Attn Bham Club. We are planning a virtual club meeting with guest speaker Dan Brown. Check back here for more information to come on a day and time.
Our Pat Byington sends out helpful information today.
The U.S. National Weather Service has issued numerous warnings forcasting severe weather striking Birmingham on Easter Day, April 12th.
I know we will all miss this view, but in talking with The Club, we have cancelled the April meeting due to the COVID-19 situation. Hoping to see everyone in MAY!
I suspect there will be a lot of nonprofits looking for help by then, so keep your eyes and ears open for projects.
Bham Club, check in here and let the rest of the club know you are well.

Civitan was founded in Birmingham during WWI and one of the very first efforts by the club was raising money through bonds to support troops fighting overseas.
In the 1940s, a Birmingham Civitan, Raymond Weeks, led the effort to create Veterans Day in America as a day of peace. Thank you to the men and women who have served our country.
Happy Veterans Day!

Our Club had the pleasure of having Sara Franklin speak to us Friday. Sara is the new Executive Director of the Epilepsy Foundation of Alabama. Sara told us about her personal, unexpected bout with epilepsy which occurred a couple of years ago as an adult. She also told us that 1 in 10 people will have a seizure in their lifetime. There are 54,000 Alabamians with epilepsy. She has already helped the Foundation raise $65,000 recently at a “Walk for Epilepsy” fundraiser! Her talk was very informative! Thank you Sara!

Great evening at Horizon School with our Civitan partners in the Hearts of Horizon Civitan Club. It was a big dessert cook-off with judges and at least 15 entries. The winners are pictured with a thumbs-up! Congratulations!
Here's a short video of our year in review. We'll have an even better one in a couple of weeks. We serve others and we have fun doing it. Join us?
Jackie and her husband had just arrived from Greenville Alabama. She had been through chemo treatments and now faced a series of radiation treatments. She and her husband put snacks and other items in their locker behind the kitchen. I was back there starting the homemade ice cream. "Are you all having a birthday party?", Jackie asked. "No.", I said proudly. "We are fixing supper for you and the other guests. It should be ready a little after 5pm", I said. "Oh, how nice!", she said. The Civitans scurried around the kitchen making preparations. Jackie sat in the dining room while her husband went to find a pharmacy for some of her medicine. Soon, we were fixing meals for every guest and we made sure Jackie and her husband were fed. As we cleaned up, Jackie approached me. "God bless y'all for making this delicious meal. It sure made our first night in this big city a lot easier!" From all of us in the Birmingham Civitan Club, best wishes Jackie on a successful treatment and a full recovery. Take care.
