A Letter From the President
Christie Aitken

PRCA Montgomery
Hi, PRCA Montgomery! Summer is here, and the sun isn’t the only thing shining brightly. PRCA Montgomery members are bright lights on the River Region scene, and we’ll be highlighting many member achievements and moments in the months to come. Stay tuned to our social media platforms so you don’t miss a thing!
And friends, I don’t know about your plans for the summer, but mine revolve around family and friends, good causes, and reading books I’ve purchased along the way (before I allow myself to buy more – hah!). Add in a little time by the pool, a quick getaway or two, and a June PRCA Montgomery social? I’m Team Summer all the way!
Join us for June’s joint PRCA Montgomery / AAF Montgomery meeting with father/daughter dynamic duo, James and Victoria Belton. These two have so much to share, and I know we’ll all leave with excellent information in hand. Remember, we have a brand NEW LOCATION – so learn more and register here: https://bit.ly/3BUECo5
Also, VP of Community Service Christopher Thomas has a fantastic opportunity for us to partner with the Henry Tellis Foundation for their first-ever Youth Male Summit. We’ll be inspiring young men to be their very best alongside the organization’s leaders, so whether you make a donation at our June 14 PRCA meeting or sign up to serve on site with the Foundation on June 16, summer is all about pouring into our youth – and this is an excellent way to do it! Learn more: https://bit.ly/HTFoundationPRCAmgm
Last but certainly not least, JUNE’s PRCA Montgomery social will be here before you know it, and Lynn Cox, Member at Large, has done an excellent job of planning yet another chance for us all to connect. Save the date for June 22, and JOIN US at The Gin!
Stay cool, have fun, and make sure you are plugged in, friends. Summer with PRCA Montgomery is THE time to be in the mix!

President, PRCA Montgomery

PRCA Montgomery members have been doing all the things! Here are just a few:
Mary Wilson, APR, (top left) has released the second edition of her book, 100 Things to do in Alabama Before You Die. The book includes 100 essays on restaurants, shops, and attractions you have to visit here in Alabama the Beautiful. There is also a color photography section along with suggested itineraries based on location, theme and season.
Desiree Taylor (top right) and Mikala McCurry, APR (bottom left) were each recently featured in Faith at Work, a column within River Region Christians magazine.
