Country music star Trace Adkins paints his hand to add his handprint to Brooke Barnett's artwork during this year's BellSouth Senior Classic annual paint party. Adkins was the host of the party on Tuesday held in Langford Auditorium. The artwork becomes the awards given to winners of the Trace Adkins Celebrity Kids Classic golf tournament on June 9 at the Springhouse Golf Club as part of the BellSouth Senior Classic golf tournament at Gaylord Opryland. The tournament raises money for Vanderbilt Children's Hospital, Middle Tennessee Council Boy Scouts of America, Girl Scout Council of Cumberland Valley, Boys & Girls Clubs of Middle Tennessee, Family & Children's Services and Tennessee Lions Charities.

Dermatology schedules skin cancer screening
VUMC’s division of Dermatology has scheduled its annual staff and faculty skin cancer screening for Wednesday, May 29, from 8 a.m. to noon., at the Dermatology clinic on the third floor of The Vanderbilt Clinic.
The event is an opportunity to get a free, full-body exam by a dermatologist — an exam which is recommended by the American Cancer Society for everybody over the age of 20. Screenings are offered by appointment only, and there are a limited number of slots. To schedule an appointment, call 322-7823 and leave a message with your name and number. A Dermatology staff member will call back to schedule a screening appointment.
Those who wish to have their children or other family members also receive a skin screening may consider attending the Nashville Dermatological Society’s annual community skin cancer screening on Saturday, May 4 from 8 to 11 a.m. That event, which includes the participation of dermatologists from all over the community, is hosted on a rotating basis by several local hospitals; this year’s event is at Baptist Hospital. No appointment is necessary.
