Accentuate the Positive

news

Accentuate the Positive (ATP) is a community-wide celebration, to salute the positive aspects of life in the region, and the people and organizations making a measurable difference in our community. Hundreds of quality of life supporters joined TMT at the Peppermill Tuscany Ballroom last October 9th for ATP 2009.  The event is typically biennial, but TMT is reviewing the format for greater focus on our community’s quality of life indicator’s performance.  So check back in early 2011 for more information on the next ATP.  And if you didn’t have a chance to attend the 2009 celebration, read below for more information.
