ALCA and Athens Rotary Club to host Community Landscaping Day

ATHENS- The Athens-Limestone Community Association (ALCA) and the Athens Rotary Club are partnering for a Community Landscaping Day on Saturday, November 21 at 9 a.m.  The event will be held at one of Athens’ oldest historical landmarks, the former all-black high school before integration, Trinity School, which is now called the Pincham-Lincoln Center.  It is located on The Trinity-Fort Henderson Complex at 606 Trinity Circle in Athens, Ala.

ALCA and Rotary are asking the community to join them for the completion of the community center’s exterior.  Volunteers can be from church groups, school groups, youth, and other organizations.  Athens Mayor Ronnie Marks’ Youth Commission will be one of the volunteer groups helping with the project.  All volunteers should bring with them or wear work gloves, boots and water when they arrive at the community center.

Earlier this year, the Athens Rotary Club donated $15,000 for the landscaping around the center.  Grayson Bailey Landscaping will manage the project for the Rotary.

The landscaping is the final step before the grand opening of the Pincham-Lincoln Center.  The ribbon cutting ceremony will be held on Thursday, December 17 at 10 a.m.  The community center will serve youth and adults with job training skills and other educational training opportunities.
