🌟 Volunteers Needed This Weekend! 🌟

Our community doesn’t clean itself—we make it happen together.

This weekend, the West Montgomery Action Committee (WMAC) is hosting a community cleanup, and we need your help to make a visible difference in our neighborhoods.

Whether you’re an individual, family, student, church member, civic organization, or business team, your time and effort can help create cleaner streets, safer public spaces, and a stronger community for everyone.

✅ Meet new people
✅ Give back to your community
✅ Earn volunteer service hours
✅ Be part of something bigger than yourself

Just a few hours of your time can have a lasting impact on West Montgomery.

HAPPY LEATHERBACK DAY!

If evolution had a "show off" button, it might look something like the leatherback sea turtle.

The largest sea turtle on Earth.
The deepest-diving reptile ( up to 4,400 feet).
A globe-spanning migrator.
A jellyfish predator that helps keep ocean ecosystems in balance.

Not bad for a species that's been around since dinosaurs ruled the planet. 🦖🌊
