Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani visited with 300 juniors and seniors at Pleasant Grove High School on February 7, 2011. The event was organized by the Phoenix Club of Birmingham in partnership with The Boys & Girls Clubs of Central Alabama (www.bgcca.org) and highlighted the influence of the BGCCA on youth in the area. Mayor Giuliani spoke to the group of students about the fundamentals of leadership along with the importance of setting goals and maintaining relationships with friends & family. Pleasant Grove High School Principal Wayne Byrum welcomed Mayor Giuliani to the new campus while Coach Tom Cleckler and Jamie Gilmore of the BGCCA hosted an intimate meet & greet with the Mayor for BGCCA students, staff, and supporters.
