Homewood Council President Retires After Cancer Scare
Bruce Limbaugh, who has been Homewood City Council president, resigned from the council Oct. 4 and said he soon will retire from Limbaugh Toyota, for which he also is president. “Earlier this year, I had a pretty serious cancer scare, which fortunately turned out to be benign,” he said. “But it accelerated my thinking about retirement. … “I’m 67 and I realized it’s time to retire.” Limbaugh said he plans to move out of town and spend his retirement at his lake house on Logan Martin. Peter Wright was sworn in as the new Homewood City Council president at the Oct. 7 meeting. He will serve as president for the remaining year of Limbaugh’s term. The council will be taking applications for the now-vacant Ward 5 seat through Oct. 21.

Hoover School Foundation Accepting Applications for New Friends of the Foundation
The Hoover City Schools Foundation Board of Directors recently announced plans to develop a new group of supporters, “Friends of the Foundation.” “The Foundation is expanding and we are currently accepting applications for new members who are passionate about giving back to our children through our schools so that students in Hoover City Schools can reach their full potential,” Steve McClinton, president of the foundation board, said in a release. “I encourage anyone interested to apply.” The Friends of the Foundation will work closely with the board of directors. Members of the group will meet three to four times a year. “The Friends of the Foundation group is a great way to get involved without overcommitting,” said McClinton. “Since it is a brand new group, it will evolve through the efforts of its members. I want to encourage those interested to join us and chart a new course.” The development of the new group coincides with efforts by the foundation to add to its current board of directors. In addition, the foundation is searching for a replacement for Executive Director Janet Turner, whose resignation was announced in early September and will become effective Oct. 31. Applications for board membership and the Friends of the Foundation will
be accepted through Oct. 31. For a full list of expectations, responsibilities and application details, visit hoovercsf.org/board. — Emily Williams
An ABC Store Will Join New Businesses Opening in Lane Parke
The state ABC store is the latest addition to Lane Parke. The store, scheduled to open in January, will be on Rele Street across from Sol Y Luna. It will be 5,600 square feet, nearly triple the size of the store in the Mountain Brook Shopping Center, and will be one of five ABC Select Spirits stores in Alabama. “The ABC Select Spirits designation means that the new store will offer practically any brand and brandvariation imaginable,” said Lane Parke owner John Evans. “As with the post office, the return of an ABC store to the heart of Mountain Brook Village is something we’ve been working to accomplish for some time now, and we’re thrilled that it is literally returning bigger and better than ever. In just more than a month, Lane Park developers have announced four additions to the shopping center. The Happy Olive is one of the new members of the lineup along with the ABC store, the post office and Sol Y Luna. The Lane Park location will be the second for the Fairhope-based Happy Olive, a food boutique that sells olive oils, gourmet mustards and other items. —Virginia Martin
