The Montgomery, Autauga, Elmore, Medical Alliance (MAEMA) is the 501(c)3 organization of physician spouses, which since 1948, has been dedicated to improving citizens’ health and providing a supportive network for physician families.

The United Methodist Churches of the River Region are coming together to serve shoulder to shoulder as followers of Jesus on Saturday, April 13, for the 4th Annual Great Day of Service. Thousands of volunteers from approximately 50 United Methodist churches will be working with various agencies and groups on hundreds of projects in the Montgomery, Prattville, Millbrook, Wetumpka, and Clanton areas, to share the love of God by serving our communities.

Project organizer, Ashley Davis, said, “Great Day of Service is an exciting way to make people aware of local needs and begin to serve those in our community. While many local churches and individuals are involved in Christ's mission to the world throughout the year, choosing this day to focus on service encourages even more people to get involved. Great Day of Service also connects churches and individuals so that we can accomplish together what we could not on our own.”
