One of the highlights and hallmarks of Zoo Weekend is MISS BETTY’S ZOO WEEKEND BAKE SALE.  Miss Betty and her dedicated helpers have been holding the annual Zoo Weekend Bake Sale since 1996.  Over the years, Miss Betty’s Bake Sale has raised tens of thousands of dollars for Montgomery Zoo improvements and expansions. 

In order to make this year’s bake sale another huge success, Miss Betty needs a lot of creative bakers to donate cookies, brownies, rice crispy treats, cake slices, cupcakes and any other delightful treats you can imagine.  So, wrap on those aprons, grab some oven mitts and let’s start baking. 

If you would like to make a donation to MISS BETTY’S ZOO WEEKEND BAKE SALE, here are a few hints to help you along the way:

• Please label and bag all donations
• 2-3 small treats per bag
• If treats are large, please limit only one per bag
• No icing and items that will melt
• Please label you

MONTGOMERY – Alabama Power Service Organization (APSO) volunteers – through a Good Roots grant – partnered today with the City of Montgomery on a cleanup at Boat Ramp Park.

The APSO cleanup is the latest step in the effort to open a recreation area with a nonmotorized boat launch and fishing access off of Maxwell Avenue along the Alabama River. Volunteers from Maxwell Air Force Base began the cleanup on Feb. 16.

The project is funded through a $10,000 Good Roots grant, matching funds from the city of Montgomery, and volunteer and in-kind labor. The completed park will connect the city of Montgomery’s Riverwalk with Maxwell Air Force Base.

APSO is focused on helping nonprofit groups and charitable projects that promote the core values of Alabama Power's charitable giving efforts. The organization includes more than 5,000 employees and their families who typically volunteer more than 50,000 hours a year.
