First Tennessee March of Service promotes volunteerism

MEMPHIS – Continuing a tradition launched following the celebration of its 150th anniversary in 2014, First Tennessee is once again promoting “March of Service” projects to benefit local nonprofits.
The annual volunteer effort is a call to action for First Tennessee workers to invest in their communities. Each March the company’s 4,300 employees pitch in to participate in service projects as departments or in small groups.
And as First Tennessee prepares to celebrate its 153rd anniversary on March 25, the company’s legacy of commitment to the communities it serves is stronger than ever.
During 2016, First Tennessee’s employees logged more than 23,000 hours of volunteer service at charitable and civic organizations, and participated in more than 4,700 unique volunteer events. First Tennessee employees also served as board members of more than 130 nonprofit organizations.
In Memphis and across West Tennessee, hundreds of employees rolled up their sleeves last year to create stronger communities by volunteering nearly 9,500 hours painting, cleaning, repairing, sprucing up and participating in fundraisers for numerous nonprofit spaces, as well as serving as financial literacy tutors.
Since 1864 First Tennessee has been committed to the customers and communities it serves by providing financial services and solutions, and demonstrating that commitment through community investment. And while First Tennessee highlights its volunteer spirit every March, the company’s community investment is ongoing.
First Tennessee welcomes inquiries from nonprofits about volunteer project opportunities. To submit a service project, please contact Margarett Frisby at mlfrisby@firsttennessee.com or visit https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/FTVolunteers.

EARLY VOTING HOURS CHANGE FOR 95th SPECIAL ELECTION PRIMARY

April 17, 2017 (Memphis, Tenn.) Today the times that Early Voting locations in the Special Election Primary are open for the House District 95 th House of Representatives seat will change. The two locations, one in Germantown at New Bethel Missionary Baptist Church and the other in Collierville at the Collierville Church of Christ, will be open from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. Tennessee law requires early voting to take place for a minimum of three hours with some evening hours. In the first week of early voting the polls were open from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. “We wanted a variety of hours so that people could vote regardless of their work schedule.” said Linda Phillips, administrator of elections for the Shelby County Election Commission (SCEC). This election affects a relatively small group of voters, (51,412 of whom 46,597 are active), so SCEC officials decided to open the two early voting precincts in the 95 th district for fewer hours than would be used in a county-wide election.   ...

Suburban Garden Club hosts second biannual flower show

By Rebekah Yearout The Germantown News  The Suburban Garden Club of Germantown’s biannual flower show, this year titled “Horse and Garden: The Flora and Fauna of Germantown, Tennessee” was held April 26 at the Germantown Country Club.  The show exhibited hundreds of designs, all created by SGC members. Many of the designs incorporated equestrian elements in keeping with the show’s theme, which flower show chair Elaine Hare said was an integral part of Germantown’s history.  See the entire story and additional photos in the May 3 edition of the Germantown News, out today.  The “Run for the Roses” display (Division II: Horticulture) at the Suburban Garden Club’s biannual flower show last Wednesday featured flowering shrubs and tree branches, such as dogwood, hydrangea, magnolia, flowering cherry, lilac and, of course, a variety of roses. / Photo by Rebekah Yearout
