MONTGOMERY, AL – The Montgomery Clean City Commission is pleased to announce that the 2013 Telephone Book Recycling Drive is now in full swing.  If you need more than 25 books collected call the MCCC at 625-2175 and we will contact a group to pick them up.

Seven youth groups will be collecting telephone books as a fund raiser.  Boy Scout troops, church groups and cheerleaders are responsible for collecting the books and will receive a cash amount based on total poundage collected.  Thanks to YP Project ReDirectory’s continued support of this program we are able to reward these groups for their hard work.  Since the inception of this program, and with the help of many generous donations, Montgomery Clean City Commission has been able to give more than $93,000 to youth groups throughout the city for their efforts.

The Montgomery Police Department will recognize and celebrate the 10th anniversary of the department's VIPS, Volunteers in Police Service, during a program and awards banquet at 6 p.m. Thursday, May 9, at Gateway Park Lodge, 3800 Davenport Drive. During its first decade of service, VIPS has provided a multitude of volunteer services to MPD, ranging from administrative assistance to vacation home checks for local residents. VIPS volunteers supplement MPD staff, saving the city hundreds of thousands of dollars annually. Annual service awards will be presented, in addition to a special 10-year recognition program.
