On the evening of January 1, the new year kicked off with an Inauguration Gala celebrating Memphis’ new mayor, Paul Young. The party concluded a weekend of celebrations including a parade and block party at Tiger Lane. The gala was held at the Renasant Convention Center, and it was an evening to congratulate the new leader and his administration. While the event was not funded by the City of Memphis, it was a time for city leaders to celebrate together before the hard work began. The elegant black tie event was presented by Forward 901, Inc., and all proceeds were given to selected local charities through that organization. Congratulations, Mayor Young!
