NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Several churches are coming together in Nashville to host a voter registration drive as the deadline nears before the November general election.

Monday, Oct. 5, is the last day to register to vote in the election.

At the event, there will also be a voter education portion where voters can learn where their polling place is and what will be on their ballots in November.

"When we get to that ballot box, we know what we are going to do. We're not going to be surprised once we get there. Saturday you can come in with questions, but you can leave with a plan. It's that critically important for us to come together. Typically we think we are going to the ballot box alone, but on November 3, we are voting together. We want to make sure the neighborhoods are informed and have the proper tools they need to improve and shape their neighborhoods," said Alisha Haddock.

What: Ballots & Bites Voter Education and Voter Registration Drive
When: Saturday, October 3rd
Time: 10:00 a.m. – 12:00 noon

The skies were closed on 9/11. A Nashville phone call helped save a baby’s life

September 11, 2001 is a day most associate with terror and tragedy. Austin Pollack shares a story from that day about hope and persistence: the effort to save a little girl’s life – with an organ donation. The problem? The young patient was in Houston, and her life-saving liver here in Nashville. With the grounding of all civilian aircraft, how could it be done? “Nobody ever said this isn’t possible.”
