Season's Greetings
I love Christmas music! Singing the songs of Christmas is one of my favorite ways to celebrate the holiday season.
This year, I am part of a 50-voice choir selected from across North Alabama that will be singing as part of the annual Huntsville Christmas Festival. This picture shows choir friends from Huntsville, Madison, Athens and Decatur.
There are many events that bring us together with friends and family across the region during this special time of year. It’s a wonderful time to be in Huntsville — a city that really knows how to celebrate and build lasting connections.
Looking ahead to the New Year, I hope it brings opportunities for you to connect in new ways through volunteerism or picking up a few scraps of litter as you see them. Together, we continue to make Huntsville a great place to live, and I look forward to working alongside you in 2025. It is an honor to serve as your City Council representative.
Wishing you joy, peace and blessings this Christmas and in the coming year.
Jennie Robinson and Family

Lock, Secure, Protect
Unlocked cars are prime targets for thieves, and it only takes seconds for someone to steal valuables. That's why the Huntsville Police Department is urging the community to Lock, Secure, Protect. This initiative focuses on preventing thefts of property and weapons from unsecured cars. Throughout December, visit HPD's Facebook page for important insights and statistics to raise awareness and help protect our community.

Council Member Robinson joined Mayor Battle at Chairman Mac McCutcheon’s annual State of the County address. McCutcheon, recently re-elected, highlighted past accomplishments and outlined plans for public safety and quality of life. Huntsville is fortunate to have the strong partnership of Chairman McCutcheon and the Madison County Commission. We appreciate their ongoing support and leadership in helping to shape our community’s future.
One Table Huntsville
One of Huntsville’s beloved holiday traditions is One Table Huntsville, presented annually by Village of Promise. This event unites people from all walks of life to share a free meal in Big Spring Park. It’s a wonderful opportunity to connect with others you might not typically meet. If you've never attended, make plans to be there next year.
