Each Christmas, Wreaths Across America ceremonies serve as moments to remember the fallen, honor those who serve, and teach our children the value of freedom. Thank you to all who coordinated Wreaths Across America at Maple Hill Cemetery (and cemeteries around our state and nation) today.#Our67    Thank you to all who coordinated the Huntsville First United Methodist Church Open House, Twickenham Tour of Homes, and Luminaries this evening.

Thank you to Mrs. Jennifer Williams for directing for ten years now. Hayden and Sheridan started out as the little ones and now are the oldest... time sure does fly.

The day commenced with a service and the unveiling of a historic marker in Rosa Parks' honor in front of her home church, St. Paul A.M.E. on East Patton Avenue. In this historic and sacred setting, Carver High School Choir and Alabama State University Choir brought me to tears with one of the most beautiful performances I have ever heard.

What a blessing for Westervelt Co. to increase its presence in Alabama once again with a new wood products manufacturing facility in rural Clarke County. The company has been in our state for 134 years, a presence that highlights Westervelt’s important role as Alabama continues to lead in the Forestry Products industry.

The program provided attendees with methods of how to survive an active shooter event. Hopefully we will never have to use these techniques, but here they are: [A.D.D. - Avoid the shooter (get as far away as possible - get out); if you cannot avoid, then Deny the shooter access to your area (locking/barricading doors, etc.); if all else fails - Defend your right to live - team with others to knock down and restrain the shooter.] #Our67  Thank you to the Village of Providence for coordinating a Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony, which included a toy drive for Toys for Tots. This was a beautiful event for my daughter and I to attend that provided teachable moments about giving and gratitude. #Our67   Today the National Park Service and Alabama State Parks teamed with Jacksonville State University at Little River Canyon to host the third annual Day After Thanksgiving Hike. We had fun amidst beautiful scenery (and also worked off some of yesterday's meal!) Thank you to all who coordinated and participated in this memorable activity. #Our67 #OptOutside     |
