 Initially, when the coalition started meeting, we would sit down and assess the needs of the community and prioritize what the most important things were that we wanted to get done and what was within reach. We needed education about how to have a healthy lifestyle. Healthy eating exercise is not really indicative of some parts of the Southern culture, so it's our job to recognize that. We'd already talked about a farmers market, we had already purchased tents and tables and we were going to set up a makeshift farmers market and so this provided a more permanent structure. It will have two benefits, it will help the small business owners who are going to be selling their goods and it will actually also help the citizens of Aliceville and introducing a more healthy choice of food in our community. Another aspect that we've added around the walking track is outdoor exercise equipment. Some people in our area don't have access or cannot afford a gym membership. This is free, it's outside, you can use it 24 hours a day. The walking track as well. We have lighting out there now so you can walk 24-7, you don't have to work around your job schedule and walk during the day if that doesn't work out for your schedule. Aliceville is an important part of my life. I'm born and raised here, I'm a fifth generation Alicevillian and I'm really proud of that fact so any chance that I'm able to give back to the community and serve my community is something that I want to do. It was important to have the coalition made up of community members to have them invested and to make sure that everything that we had in all of our projects didn't end when the project was over. If someone came in and built the pavilion they wouldn't follow through to make sure that there was a farmers market and make sure that there was different community events. Like the exercise equipment, they would have just put the exercise equipment there, they wouldn't have known that we needed the lighting to go with it so people would feel safe. My advice to other communities who are trying to build a coalition and would be to find local people from a variety of backgrounds who know the needs of the community. I never would have thought that a town the size of Aliceville would have outdoor exercise equipment or a nice pavilion of this caliber. And if you ask for it, it will get done.
