1. 104.3 WZYP is collecting toys today to take to Kentucky victims to give them a bonus Christmas. They will only be collecting today and the donations will join those from Toys for Tots and be taken tomorrow. (WAAY)
2. The new Huntsville-Madison County 911 center opened this week! This larger, state-of-the-art facility will allow for the expansion and growth of the area, and with multiple agencies under one roof, it will be easier to respond to calls more quickly. (WHNT)
