INCOGNITO at Memphis Botanical Garden Center in January
Memphis Botanic Gardens is hosting an art exhibit and fundraiser called "INCOGNITO" during January. "Buy what you love, not who you know" is the theme so contributing artists are instructed not to sign our works, or give anyone a description of our art work to keep it truly INCOGNITO. It could be called IncogNEAT0: What a deal for collectors! All bidding starts at $40. For those of you who plan ahead, the event will be held on January 20th from 6-8. Please inform your friends of this fun event and encourage them to purchase Admission Auction tickets. Tickets for purchase are $25 for members and $35 for non members and include hors d'oeuvres and wine. Some contributing artists will be present to sign their works afterwards. Thank you all for helping to make this a great fund raiser for the Memphis Botanic Garden. 
P.S. I have completed a photo book of Memphis Botanical Gardens. Pick up one copy at the Holiday Fine Art Festival at Kirby, Poplar in the Carrefour Center for $25. or order one by contacting kfrancis427@gmail.com to purchase.

A Monument of the Mind
My response to news about the Nineteenth Century Club:
(Memphis) To me, the Nineteenth Century Club is a monument not to a period of time, but to good citizenship. It is the birthplace of ideas that helped this city grow in strength and beauty, a monument of the mind. Its name is the name of a Club whose members have helped everyone living in Memphis even to this day. Who has not played in the parks of Memphis? This club created the Parks and Recreation system by organizing the first public playground. If each Memphian who ever enjoyed summers in the parks contributed ten dollars, the Nineteenth Century could have its repairs done in no time. This same group of forward thinking club members started City Beautiful campaign in 1930 which lasted through the fifties and sixties and produced results winning national acclaim and tourists for Memphis. This club also helped build hospitals and education associations. This building on Union could become a highlight on tours of the secret treasures in Memphis, like the lovely homes in the Historical District of New Orleans. In some cities, the government would purchase the land and rent the building back back to the organization or owner in perpetuity (or at least 99 years) for $1.00 a year. By eliminating the tax burden, the organization might be able to make the needed repairs.
