Pat Mitchell Worley, Director of Development and Communications for the Memphis Music Foundation since July 2008, is in the midst of planning a huge party — the Music Resource Center‘s first birthday celebration, which runs tonight at their headquarters at 431 S. Main from 6 to 9 p.m.
Worley, a lifelong champion of local music and a veteran of the Blues Foundation, Memphis In May, and MPACT Memphis, took a quick break this afternoon to answer five questions about the MMF and the MRC and the myriad ways that she and her fellow staff members — president Dean Deyo, business coordinator Catrina Guttery, director Cameron Mann, marketing manager Courtney Wilgus, program assistants Sam Farries, Aryen Moore-Alston, Michael McMannus and J.D. Reager — are offering a helping hand to Memphis musicians.
