There are two great events in Memphis every August! The Southern Lodging Summit and the Elvis Week Celebration at Graceland. This will be our 38th annual Elvis Week Celebration. If you are a Mem-phian, and you have never experienced an Elvis Week Celebration, let this be the year you find out why people from around the world come to Memphis in August! (Our least favorable weather of the year!) Person-ally, I think you will be amazed, but on this subject, I admit it—I am biased!!!!
Hopefully, I will see you at the Summit, August 18th and 19th. ‘Nuff said. Till next month, same time, same place . . .Mary
