In other business, the Baileyton Senior Center is doing a fundraiser to purchase two signs from the State for the new bridge on Alabama Highway 67 that was named after Baileyton native Alton Shedd, who was killed in action in Vietnam on May 19, 1967. He left a widow in Baileyton who never remarried and lived until 2002. The state requires the family to pay for the signs, which are going to be $3,600. Shedd's aunt is a member of the senior center and the senior citizens want to contribute to Alton Shedd’s memory and honor of a hometown hero.
The seniors are having fundraisers later this month. There will be two yard sales, one on Saturday, May 28 and the other on Monday, May 30 at the senior center. Monday’s yard sale will also include a car wash. The mayor, town council and others in the community are working to gather donations to put in the sales.
Donations can be taken to the senior center or to Baileyton Town Hall during business hours this month. Monetary donations can be made at any People’s Bank location to the Alton Shedd Memorial Fund.
Also discussed were the lights at the tennis courts. They have been being left on all night long, “which uses a lot of energy.” In order to correct the problem, the council approved a motion to have timers put on the lights.
The ball fields will be rented out to Parkside on Saturday, May 7 for use in a fundraiser for the various ball teams. The charge is $150 per field. The council approved.
The next Baileyton Town Council meeting will be on Monday, June 6 at 7 p.m. at Baileyton Town Hall. Meetings are open to the public.
