Summary
Library staff previewed summer children’s events and adult programs, the mayor announced Dadeville's 2025 Tree City USA recognition from the Arbor Day Foundation, and the beautification board described volunteer plantings and free planting kits for council members.
Library staff told the council about upcoming programs for children and adults, including weekly children’s events scheduled for Tuesdays in June and additional dates in July, a "kiddos and cops" event on March 21, and adult programs featuring Dolores Haidock on April 2 and Charlie Maddox Tullio on April 15 (a free native-flute workshop). "We're gonna make native flutes," the library staff member said, and urged registration via the library.
Separately, the mayor announced that the city received Tree City USA recognition from the Arbor Day Foundation for 2025. The mayor read program background material and quoted Michelle Sautner, vice president of programs at the Arbor Day Foundation, saying trees are "critical infrastructure, building resiliency and fostering good health." The mayor explained the award recognizes municipal commitment to planting and maintaining trees.
A beautification board representative described recent volunteer plantings, alley cleanup with help from the street department and the education board's free labor, and distributed free planting kits to council members for neighborhood efforts. The board urged residents to volunteer and said staff would provide guidance to residents who request help.
