Fall is in the air, and we are excited to host our 2nd Annual Southern Supper fundraiser - just two short weeks away! With just a handful of tickets and one sponsorship table left, now is the time to reserve your seats for a taste of the South . . . with Memphis charm. Registration for our 9-Week Winter Session is already underway with a deadline of Sunday, December 3. As always, we look forward to welcoming all of our friends back to the farm for the upcoming winter season - and the start of another wonderful year at Southern Reins.

Here are just a few of the highlights and happenings this month at the farm. Thank you for being part of our story as our participants aspire, achieve, and amaze.

TigerLIFE and CHS Transition Academy Achieve Program

Join Forces at the Farm

Our friends at Memphis TigerLIFE began their Fall internship in September, working at the farm twice a week to help keep our facilities looking their very best. Not only are they dedicating their time to learning new job skills, they have also welcomed members of the Collierville High School Transition Academy Achieve Program to join them! With the help and guidance from our amazing volunteer, Donna, these groups work on various projects together, learning vocational skills while helping us fulfill our mission.

Thank you from all of us at Southern Reins!
