for 27 years,
will be performing at Ronald McDonald House Charities® of Greater Chattanooga annual Telethon airing March 7, from 7 p.m. until 11 p.m. on WTVC.
The reason behind RMHC of Greater Chattanooga’s annual Telethon is to thank donors for their past support and to encourage viewers to call-in and make a donation.

RMHC of Greater Chattanooga is celebrating 25 years and wanted to incorporate Rogers not only for entertainment purposes,
but because he is a respected Chattanooga native. In his early days, Rogers played at Music Mansion in Pigeon Forge
where 2,000 seats were nearly full each night.

According to Jane Kaylor, President and CEO of Chattanooga RMHC,
“James Rogers has long been a friend of critically-ill children…entertaining them with his music
and raising funds for a variety of charities that provides services to sick children.
Right before the Chattanooga Ronald McDonald House opened in 1990, James recorded a public service announcement
to bring awareness of and funding for the “House that love built” adjacent to Children’s Hospital at Erlanger.”

The four-hour prime time telecast hosted by WTVC is part of RMHC of Greater Chattanooga’s annual Share-A-Night campaign,
which encourages donations in $55 increments to help pay for a family’s night stay.
Families are asked to make a $10 donation to help offset a portion of the expenses;
however, 70% of the families are unable to afford the nominal contribution.
No family is ever turned away for their inability to make the requested donation.
Share-A-Night contributions make it possible for families to stay at RMHC regardless of their financial situation.

The telecast will also have interviews of past families, volunteers, and businesses who’ve been impacted by RMHC in a substantial way.
The Tennessee La-Z-Boy manufacturing facility will have a “La-Z-Boy Lounge”
that will showcase their donated furniture to RMHC of Greater Chattanooga that will be up for bid that evening.

Turn your TV channel to WTVC-News Channel 9 on the evening of March 7
and see stories motivating the public to believe in the organization’s mission
of serving families with critically ill and injured children.
To find out more, contact (423) 778-4300 or visit www.rmhchattanooga.com.
