CHILDERSBURG, Ala. – Childersburg’s downtown bank hosts all sorts of fundraising activities every October, and along with their always delicious breakfast treats for the October Coffee with the Greater Coosa Valley Chamber of Commerce, they highlighted their efforts to raise important funds for the Breast Cancer Research Foundation of Alabama this week.
They have several fun every day activities – Pick a Pink Duck and vote for your favorite painted pumpkin – leading up to their famous Witches Brew Lunch, featuring homemade chili or soup, plus crackers, dessert, and drink with all the proceeds supporting breast cancer research in Alabama.
That’s set for Friday, Oct. 31 from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., or as long as the supplies last.
Bill Moody made his final report on the state of the City before Gerald Wallace takes over as the City liaison to the Chamber Board. Moody reported that new housing development continues to grow, with College Park entering Phase 2 with another 100 new homes planned. New and expanding industry will be celebrated this month with ribbon cuttings at Cooper Steel South on Wednesday, Oct. 29 and at ARC Robotics’ new plant the next day on Oct. 30. The City itself will host an Open House for the new Judicial/Police Complex on Hwy 280 on Monday, Nov. 3 from 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. with a ribbon cutting to follow.
Kicked off during last month’s Greater Coosa Valley Chamber Coffee, the Childersburg High School “Building Beds” program surpassed their fundraising goal and built more beds than planned to meet a greater need than most realize – beds for Talladega County students that don’t have a bed to call their own. Now, the focus in on collecting funds for bedding, such as comforters, bedspreads, sheets, etc., to go along with the beds.
Central Alabama Community College announced that Spring Term registration will kick off later this month, urging students to get signed up early to secure class spots before they fill up.
The monthly Greater Coosa Valley Chamber Coffee normally takes place on the second Tuesday of each month, but with the annual Veterans Day holiday falling on that same day, the November event – at the new Judicial/Police Complex – has been moved to Thursday, Nov. 13th at 8:30 a.m.
