A C Wharton speech from our Gala

For those of you who made it to our Gala Saturday night, you've already seen this. But if you missed the event, not only did you miss a fantastic time, you missed this great presentation by Shelby County Mayor A C Wharton.

Mayor Wharton was to be our featured speaker, but due to the Memphis Mayoral debate on WREG, he had to pull out of the Gala. While we were disappointed that he wouldn't be there, we were very grateful for the efforts Mayor Wharton and his staff put forth to be sure that we had a keynote presentation.
