Local Famous Dave's Barbeque owners Mike and Tamara Lister and Doug and Laurel Renegar have won the company's first Community Involvement Award for their support of the Knoxville community.
Famous Dave's is a Knoxville Chamber member business.
"Having the change to help others ... that's what being 'Famous' is all about," said the Renegars.
Some of their philanthropic pursuits include working with the Make-a-Wish Foundation and a Memorial Day letter writing campaign.
RM Technology Group, a member of the Knoxville Chamber, has initiated a bill that would have convicted sex offenders provide the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation with their email address, instant message and chat names, and other identifying online contact information.
“This bill presents an outstanding opportunity for us to strengthen Tennessee’s child protection laws,” said Senator Woodson. “I look forward to sponsoring this bill and working to keep our children safe from these predators.”
