To all our fellow midtowners and other supporters, T hank you from the bottom of my heart for your outstanding support to save the Historic Landmark Union Ave.Methodist Church and to have the Memphis City Council understand that the residents of midtown should have a voice in what they want to see happen in their neighborhood.

Thanks to Councilman Jim Strickland and Shea Flinn for their great support.

We gave it our best!  Please don't let this make you give up on continuing to try to make Memphis a " City of Choice"

Thanks again for all your great support!

June West
