You're invited to BirminghamCREW's October Luncheon on Tues, Oct 19th at 11:30am in the Gold Room of The Club! Our guest speaker is David Sher, Publisher of Comeback Town, who will be discussing giving the people of Birmingham and the entire state a voice with though his blog.

George R. Leighton wrote an article for Harper's Magazine August 1937 entitled "Birmingham Alabama: The City of Perpetual Promise."  He began the article with this sentence:

“In a mountain wilderness, laid a region devastated by the war and inhabited by bankrupts, a group of speculators and industrialists in 1871 founded a city and peopled it with two races afraid of each other. This town without parallel anywhere, was Birmingham, Alabama.”

What can we do to help Birmingham finally achieve its potential?
