M.A. Lightman, SR. Chief Barket Tent 20 1938-1946 Variety Memphis Tent 20, was chartered on September 30, 1938 by a group of showmen led by M.A. Lightman, Sr., founder of the Malco Theaters. Mother's Milk Bank became the first charity & was credited with saving the lives of many babies whose mothers were unable to supply them with proper nourishment. An International Award was presented to Tent 20 in Memphis for this project. Since this time Variety in Memphis has grown to over 350 members and has raised millions of dollars in support of hundreds of Mid-South children’s charities. |
