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.
