Greetings, Chattanooga!
Did you donate more in 2020? I did, motivated by the pandemic in both my concern for causes near to my heart (wildlife rehabilitation projects, for example) and the fact that stay-at-home orders had me saving more money.
Apparently, I was not alone. So, which Tennessee counties were the most generous last year? Here, Mary Fortune shares the top 10 places for giving.
(And you read more about the pandemic’s effect on giving in Chatter’s August “Philanthropy” issue.)
And now, a few recent stories:
According to a new report by America’s biggest moving equipment rental company, Tennessee was the top destination among those who relocated.
Hamilton County Schools teachers will be taking the classroom to the television screen in partnership with the local Public Broadcasting Service station WTCI beginning today.
And, General Motors and its self-driving car subsidiary Cruise says it will partner with Microsoft to accelerate the commercialization of self-driving vehicles.
