A note from Athens Limestone Community Association...

Athens Limestone Community Association is proud to celebrate the 2022 Black History with a film remembering the achievements of Dr. C. Eric Lincoln, a 1941 Trinity High School Graduate and his central role in U.S. history. We were honored to be contacted by Clark Atlanta University and Mrs. Lucy Lincoln to create this film for the 39th Annual C. Eric Lincoln Lectureship Series for the Clark Atlanta University under the leadership of Mr. Frank Travis and associates.

We ask the Trinity alumni and friends to pay their $100 annual pledge and we gratefully accept other donations. We are eagerly awaiting your assistance in raising the $98,000 needed in matching funds to apply for a $490,000 grant to complete the Fort Henderson Memorial and the Trinity History Center at the Trinity-Fort Henderson Complex. The ALCA has already begun to memorialize the service of U.S. Colored Troops in Athens by beginning to create the Fort Henderson Memorial, which ultimately will feature a park with monuments, historic interpretive markers and a well-lit walking trail and stone wall around the fort outline. The historic interpretive markers were created and installed in 2020, with many thanks for your support in partnership with the American Battlefield Trust.

If you are unable to be with us for this great celebration, please mail your donations to ALCA P.O. Box 1476, Athens, AL 35612, a 501 (c) (3) organization. We look forward to your support for these historic projects.

During the Season of Giving… Remember To Give the Gift of Life During the Athens-Limestone Community Blood Drive

Picture
 The Christmas season often means hitting the road with the family for an excursion to the local mall; over hill and dale to Grandma’s house, the fan-filled seats of a football game or even the beach for a little white sand Christmas. We never leave the house with the intent or even foreknowledge that we’ll be in an accident but it’s a lingering possibility that will have you and 
 need of a precious resource from a local blood bank – many of which don’t have the supply to meet the needs as they sit at URGENT or CRISIS levels prior to the holiday season.

The Athens-Limestone Tourism Association wishes to extend the opportunity to the community to give the gift of life this Christmas season by donating at their upcoming...
