Re: Next Meeting June 14th

Hello Greenways Commission friends!

Quick message to share good news that Knoxville's newest greenway mural is just under 100% complete - but there's one last chance to help out before the big party July 10.

If you have time this weekend, our local "force of nature" behind the new mural, Chris Irwin, put out a call for helpers to apply the anti-graffiti top coat this weekend.

I put him in the "to" line of this this e-mail--  if you can help, Chris has the details.

I also wanted to encourage you to plan on going to the Sunday, July 10, 2 PM mural celebration at Tyson Park- and bring your friends!

You can RSVP via Facebook or just mark your calendar - they'll have music and amazing people.

Finally - 

These news pieces might help you recruit friends to join the celebration - great videography from WBIR:

And a recent highlight from the city blog:

Finally here's a panorama shot I grabbed off Facebook:

Big change from before, right?

Have a great weekend!

Hello!

Here is a photo of the mural progress on third creek greenway near Tyson Park!

If you would like to help - or know someone who might like to help paint - the artist could use a hand!

If painting is not your thing - make sure you mark your calendar for the mural celebration to take place at Tyson Park Sunday, July 10 at 2 PM, Tyson Park!

Join the Center for Biological Diversity and allies for a fun-filled event to celebrate a new Endangered Species Mural in Knoxville. The giant mural will feature freshwater mussels and fishes of the Tennessee River, a world hotspot for freshwater biodiversity. We are super excited to celebrate its many amazing endangered species and their fascinating underwater lives. Afterall, how many chances do you get to come to a party for the Pink Mucket Pearly Mussel?! Smiley and the Lovedawg will be playing at the celebration. Local groups include Conservation Fisheries, Tennessee Clean Water Network, Harvey Broome Group Sierra Club, and others. (Photo credit U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service).

Hello Greenway Commission,

Next Tuesday June 14th is our next meeting.

Could you all send Lori a head shot of yourselves in a neutral background.  If you don't have one we will be taking them at the next meeting.  Hope to see everyone there.

Have a great week!
