2024 10th Annual Last Summer Fling
Les Gemmes Nashville celebrated their 10th Annual Last Summer Fling the last weekend in August 2024. It was a well attended event with retail and food vendors, live jazz, a silent auction and networking. This highly popular social event event marks the end of summer before going back into the business sessions.
This social event brings out the "who's who" of Nashville, city leaders, business owners and community friends and family. Plenty of cheer, good will and philanthropy as the Les Gemmes Nashville Chapter continues to make an impact in the community and lives of others.
