To build future leaders you must look to the past-and look back they did at the Star Gala, an event created by the Brentwood/Cool Springs Chamber of Commerce to raise funds for school grants and scholarships for Brentwood-area youth.

The theme-Splendor of the South: A Time to Remember-shone throughout the Cool Springs Marriott, starting at the door, where guests were greeted most hospitably by the lovely chair of the Brentwood Chamber of Commerce Teresa Miller.

And before the crowd could hit the ballroom floor to sway to the tunes of Pat Patrick and his band, they enjoyed a brief but mesmerizing ballroom dance demonstration that would have put Rhett Butler to shame.
