The Crescent Club’s young executive group, mYEX, is hosting another event you may want to check out. It’s a fundraiser for MASE and will be held on Friday, November 15th at The Crescent Club.
I’m a big fan of MASE. If you haven’t heard of it, MASE stands for the Memphis Academy of Science and Engineering. It’s a Memphis charter school, but I tend to think of it as a magnet school since they have a focus on science. Students and teachers will be on hand to meet guests.
Join Mayor Mark H. Luttrell, Jr. and other elected Memphis officials for an open house at the Wolf River Development in Frayser on Thursday, November 14th between 2 PM and 3 PM.
The project was built to EcoBUILD standards and is equipped with solar panels.
This is a great networking event if you are interested in sustainability, politics, or the City of Memphis.

The New Memphis Institute is accepting applications for their fellows program. The program lasts approximately one year and provides leadership training and great networking opportunities across different industries throughout Memphis. I’m a graduate from this program, so I can personally speak to the benefits that it provided to me.
Here’s more about the program from the New Memphis website:
The New Memphis Institute trains leaders with a mission – to develop their personal potential so Memphis reaches its full potential. All that is done contributes to a mission with a purpose: leadership that ripples from New Memphis’ programs and improves all facets of Memphis – neighborhoods, schools, government, economic development, and civic life.
If you would like to learn more about New Memphis, they are holding an information session on Wednesday, November 13th from NOON to 1 PM at the Germantown Community Library.
The South Main Association is having their monthly meeting on Tuesday, November 12th. It will be held at The Blues Foundation, at 421 South Main Street.
The featured speaker is Mei-Ann Chen. An innovative and passionate force both on and off the conductor’s podium, Mei-Ann Chen is one of America’s most dynamic young conductors. Music Director of the Memphis Symphony since 2010 and of the Chicago Sinfonietta since 2011, she has infused both orchestras with energy, enthusiasm and high-level music-making, galvanizing their audiences and communities alike.
I have seen Mei-Ann in concert and she is amazing to say the least. I cannot wait to hear her speak.
Additionally, the South Main Association meetings are a great place to meet professionals who live downtown. In fact, in 2006, I found a job during a SMA meeting! The lesson is: always bring your business cards.
The event begins with networking at 6:00 PM. At 6:30 PM, the speaker and program will begin. The cost is $10 for guests. There will be complimentary appetizers and a cash bar.
The Downtown Neighborhood Association (DNA) is hosting their annual food drive for the Mid-South Food Bank on Tuesday, November 19th.
The event will be held at 514 South Main Street at 6 PM. Bring a cash donation, or canned goods.
This event would be great for those interested in working downtown, or getting more involved in the downtown community. There are many important community leaders who are a part of this organization, and this intimate gathering would be a great place to meet them.
