TBT YLC: With the 2019 Metro Nashville General Election coming up on August 1, here’s a look back four years ago when a crowd of more than 100 YLC alumni and Junior League of Nashville members gathered at the Junior League HQ to hear the 2015 Mayoral candidates at an Open Mic Reception. Pictured below is Anna Tefel (YLC/Junior League Class 2010), left, Lauren Lane Payne (Class 55), and Alex Hughes Sadler (Class 60) on May 27, 2015. For this year’s election, YLC encourages all alumni to learn about each of the candidates running for Mayor, Vice Mayor, Council At Large and Council Districts to make an informed decision. The last day to vote early at 11 locations around Nashville is this Saturday, July 27. See the early voting schedule with times and locations along with a sample ballot and a video tutorial of how to use the new state-of-the-art voting machines at https://lnkd.in/emvznvy. Avoid the lines on August 1 and vote at a time and location that is convenient to you. Hint: Cast your vote at Casa Azafrán, located at 2195 Nolensville Pike, where our friends at Conexion Americas are located. A beautiful building and no line the last two years Patty St. Clair voted early.
