Here's some things I learned in Huntsville this week:
- The City of Madison in conjunction with the local National Guard and Army Reserve is asking for your support to make this holiday season a happy one for soldiers and their families. Gifts and other expressions of gratitude will be collected at Madison City Hall on 100 Hughes Road from now until December 9th.
- HandsOn Greater Huntsville wants you and your family to join us for Family Volunteer Day on Saturday, November 21, 2009. This special day provides local families with an opportunity to spend quality time together, teach important life skills to children, give back to the community, and motivate families to make volunteering a year-round habit. To sign up or for more info, call (256) 539-7797.
- The December issue of Southern Living magazine has a special 8-page feature article on the historic town of Mooresville located close to Huntsville. It has retained the look of a 19th century village complete with historic homes and buildings, white picket fences and tree lined streets. Don't miss the free Mooresville Yuletide Tour on December 6th from 1-4 pm. For more information, call 256-355-2683 or 256-353-3628.
- Does your pet do something ... odd? Are you a human with a hilarious, unique or just plain stupid special ability? Then audition to be a part of THE LATE SHOW WITH DAVID LETTERMAN!
