TRUSSVILLE – ABC 33/40 Chief Meteorologist James Spann was the featured speaker at the Trussville Area Chamber of Commerce (TACC) monthly luncheon on Dec. 17. Santa was also a welcome guest at the luncheon, along with Trussville Fire Department personnel who were on-hand to pick up toys donated for the annual toy drive.
Spann spoke briefly on the weather, calling this winter an “El Nino” winter, meaning warm and wet. He also gave a few inspirational quotes to live by, including: “If you have a servant’s heart, you will be successful in what you do.” He also noted, “To be blessed, bless other people.”
Also at the luncheon, the chamber presented prize money and ribbons to the winners of the Christmas parade float competition sponsored by America’s First Federal Credit Union. First place went to Trinity Contractors, second place to Boy Scout Troop 216, and third place to Positive Choices.
