The Normal Station annual picnic is almost upon us again! It will be held on Saturday, May 16th on the U of M Alumni Center lawn (Normal and Spottswood) from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.

The picnic is a great event to bring the whole family to as there will be games and activities for children, including a moon bounce. The alumni center lawn is a perfect spot to bring a lawn chair and a blanket to enjoy the great atmosphere there! Normal Station will cook hot dogs and have lots of good food for all neighbors, residents, and friends who come.

Normal Station has invited many city and county elected officials to the event, including Councilmen Jim Strickland, Shea Flinn, and Kemp Conrad. The Memphis Fire Department will be present and will have a fire truck on display at the picnic. There may possibly be a demonstration by the Memphis Police Department’s K-9 unit as well.

Also, there will be an information table providing information about the neighborhood, its activities, and how to get involved in the Normal Station Neighborhood Association. Membership dues are $15 per person per year, and we strongly encourage you to join! Normal Station is committed to recruiting/renewing at least 150 members this year.

For more information on how you can help, contact Christy Leard at 324-3732. We look forward to seeing you on the 16th!
