FAMILY ALBUM Photos from Alabama Counties New trustees for the ACCA-sponsored self- insurance funds attended their first board meetings and a special orientation session at Association headquarters in June. Insurance coverage that is custom-tailored for county government is not possible without the expertise and leadership of county officials and staff leaders. From left: Commissioners Kelvin Cunningham (Talladega) and Skip Gruber (Baldwin), Clerk/Treasurer Kim Creech (Baldwin), Commissioners Charles “Chic” Gary (Dale), Tommy Bowers (St. Clair) and Cattie Epps (Russell); Probate Judge/Chairman Arthur Crawford (Hale), Administrator Meredith Hammond (Marengo) and Commissioner Michael Williams (Greene). Facebook @AlabamaCounties There’s no doubt about the Mobile County Commission’s stance on this event, as Commissioners Connie Hudson and Jerry Carl pose with the commission’s banner and a pair of Mobile Azalea Trail Maids at the Mobile County Recycling Center. The commission marked Earth Day by planting butterfly gardens in two sites and kicking off a “Saving Our Pollinators” campaign. Facebook @MobileCountyAL copyright Airwind Inc.
