Art on display and more in Hoover this month
We hope you are enjoying your summer.
If you get a chance, please take some time to visit the Hoover Municipal Center Art Gallery established by the Hoover Arts Alliance. Through the end of August, the Gallery will showcase the artwork of our teachers from Spain Park and Hoover High Schools. After you take one look, you will see why our students are so inspired and receive scholarships in the field of art.
Hoover is a combination of many old and new neighborhoods. Monte D’Oro neighborhood will be celebrating their 50th Anniversary on July 27. The residents that live in Monte D’Oro have worked tirelessly to protect and keep their neighborhood vibrant and beautified. They also are lucky to have the Georgetown Park right at their backdoor.
Speaking of vibrant neighborhoods, many of our business owners keep their properties very beautiful and manicured. The Hoover Beautification Board has worked very hard to put together a program that spotlights extraordinary landscaping at Hoover businesses. Judges from outside the community select the winners and the recipients are recognized at a luncheon in August.
Be sure and save the date for our National Night Out held on Aug. 5 at the Grove Shopping Center. National Night Out is designed to heighten crime and drug prevention awareness, strengthen neighborhood spirit with our police and fire community partnerships and send a message to criminals letting them know that neighborhoods are fighting back. This is always a very successful event and refreshments will be provided.
We have so many activities and events going on in our city this summer. Please be sure to visit our website for a complete list of events at hooveralabama.gov or call 444-7500.
Please remember your elected officials and the city staff are here to serve you so please don’t hesitate to contact our office.
We will continue to work to exceed your expectations.
Sincerely,
Gary Ivey
Mayor
