As many of you know Richard has worked with the ladies of Subsidium, Inc. as a sponsor/vendor for the "Carrousel of Shoppes" for over 10 years. Subsidium's sole purpose is to help fund scholarships and equipment for the Memphis Oral School for the Deaf. This charity holds a special place in my heart, because 6 years ago, my nephew was born deaf. He graduated from MOSD last year, with the many skills he needed to prepare him to start school in the public school system. Because of the ladies of Subsidium, Inc., the many families and business that make donations and the teachers of the MOSD, our lives are forever changed! This school touch our lives before Tucker was born, but now it touches our lives in ways that we never would have imagined.
As you take the time to shop for your loved ones holiday gifts, consider shopping the Carrousel of Shoppes. More than 120 merchants will be on site this year and a tasty Italian lunch menu by Pa Pa Pia's for Cafe Carousel will be offered on our shopping days, Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
