Tuscaloosans are justifiably proud of our strong local medical community and its standards of medical care. And in that community, the DCH Cancer Center stands out as one of the strongest points of pride. On Tuesday Rotarians will hear more about the Center from its Director, Domingo Valpuesta.
It may be the best name in the history of politics, or the worst. But there is no question it is a name that works. During his successful 2010 run for State Treasurer, Alabama’s Young Boozer didn’t need to work very hard for the coveted political asset of name recognition. College students, he joked, were always stealing his signs so they could celebrate themselves as “young boozers” in their own right. The name also found its way to the Jay Leno show, and to the front page of the Wall Street Journal in a story on the strangest names in politics. Boozer even had a call from a political candidate named Crystall Ball. She predicted he would win.
On Tuesday January 31, 2012 the Bryant Conference Center in Tuscaloosa will host “Doing What Matters For Alabama’s Children,” a community meeting to address the needs of children in West Alabama. The event, sponsored by Challenge 21 Tuscaloosa, Tuscaloosa’s Promise and the Tuscaloosa Children’s Policy Council, will be held from 8:30 a.m.-3:30 p.m. Registration is $20 registration until January 27th. Late registration is $30. For more information contact Sabrina Thomas at (205) 462-1000. To register go to http://training.ua.edu/children.
