Volunteers' Recognition Banquet

Letter from Councilman Burkette: 

I would like you to join the Montgomery City Council, Mayor Strange, and myself in honoring volunteer cheerleader coaches, football coaches, team moms and referees associated with Montgomery Little League Sports.

The City Council officially acknowledged March 27, 2015, as “Volunteers' Recognition Day” for our dedicated, caring youth ambassadors. For many years, my appreciation for the Central Youth Alabama Football League and South East Football League has served a very integral part of providing athletic opportunities that foster mentorship, teamwork, and most importantly, exposure to children and parents who largely depend on volunteers when they are not available.

Their efforts to spend time, energy, money, and possession of a strong will to assist the children in lifelong values, have been paramount towards building a foundation of trust.  Further, they have given children a sense of pride in what they do on and off the field.

Without the help of many individuals who generously donated their time and resources, the athletic programs could not be successful. We all realize the generosity in giving back to our communities and young people is not without personal sacrifice.

Therefore, a special banquet honoring these great leaders in our community will now take place on Tuesday, March 31st, from 6:00 p.m. until 9:00 p.m., at the Multiplex in Cramton Bowl. Over 400 volunteers throughout the city are expected to be recognized for their service to young people.

Lastly, this event requires a tremendous commitment from sponsors. You can help by making a monetary or in-kind donation to show your support for one of Montgomery’s supreme recognition of youth sports and volunteerism. I am asking that you please give your donation by March 19, 2015, to help continue this great gift to Montgomery citizens.

Thank you in advance for your support and contribution.

Sincerely,
Councilman David Burkette, City Council District 4

Government
Montgomery functions as a Mayor-Council system of government. The Council is represented by nine members elected to serve a four-year term. The city is a full-service governmental agency that prides itself on providing quality service to residents and businesses. 

History & Cultural
Montgomery is nationally known for its many historic/cultural landmarks and events such as the Alabama State Capitol, Dexter Avenue King Memorial Church, First White House of the Confederacy, Montgomery Bus Boycott, Hank Williams Memorial, Alabama War Memorial and Alabama Shakespeare Theater. The city attracted the first electric street car system and Wright Brothers (Orville & Wilbur) first school for powered flight. Today, Montgomery is the home of both Maxwell and Gunter Air Force Bases. 

Schools
The city consists of several public schools: thirty-six elementary, twelve junior/middle and eight high schools. Additionally, Montgomery has a total of thirty-seven private schools. 

The city is the home of several public and private colleges, as well as military schools. Montgomery’s fifteen colleges, universities and military schools provide world-class educational opportunities.

Economic Development
In 2004, Montgomery landed one of the biggest economic development projects when Hyundai Motors Manufacturing Alabama built its $1.4 billion automotive plant. The Montgomery location became the first assembly and manufacturing plant in the United States. It employs over 3,000 team members and currently produces the next generation Sonata sedan and Santa Fe sport utility vehicle. 

That same year, Montgomery acquired a minor league baseball team called the Montgomery Biscuits, Class AA affiliate of the Tampa Bay Devil Rays. The Biscuits are the 2006 and 2007 Southern League Champions. The team plays in a newly renovated 7,000 seat facility known as Riverwalk Stadium and owned by the City of Montgomery. The stadium consists of several style seating: executive box, super box, lawn and suite level. 

Montgomery Today
Today, Montgomery is known for its renaissance of historic downtown and redevelopment of the riverfront. Montgomery is a city rich in history, yet clearly focused on the future. Once the capital of the Confederacy, Montgomery grew to become the center of the Civil Rights Movement. We are more than just the capital of Alabama-we are the epitome of economic prosperity. We enjoy being the showplace for southern hospitality, beautiful weather, and high-tech jobs.
