[ 🚨 Sponsor Spotlight & Huge Thank You! 🚨 ]

We have a confession to make: Teamwork makes the dream work, but sometimes even the best teams drop the ball! 🤦‍♀️ Moving quickly to get our latest flyers out, we made a major oversight and accidentally left one of our absolute biggest supporters off the list.

We want to give a massive, formal shoutout to Renasant Bank, who is officially a Silver Sponsor for H.E.R.E. (Housing: Economic Resources & Education) Housing Resource Fair! 🥈✨

To make things right, our Executive Director paid a personal visit to the bank to deliver a much-deserved Certificate of Appreciation to Jerome Brown, Executive Director of the Renasant Community Foundation. 📜🤝
