We hope everyone enjoyed the veterans ceremony on Memorial Day. We need to be thankful for our military every day, not just a few select days. We are so blessed to be Americans and to be free. We have our freedom because we have men and women who willingly put their life on the line every day for all of us. For all they do, I thank them.

• The next meeting of the Fultondale City Council will be Tuesday at 11:30 a.m.

• I would like to ask everyone to please keep your grass and weeds cut. We are receiving numerous calls on people not keeping their yards maintained and rodents and mosquitoes bothering those who do. This is a real nuisance and it makes the communities look bad. So, please do your part to help keep your neighborhood nice. Also, the continued nuisance of dogs running loose, getting into others garbage and using others yards as their bathroom. If most of you are like me, I do not appreciate having to clean up after someone else’s dog. Please be considerate of your neighbors.

• The summer reading program at the Fultondale Public Library begins Wednesday at 10:30 a.m.

• The 5K Stampede Run which benefits the Fultondale Volunteer Fire Department will be June 19 at 8 a.m. For more information, call Sammy at 849-5740.

• I would like to send my heartfelt sympathies to Dr. Hill’s family in the death of his brother. Please remember them in your prayers.

• Please remember Mrs. Polly Goodwin in your prayers, she has not been feeling well lately. We love you Mrs. Polly.

• A special happy birthday wish goes to T.C. of the Fultondale Gas Department on June 2.  He does a great job for the city and we hope he had a great birthday.
