Community Involvement!

This Tuesday afternoon I went over to Wynlakes Golf and Country Club to document Ashley, Amanda and Emi’s handiwork at making the floral arrangements for the March of Dimes 8th Annual March of Dimes River Region Citizen of the Year Testimonial Dinner honoring Dr. Jack Hawkins, Chancellor of Troy University and the 2011 Ambassador Family of the Year, our very own Ashley, Barrett, and Cates Gilbreath. The girls did last year’s floral arrangements and they were more than happy to volunteer for this year’s also.

Below are some action shots of them hard at work…aren’t they talented? Well, we knew that already, but look: their talents span the genres!

You may not know it, but November is Prematurity Awareness Month. Because Cates was born two months early, the NICU and the March of Dimes are very near and dear to this family’s heart. Not long ago, famed Montgomery radio personality Larry Stevens came over to Ashley & Barrett’s gorgeous Cloverdale home to interview the 2011 Ambassador Family. The final product of this touching story with a beautiful ending can be seen below.
WARNING: you’ll probably shed a tear or two, but you’ll come away smiling whilst watching that healthy and happy baby girl bouncing around!

Tomorrow we’ll show you some ADORABLE shots of that sweetie in her pumpkin costume for our Friday Favorite! Be sure to check back in with us…
