A 90th birthday tribute—Birmingham-Southern hosted a surprise birthday celebration for Martha Sanders (second from left) Sept. 8 in honor of her 90th birthday. Affectionately known as “Ms. Martha” and well-known for her tasty yeast rolls, Sanders has been cooking, serving, and, especially, making breads and desserts for the BSC community for more than 40 years. She was presented with a cake, balloons, and gifts to celebrate her milestone birthday and her years of dedication. Local television crews also were on hand to broadcast the event. Surrounding Sanders are (from left) Greg Atkins and Annie Posey of Aramark/BSC Dining Services and BSC President David Pollick. Sanders said she has no plans to retire any time soon.
