Council approves permit for March ALS walk; announces youth programs and Black History event
Summary
Council approved a permit for a March 14 ALS benefit walk expected to draw 50–100 attendees, confirmed youth programs with University of Alabama instructors, and announced a Black History event set for Feb. 21.
Aliceville City Council approved a permit on Feb. 10 for a community fundraiser and march to benefit ALS, and shared information about upcoming local events and youth programming.
The council discussed a permit request tied to Donnie Sanders, industrial board chairman, for an event on March 14, 2026. Council members said the event would use the Aliceville walking track pavilion only, would not close city streets, and was expected to attract about 50 to 100 participants. A council member listed the event’s hours as 8:30 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.; the motion to approve the permit carried by voice vote.
On community programs, the Chamber of Commerce will meet Thursday at noon at city hall; the city’s youth offerings include University of Alabama developmental classes on Mondays from 4:00 to 5:30 p.m. and a free entrepreneurial class led by a University of Alabama instructor. The council also announced a Black History event scheduled for Saturday, Feb. 21 at 6:00 p.m.; tickets are available at city hall.
Quotes from the meeting highlighted both the event logistics and community support: the chair noted the march “isn’t going to be used in the streets” and that the majority of participants would simply walk the track. The council encouraged attendance at the Black History event and said staff will provide more details on spring youth activities at a later date.
