  • Birding at T. O. Fuller and Nearby Areas
    Birds of T. O. Fuller State Park 1500 Mitchell Road, Memphis, Tennessee 38109 / 901-543-7581 T.O. Fuller State Park occurs on a bluff overlooking the floodplain of the Mississippi River. Lying in the heart of the Mississippi Flyway, the park offers great opportunities to see migrating birds in the spring and fall. Look for warblers, vireos, thrushes and flycatchers along the eight miles of park trails and along forest edges. A new wildlife enhancement area containing four miles of paved trails is under development and will consist of floodplain wetlands, wildflower valleys, native grassy meadows, and upland ponds. The area has already attracted rare black-bellied whistling ducks, and nesting black-necked stilts. TO Fuller now has 140 species of birds observed. Responsible Birding - Do not endanger the welfare of birds. - Tread lightly and respect bird habitat. - Silence is golden. - Do not use electronic sound devices to attract birds during nesting season, May-July. - Take extra care when in a nesting area. - Always respect the law and the rights of others, violators subject to prosecution. - Do not trespass on private property. - Avoid pointing your binoculars at other people or their homes. - Limit group sizes in areas that are not conducive to large crowds.

Over the years, it is slowly chipping away as a result of cars parking against it, weather, and the normal student traffic heading in and out of the buildings. For 15 years, I have annually found an excuse not to replace it. Parking lot resurfacing, renovations, and upcoming construction have been the reasons to not waste money on a “short-term” project. With the launch of our Give Back Home Campaign for Christian Brothers High School, we look to position CBHS and the Brothers to serve Memphis, deliver on our Lasallian mission and to remain a leader in a competitive private school landscape for years to come. This campaign is providing for academic programs and resources, new and updated facilities and resources to be shared by current and future students. With the completion of the first and silent phase of our Give Back Home Campaign, we saw the renovation to Heffernan Hall and our Brothers Residence, the construction of McEniry Hall to serve our STEMM program, and the capstone of the first phase in the Brothers Development Center that provides a first-class facility for our student- athletes.

    THE BURHOW LIBRARY The FVnr!RGREENEWS A A'eiglt!Jorltood Newspaper Sponsored b!J f/ollintine- Evergreen Community Action Association of the newcomers obtained a state charter in 1892 for the Baron Hirsch Benevolent Society in honor of this Jewish philanthropist. The name stuck and the history of the Hirseh History pre sent Baron Hirsch congregation dates back to this period. by Rick Thomas The congregation had 50 members in 1900 and most of its activity was still centered downtown. However, new immigrants, mostly from R us s i a, soon made the synagogue too small. Consequently, a new building was built in 1914 at Washington and 4th. Although the size of the community varied during the next decades, mem­ bership surpassed 500 families in 1941. Again the con­ gregation outgrew the synagogue and many members moved to what is now the mid-town area (including the V/B­ community). To many people, the growing membership and chang­ ing residential patterns offered an opportunity to build a magnificent temple. In 1945, the 1 and at Vollentine and Evergreen was purchased for $20,000 and two ad­ joining lots were later bought for $27,750. An architect was retained in 1946 and WILLIAM GERBER supervised initial planning. PHILIP BELZ oversaw the final stages. In 1952 the educational building was completed and in 1955 ground was broken for a new synagogue. The cornerstone was a block of Jerusalem marble and mixed with the mortar was a sack of earth brought here from Mt. Zion. Today Baron Hirsch has a congregation of over 15 00 members of which about a third live in the V/E com­ munity.
