Shelby Farms has a monthly volunteer activity that’s held on the first Saturday of every month. The next Whistle While You Work volunteer opportunity is coming up on Saturday, December 7th from 9 AM to NOON. This is a great, FREE opportunity to network.
Volunteers help repair trails around Shelby Farms Park and perform maintenance projects including mulch spreading, gardening, removing dead tree limbs, and removing privet. Most trail areas are open and wide. Shelby Farms Park Conservancy will provide tools such as wheelbarrows, rakes, and shovels. Volunteers are encouraged to bring their own work gloves and water bottles.
The Memphis Heritage organization is hosting a book signing. It will be held on Saturday, December 7th. The format is an open house from 10 AM to 5 PM at Howard Hall. Howard Hall is located at 2282 Madison Avenue at Edgewood.
The book is called Memphis Movie Theatres by Vincent Astor. Signed copies will be available at the event.
If you haven’t heard of Memphis Heritage, their mission is to educate and coordinate individuals and groups to save, improve, reuse, and maintain
architecturally and historically significant buildings, neighborhoods, parks, and cultural artifacts of Shelby County, Tennessee.
There is one night a month when all of Downtown Memphis is together in one place: South Main Art Trolley Tour.
Trolley Tour is a night when all of the shops and galleries in South Main open their doors until 9 PM. There is often free or discounted wine and beer, live music, and great conversation.
This event is an excellent one to bump into old contacts and make new ones. Downtown’s most influential leaders always stop by, along with Memphis loving downtowners. If you haven’t been, you should check it out.
Again, this is more of a social event, but be sure to keep your business cards on hand. You never know who you might meet.
