Conexión Américas, United Neighborhood Health Services and Vanderbilt Center for Health Services are in search of additional partners for a South Nashville Community Center designed to service the immigrant community:
As Nashville welcomes more and more immigrants and refugees into our community, coordinated services are needed to address the complex and interlocking challenges facing these new arrivals as well as to help them maximize the opportunities our city affords them.
The South Nashville Community Center seeks strong partners committed to social, economic and civic integration for immigrants and refugees. While South Nashville is home to a large number of immigrants and refugees and is increasingly recognized as our city’s vibrant international district, a diverse population of hard-working Nashvillians has called South Nashville home for many generations. Therefore, this nonprofit collaborative also seeks partners committed to social justice who wish to strengthen their presence in one of Nashville’s most diverse neighborhoods.
Benefits of South Nashville Community Center:
• Nonprofit collaboration and coordination of services
• Located in Nashville’s international corridor
• Convenient access to services for immigrant families and diverse community of South Nashville, on the bus line
• Increased operating efficiency through shared costs (meeting space, training & classrooms, kitchen, restrooms, parking and possibly other back-office collaboration)
In CNM’s monthly e-newsletter, NP News, we asked nonprofits to take a look back, and tell us some of their “top moments” of 2009. Middle Tennessee nonprofits stretched budgets, worked longer hours, applied for more grants, all with the looming threat of an economy that was in a free fall. It was quite a year! Here our some of our “top moments” (in no particular order) of 2009. In the comments section, please tell us some of yours!
1. Successful 2009 Conference
Geoffrey Canada, Mayor Karl Dean, and 200 nonprofit leaders came together to learn, network, and be inspired!
2. Salute to Excellence 2009
Nothing is more fun for us than giving away close to $160,000 to local nonprofits in a star studded event that honors the entire nonprofit community.
3. Introduction of Webinars
CNM launched a new initiative designed to bring our training to the comforts of your own home or office. Look out for more opportunities to learn online in the coming year!
4. Young Nonprofit Professionals Group: A Pilot Program
What started with an idea, turned into a four-month pilot program, and ended up with 80 people at our kick-off event. Needless to say, we were blown away by the response, and are excited about the first year of the Young Nonprofit Professionals Group in 2010!
From Hands On Nashville:
The Mary Catherine Strobel Volunteer Awards recognize individuals and groups who have selflessly given their time and talents to improve the lives of others in Middle Tennessee. Mary Catherine Strobel was a community volunteer known for her compassion and generosity. She helped start numerous charitable efforts in our community and led a life of service work with homeless, impoverished and those less fortunate. These annual awards were created to honor her memory and celebrate her legacy of service.
The luncheon will be held on April 6 at the Franklin Marriott Hotel Cool Springs Conference Center. Tickets for the event are just $35 per person and a table of 10 can be purchased for $350. This luncheon provides an excellent opportunity for you to show appreciation to your volunteers without having to do all the planning.

Penderecki Comes to Nashville Jan. 21-23
Schermerhorn Symphony Center
Polish composer Krzysztof Penderecki has remained one of classical music’s most important and most talked-about figures for the past 50 years. Bold, resonant and deeply personal, his music has embraced an array of styles, from the expressive Romanticism of Richard Strauss to the bracing, energetic sounds of postwar modernism. He makes a rare visit to Nashville to conduct a specially chosen program that includes his Concerto for Piano “Resurrection,” a gripping, moving response to the events of 9/11. With a remarkable scope that recalls the symphonies of Mahler, but rendered in Penderecki’s singular voice, the work will feature the gifted pianist Barry Douglas. Penderecki will also lead the orchestra in Shostakovich’s alternately contemplative and lively Symphony No. 6.
