2016 Annual Report WE ARE JEWISH MEMPHIS 2016 Annual Report WE ARE JEWISH MEMPHIS Keeping our Jewish community Cared for, Connected, and Engaged. LETTER TO THE COMMUNITY Connecting philanthropy with the needs of Jewish families and individuals is at the core of our mission, and the primary focus of Memphis Jewish Federation and Jewish Foundation of Memphis, the two organizations managed by Jewish Community Partners (JCP). We are honored to lead committed volunteers and professionals who together are working to strengthen our community culture of giving through annual gifts, donor advised funds, endowment funds, and legacy gifts. This partnership supports a global network of services for Jews in need. We make the connection between those who give and those who need Gary Kaplan, Chair through JCP. On one side, we have causes and initiatives, emergencies and Jewish Community Partners opportunities. On the other side, we have generous individuals and families who strive to share their good fortune and success, who are committed to tikkun olam – repairing the world. We’ve done our homework, studying the current landscape within which we operate, aiming for an in-depth understanding of why people give and how they give. We funded a needs assessment study in order to understand the needs of our Memphis Jewish community and populations that were under served. We reached out to congregations, Jewish organizations and schools, meeting with their professional and lay leaders. We studied the data. We pulled thoughtful and innovative community members into our discussions. We met with you, members of the community, and from these conversations charted a new course. Now, we’re on a data-driven journey, steered by an in-depth understanding of what’s needed. Sandy Blockman, Chair Jewish Foundation of Memphis This Annual Report is our way to demonstrate the success of our thoughtful, intentional, and collaborative work over the past year. We hope to show that our deliberate, data-driven approach to fundraising and to granting has helped you meet your charitable goals while at the same time helped Jews with the greatest needs. JCP is the steward of $85 million of charitable resources, raising and directing as much as $8 million each year. Our professionals and volunteers are committed to building and sustaining a vibrant Jewish community in Memphis, Israel and throughout the world that is cared for, connected, and engaged. We are honored to play the important role of connecting giving to the needs of Jewish families and individuals, and grateful for the support you have shown in helping to achieve this mission.

    Memphis Police Department Homicide Reports 1917-1936 Processed by Cameron Sandlin, Lily Flores, and Max Farley 2017 Memphis and Shelby County Room Memphis Public Library and Information Center 3030 Poplar Ave Memphis, TN 38111 Memphis Police Department Homicide Reports 1917-1936 2 Memphis Police Department Homicide Reports 1917-1936 Memphis Police Department Historical Sketch The history of police activity in Memphis began in 1827 with the election of John J. Balch. Holding the title of town constable, the “one-man Police Department” also worked as a tinker and patrolled on foot an area of less than a half square mile in the young town of Memphis.1 As the river town expanded and developed a rough reputation throughout the 1830’s, the department remained small, first experiencing growth in 1840 when the force expanded to include the Night Guard, a night-shift force of watchmen. In 1848, the town of Memphis became the city of Memphis. During that same year, the elected office of City Marshal replaced the position of town constable, and the duties of the office expanded to include “duties related to sanitation, zoning, street maintenance,” in addition to policing the newly-minted city.2 In 1850, the total police force numbered 26 men, split between the Day Squad and the Night Squad, and by 1860, a police force with a structure that could be characterized as modern was in place in Memphis, with the position of Chief of Police clearly stated in city ordinances as the leader of the police force. Following the Civil War, the Memphis Police Department (MPD) expanded to manage the rapidly growing Bluff City.

  • A New Chapter Creating Connections Between Words, Hearts, and the Community
    SUMMER 2016 A New Chapter Creating connections between words, hearts, and the community Inside: Special Graduation Section – Celebrating the Class of 2016 S t. Mary’s girls love words. From the moment you walk in the doors of the school, girls of all ages are embracing words. They love to use them correctly, to play with them, and to learn new ones. I discovered this logophilia – the love of words, and word games – quickly when I first joined the St. Mary’s community in 2004. Their care for words extended from a note by a candy bowl to exquisitely written college essays. The success of Student Council campaigns seems to depend on the apt turn of phrase on the banners. And where else but at St. Mary’s does the Middle School Halloween costume winner owe her victory to creating the best visual pun? One English teacher stated this affection more boldly, “Our students leave St. Mary’s as the defenders of the English Language.” At the heart of academic success is learning to read. At St. Mary’s, we delight in teaching students of all ages the art of engaged reading. In the stories that follow, you will see how St. Mary’s is continuing its strong tradition in developing learners and creating more opportunities for our girls and for children across Memphis to discover their love of words. The Nathaniel C. Hughes Learning Center is our most recent accomplishment in fostering life-long learning. It is only fitting that Dr. Hughes’ name is honored through this center; an esteemed scholar and former headmaster, he raised St.
