Summer has officially arrived! While the warmer temperatures may not be for everyone, I look forward to this time of year for the simple joys it brings with longer days, sunshine and extra time with family and friends.

Our summer VIProfile features the one and only, Jeanne Bragg. To know Jeanne is to love Jeanne. Her charisma and charm are unmatched, and her gifts are innumerable. We hope you enjoy reading about her life, family, friends and all that makes her fondly known as “Mrs. Murfreesboro.”

The lovely downtown home of Sarah and Bill Jakes is the setting for our VIP Home. From their beautiful garden to the redesigned interior, the Jakes have transformed their house into a forever home, full of warmth and allure. 

In this special June/July edition, we’re shining a spotlight on our VIP Money Minders, featuring trusted local insurance and financial professionals who help support and strengthen our community. We hope you enjoy learning more about these experts and the valuable services they provide.

As a double issue, this edition is also packed with exciting events happening in Murfreesboro. From traditions like the Oaklands Spring Party and Backstage Bash to Murfreesboro Pickleball Social, there’s truly something for everyone. Be sure to browse both our June and July calendars to discover plenty of opportunities for fun, connection and unforgettable summer memories.

Wishing you a wonderful summer!
