MAY 2011

The  devastating April tornadoes spared  the Heather Pointe community. Yet many were the recipients of destructive remnants left by the tornadoes. No doubt  someone you know was  affected in some way. The EMA of Alabama and those connected with search and rescue operations have done a tremendous job.  Perhaps you have sheltered loved ones who have lost their home, assisted with cleanup or donated time and supplies. You too are a hero/heroine. Let us not forget those who perished, those who were injured  and those in need.  

* Summer is fast approaching.  Children will be spending more time out of doors. The carefree lives of most children causes them to sometimes become careless. An out of bounds ball, bicycle or  running child can appear out of nowhere.  Stay alert and pay attention to speed limit signs.

MOVIES IN THE PARK

The City of Pinson will sponsor outdoor movies on May 13 and May 20. The field behind Solid Rock Church is where the movies will be shown. Bring your lawn chairs beach towels and snacks.
