Sweet home Alabama!

Dekko Foundation staff had a great time recently in Limestone County, Alabama, reconnecting with old friends and making new friends.

Among the highlights were meeting with City of Athens, Alabama (Public Relations) Mayor Ronnie Marks and learning about plans for a new park; viewing the ongoing renovation work at Athens Arts League‘s Scout Music House; walking down Merchant’s Alley with former Grant Review Committee member Gary Van Wagnen; preparing for and hosting our own From 40 to Forward open house at the Athens-Limestone County Public Library in celebration of our 40th birthday; and stopping by the Athens Mayor’s Youth Commission mock City Council meeting.

It was inspiring to spend time with so many dedicated people who are working hard to make great things happen for children and young people in Limestone County!
