Neighborhood Planners...

The McCorkle Road Neighborhood Development Association (MRNDA), Inc. of Memphis is on a roll! Please be sure to join this comprehensive ZIP Code 38116 community group of concerned citizens to stay abreast of what impacts your most prided possession - your property.

Every paid member of the MRNDA will be receiving a weekly calendar for the year of 2020. These calendars will be an important part of our efforts to document our concerns and prepare ourselves for the continued fight against Waste Connections, LLC of TN and other unwanted injustices that attempt to approach our community and destroy our lives.

Please look forward to receiving your weekly pocket calendar shortly after the New Year. Your calendar will be the place for your notes concerning the dates, times, and smells concerning all odors coming from Waste Connections, LLC of TN. It will be prepopulated with the call-in information you will need for telephone meetings, and contain the location information for pre-scheduled in-person meetings approved to be held at the Whitehaven Branch Library, 4120 Mill Branch at Raines Road. Your new MRNDA weekly calendar planner will be the perfect place to jot down information about future meetings that concern our neighborhood and the surrounding area.

Don't forget you can pay your tax-deductible dues, in the amount of $25/household per year online (LOOK for the credit card icons below or on the home page, just scroll to the bottom and look for the secure PayPal link), by cash (call us at 901.300.0250), or by check (mail to MRNDA, PO Box 9695, Memphis, TN 38190-0695).

NOTE: Beginning in 2020, I will work with anyone who wants to make smaller ($5) payments and become a charter member!

Thank you for your continued support as we demand justice for our properties and our right to parity here in ZIP Code 38116.

Dr. Yvonne D. Nelson, President
