a claim online. Treasury rec- ommends searching for com- mon misspellings of your name and addresses as well. There is no time limit in


Tennessee to claim unclaimed property. It is held for the right- ful owner or their legal benefi- ciaries until it is claimed. Treasury’s Unclaimed Property Division works throughout the year using a variety of meth- ods to track down the owners of these monies, and also pro- vides a variety of ways for citi- zens to search for missing funds. “We have put an emphasis


on improving the efficiency of the Unclaimed Property pro- gram, which has allowed us to reunite even more people with their unclaimed funds over the last fiscal year,” said State Treasurer David H. Lillard, Jr. “We’re proud to offer this serv- ice to the people.” The Tennessee Treasury


Department provides the un- claimed property service to cit-


izens completely free of charge and will never ask you to pay a fee to claim money that belongs to you. If you are asked to make a payment to process your claim for unclaimed prop- erty, be aware you are working with a company that is not affiliated with the Tennessee Treasury Department. Once a claim is received, the


Unclaimed Property Division dutifully verifies the funds are truly going to the correct person. The time needed to process claims will vary on the information provided; some claims can be returned in as lit- tle as two weeks, but others may take longer. The division does expedite claims filed through ClaimItTN.gov. If people do not have inter-


net access, they may call the Unclaimed Property Division at (615) 741-6499 and they will start the claims process, and mail a form to be completed. Then the appropriate docu- mentation requested on the claim form will need to be mailed to the Unclaimed Property Division located in Nashville.


Prominent Nashville business and civic leader Kitty Moon Emery has passed


Prominent Nashville busi- ness and civic leader Kitty Moon Emery died, Wednesday, February 8, 2017. From her childhood days at


the family business, Moon Drug Co., to a ground-breaking career in media and promotion, Kitty has always been at the epicen- ter. This is evident not only in her long list of professional achievements, but even more so in her remarkable leadership as a volunteer. After graduating from


Abandoned Sun Valley Swim Club, just outside Nashville.


Stephens College with a major in film and television produc- tion, Kitty orchestrated fund- raising activities at public tele- vision stations in Nashville and Tallahassee, Florida, where she hosted multiple on-air televi- sion shows. After her time in Florida, she became Press Secretary for U.S. Senator Bill Brock in Washington, D.C., one of only two female senatorial Press Secretaries on the Hill at the time. From there, she moved to New York City, where she served as Associate Director of Advertising for Ronald Reagan’s first presiden- tial campaign. Returning to Nashville, Kitty co-founded Scene Three, Inc., a film and television pro- duction company which grew into a multimillion dollar enterprise and one of the largest and most successful pro- duction companies in the Southeast. In addition to serv- ing as president and overseeing operations, Kitty produced many of Scene Three’s award- winning projects, including Garth Brooks’ “The Dance,” CMA Best Music Video of the Year award; CBS Primetime Special “A Day in the Life of Country Music,” winner of the Cine Gold Eagle Award; and “NHL Comes to Nashville,” a promotional film that former Predators owner Craig Leipold credits with persuading the NHL to grant Nashville its hockey franchise. Most recently, Kitty served as CEO of Kitty Moon Enter- prises, a growth consulting company designed to help busi- nesses and individuals flourish in the global marketplace. Over the past four years, she devoted her efforts to working with Dr. Scott Massey to create The Global Action Platform, a university/business alliance focused on food, health and eco- nomic development to provide every individual a chance to thrive in the global market- place.
