Eastman Credit Union brings us to 91%!

This week Eastman Credit Union presented a $5000 donation to the Boone Street Market Capital campaign.  Eastman joins a growing list of supporters (see the donors tab) and pushes us over 90% to our goal!  Eastman CEO Olan Jones is a big supporter of farmers markets and sustainable agriculture.   He is excited about the developments at our market and was pleased to get a fresh dozen eggs, a market t-shirt and one of our beautiful Tim Robert's market mugs at the check presentation!

Pictured here: Mary Brugh (market volunteer), Perry Phillips (vendor), Jeff Stratton (vendor), Heidi Ehle (market manager), Olan Jones (Eastman CEO), Karen Childress (she-who-happily accepts-checks for Boone Street Market), Kelly Wolfe (Mayor of Jonesborough), Debbie Kruse (market manager) and Beth Finnegan (market volunteer.)  Town supporters Amber Crumley, Alicia Phelps and Melinda Copp were also there cheering us on!  Thank you all, and

THANK YOU EASTMAN CREDIT UNION
