Thank You For Your Service Madam President


 

A huge SHOUT OUT to Andra "Michelle" Perkins, Past President and current Vice President of North Pratt Neighborhood Association. Michelle served tirelessly for the past two plus years. 

She was a regular visitor at city hall, at times weekly, making sure that North Pratt issues were addressed. She spent money out of pocket and incurred hundreds of miles unreimbursed.

She was often on the phone and in meetings with various city leaders on behalf of North Pratt neighborhood.

Michelle also volunteered with Village Creek Society, District 9 and other neighborhood's projects.

She is a graduate of the second class of Birmingham's Academy of Civic Engagement (ACE) and a Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) volunteer and hosts community shelter openings during Tornado events.

Join me in thanking Michelle for a job well done! You are appreciated.
