Fun, Food, Music and 4th annual Silent Auction are all part of the MCIL Holiday Open House. This annual event is one way that MCIL raises money to continue its advocacy efforts in Memphis for people with disabilities and to celebrate with consumers, fellow advocates and the community this time of good cheer. 

Auction items for previous years included: jewelry, casino packages from Fitzgerald’s, Caesar’s Entertainment, dinner gift certificates from local restaurants including: Neil’s, the Cupboard, India Palace, and P & H Café, original artwork and many other items. For the 2nd year for more limited budgets MCIL hosts a Holiday Gift Shoppe with items $10 or less for purchase. 

The Memphis Center For Independent Living cordially invites you to our Annual Holiday Open House. There will be munchies and fun for everyone. Nora Tucker will once again provide live music to dance the night away. For those who need to do some holiday shopping, visit our silent auction and bid on a wide range of items such as artwork, casino packages, restaurant gift certificates, and more. For those on a tighter budget, visit the Holiday Gift Shoppe where everything is $10 and under.
