CLAIR FAYETTE TALLADEGA TUSCALOOSA SHELBY BIBB GREENE FEBRUARY 26, 2020 CLEBURNE JEFFERSON PICKENS County Days, all of which fall on Wednesdays again this year. Each county has been assigned one day to come to Montgomery and “walk the halls” to help make sure all your legislators are aware of — and supporting — the interests of county government. All county commissioners, affiliate group members and other county government staff are encouraged to participate and join the County Family at the Statehouse on your day.

Everyone will still convene at ACCA headquarters on 2 North Jackson Street — just on the newly remodeled second floor. Participants will receive a packet with up-to-the- minute information on the status of ACCA and Danger Bills. At 1 p.m., the group will walk down the hill to the Statehouse for lobbying and afternoon committee meetings. Before and after lobbying, participants can take advantage of optional social media assistance from ACCA staff and/or video filming in Studio 67. There is no registration fee for County Days, but ACCA will get a head count for the day to facilitate lunch. An overnight stay should not be necessary. More details will be distributed as each County Day draws near, but please get this date on your calendar and make plans now to participate in this important event. n BALDWIN Detention Facilities E-911 Call Centers Want to ensure you can meet with a particular legislator on your County Day?
