Welcome To Kendra Cooke's Monthly e-NEWS - September 2009
Better late than never this month!
It is FALL YA’ALL! I can tell by looking at my calendar. This time of year always get crazy with so many parties to plan and attend, shopping, ballgames & more! I wanted to remind you of some events the Cooke Team has coming up so you can go ahead and pencil us in. I have already had several people ask us about our movie day! And yes we are having it again this year. We know that December gets so busy with Holiday events and travel, so we have moved our movie up to November! We are premiering a brand new movie coming out for the Christmas Holiday…A Christmas Carol! We have reserved the movie theater for November 7th @ 10am. Also, we like to give back to the community that is so good to us, and as you know we are partial to the Smyrna/LaVergne Food Bank. So we are having an Christmas Open House in my home on December 5th from 11-2pm. The only thing we request of you is to bring non-perishable items that we can donate to the Food Bank to be used for families in need during the holidays. This is a drop by for a Christmas treat and then you can be on your way! We will be contacting you closer to the date of both of these events to get you signed up to attend, but we wanted to make sure we gave you plenty of notice!
We hope all of you are enjoying the cooler weather and are thinking about how close the end of the year is. It will be here before you know it! Thank you for your business and referrals! God Bless~
Sincerely ~ Kendra Cooke

Installa a Garage Door Opener
(Source - DIY Network - http://www.diynetwork.com/)
Before getting started, carefully read all directions. Unplug and remove the old garage door opener. Removing the opener is a two-person job.
Disconnect the sensors and loosen the bolts holding the motor to the bracket, while a friend disconnects the hardware at the garage door. Remove the bolts and together lower the assembly.
Remove all old brackets and clear a space in the garage to assemble the new unit. Lay out all the pieces, screws and hardware and follow each step in the directions methodically. Do not even think about taking any shortcuts.
Find the centerline of your garage door and extend that up to the header (Image 1). Mark the holes for the mounting bracket, using a torpedo level to make sure everything's nice and level.
Put on safety glasses and drill pilot holes for the bolts, then mount the bracket using a socket driver (Image 2).
Attach the front of the track to the bracket, then rest the motor housing on the top of a stepladder. Eyeball the track and make sure it's at a 90-degree angle to the garage door.
Once it's aligned, attach metal hanging straps to motor, then secure the other end of straps to the ceiling joists or rafter.
Secure the track and opener arm at the garage door.
Install motion sensors about 4"-6"above ground level. Connect the wiring for the sensors and switch. Plug in the opener and test the machine.
