Miss Leeds Area Samantha Hennings Announces “City of Valor’s Got Talent” Fundraiser Event

The Leeds community is invited to showcase their talents for a great cause at the upcoming City of Valor’s Got Talent event, hosted by Miss Leeds Area Samantha Hennings. Samantha spoke at the February 3rd Leeds City Council meeting to share details about this exciting talent competition, which will take place at 6:00 p.m. on March 1, 2025 at the Leeds High School auditorium.

The event, part of Samantha’s Willing Hearts Devoted to Heroes community service initiative, aims to raise funds for The Red Barn in Leeds, supporting programs for veterans suffering from PTSD.

“This event will provide opportunities for individuals or groups of all ages from across the state to display their talents for a great cause,” Hennings shared. “The proceeds will support The Red Barn, which recently trained staff through Columbia University’s ‘Man of War’ program to better serve veterans in need.”

Talented individuals and groups of all ages are encouraged to register by February 19 for a $50 entry fee, while audience members can attend for $10 at the door. The competition will feature three age divisions: 12 & under, 13-25, and 26 & older, with cash prizes for top winners. Samantha is seeking sponsors to help fund the $1,675 in prize awards, with contributions still needed for first, second, and third-place winners, as well as a Crowd Favorite Award.

Local business Central Alabama Sign & Trophy has already stepped up by donating awards for the winners.

For more details on Willing Hearts Devoted to Heroes, visit WillingHeartsDevoted2Heroes.org. Those interested in sponsoring or participating can scan the QR codes on event flyers or contact Samantha Hennings for more information.

Don’t miss this chance to support a meaningful cause while enjoying a night of incredible local talent!

The Meaning of Valentine’s Day in Today’s World

valentines-day-storefront-600x
valentines-day-pic-cake-shop-600x

Valentine’s Day celebrated on February 14th, has transformed from a feast day honoring St. Valentine, a martyr who performed secret marriages, into a global celebration of love. Today, it’s a time to appreciate all forms of love in our lives, whether it's romantic, familial, or platonic. While some critique its commercialization, many see it as an opportunity to reaffirm their love for significant others, friends, and family. In a fast-paced world, Valentine’s Day offers a moment to pause and celebrate the connections that make life meaningful.

Valentine's Day: Then and Now

Valentine's Day has seen a significant evolution over the years, transitioning from traditional courtships to modern-day celebrations.

The Old Generation: Classic Romance
In the past, Valentine's Day was marked by heartfelt gestures like handwritten love letters and carefully chosen cards. Couples exchanged flowers and chocolates, often accompanied by sentimental notes. Intimate dinners and moonlit walks emphasized genuine connection and emotional depth.

The New Generation: Digital Love
Today, technology and social media have transformed Valentine's Day. The younger generation embraces digital communication, with text messages, video calls, and social media posts becoming common expressions of love. Gift-giving now includes experiential presents like getaways, adventure activities, and personalized gifts. Self-love and celebrating all forms of love, including friendships, have also gained prominence.

Bridging the Generations
While the ways of celebrating have changed, the essence of Valentine's Day remains the same: a celebration of love and connection. By combining timeless traditions with modern innovations, we can create new and meaningful ways to celebrate love in all its forms.

HELPING OTHERS

Leeds Outreach

We hope you enjoy looking back at Leeds Welfare's presence in the 1950s. The service that began as Leeds Welfare Agency began in the late 1930s and continued through many decades . Beginning in 1994, the service carried on as Leeds Welfare LLC, dba Leeds Outreach. For over 30 years now, Leeds Outreach has worked solely with volunteers and to date has no paid staff members, rent or other bills so 100% of your donation goes directly to assisting those in need throughout our community.
