MPACT Memphis Launches Feedback Project
Organization brings young professionals and community leaders to the table for the first time
 
(July, 2010) MPACT Memphis, a young professional nonprofit founded in 2001 will hold a series of topical “MPACT Chats” in mid-to-late July. These chats are designed to bring together young professionals in the community, community leaders, successful entrepreneurs and civic leaders to examine the data MPACT found during their Voice of MPACT survey collection process almost a year ago.
 
“MPACT is looking for ways to engage not only our members and partner organizations, but also the community at large and find out how organizations are currently involved,” says Gwyn Fisher, MPACT’s Executive Director.

The fifth annual Tennessee Sales Tax Holiday will begin Friday, Aug. 6 and will continue through Sunday, Aug. 8. During this weekend, consumers can save almost 10 percent on tax-free clothing, school and art supplies and computer purchases.

Gov. Phil Bredesen said the holiday is intended to help families across the state.

"The holiday provides much needed savings for all Tennessee shoppers and prepares children for success by making sure they start the first day of school properly equipped with items they need," Bredesen said.
