Aliceville mayor previews Juneteenth, July 4 and new daycare; seeks youth and volunteer participation
Summary
The mayor announced the fourth annual Juneteenth Festival (June 13), a July 4 "America 250" celebration, a public–private daycare opening June 1 (capacity up to 65 children), a summer youth work program with four slots, and a recruitment drive for 25–45-year-olds to join civic boards.
In a livestream the Mayor of Aliceville outlined several community programs, upcoming events and youth opportunities aimed at strengthening local civic life and workforce supports.
Events: The mayor announced the fourth annual Juneteenth Festival on June 13 at the city hall quad with food, music and family activities, and previewed an "America 250" July 4 celebration with fireworks, a movie night and possible parade.
Childcare and workforce supports: The mayor said a new public–private daycare is tentatively scheduled to open June 1 and described it as a state-of-the-art facility that would serve infants and school-age children; he said the center would hold up to 65 children and that vouchers and sign-up sheets are available at city hall. He framed the daycare as helping local workforce retention by expanding child-care options.
Youth programs and volunteers: The mayor promoted a "Next Up" leadership recruitment targeting residents roughly aged 25–45 to replenish boards and civic roles, and described a summer-help program for high-school juniors and seniors with roughly 24 hours/week of work; he said only four summer slots are available and encouraged applications at city hall.
Ending: The mayor closed by thanking volunteers who revived a youth football league and urged residents to get involved with beautification and civic committees to sustain community improvements.
