As we prepare to go into our new work week, it’s with summer on our minds.
The Shelby County Board of Commissioners will meet after having heard Shelby County Mayor Lee Harris’ budget for the new fiscal year, which begins July 1.
School ends for all Shelby County public school systems this week, though on different days.
And the Memphis Hope Festival is Friday. The festival commemorates Memphis’ 206th birthday and is hosted by Shelby County, the City of Memphis and Hope Center.
Newsletter editor Bianca Phillips is here today to tell us all about it.
