1, Longtime Neighborhood Advocate Mae Moody Dies
Mae Moody, a longtime member and president of Murray Drive / Wilkerson Road Neighborhood Watch, passed away on Monday, Oct. 17.
Mae was an advocate of neighborhoods, a community builder, a supporter of our first responders, and so much more.
She served on the Neighborhood Advisory Council from 2009-2014 and helped shape some of the work that the Office of Neighborhood Empowerment is doing today.
She and her husband, Jack Moody, were regular volunteers at Safety City.
The most recent event she planned was a National Night Out event on Tuesday, Oct. 4, celebrating Knoxville Police Department, Knox County Sheriff’s Office, Knoxville Fire Department, Rural Metro, and the State Troopers.
She will be greatly missed!
2. City Celebrates Arbor Day
The City of Knoxville will celebrate Arbor Day on Friday, Nov. 4, at 11 a.m., at Sam Duff Park, 4060 Chapman Hwy.
Join us to see the awards that the City receives, hear the Mayor present a proclamation, visit Certified Wildlife Habitats neighborhood booths, and help us plant trees.
Nationally Arbor Day is celebrated on April 28. However, the best time to plant trees in Knoxville is in the fall. Mark your calendars to join us for this kid-friendly event.

The Historic Zoning Commission works with property owners and developers to encourage the preservation of historic sites and areas and to integrate historic facilities into other plans. The commission reviews applications for building permits for construction
or demolition within a designated historic zone. The commission also acts as an advocate for changes in various state, local and federal laws that affect historic sites.
4. Do You Know About the Knoxville Black Business Directory?
Damon Rawls started the
Knoxville Black Business Directory to create a central location for people to find and support local, Black-owned businesses.
Not only can you find products and services provided by Black-owned businesses, but you are also able to read reviews from other customers and learn more about the local companies and their visions.
