The Young Professionals of Cahaba River Society (YPCRS) has been busy since their kickoff meeting on March 27th! They hosted monthly board meetings to develop plans and social gatherings to build community, including a Cahaba River Frydown potluck where they tested catfish recipes, shared ideas for sides and desserts, and discussed their group theme. They are planning percentage nights at fun locations to provide an opportunity to support local restaurants and the group’s future projects. YPCRS’s next event is a trivia night benefiting Cahaba River Society at Lumbar on Wednesday, August 21st, at 7 pm.

YPCRS is off to a fast start and making a real difference. We are grateful for Taylor Stewart’s leadership and all these amazing volunteers who’ve engaged with YPCRS to help protect and restore the Cahaba River.
