PI Day = March 14, 2015 (3.14159)

Celebrate PI Day in Hueytown or just celebrate Pie everyday in Hueytown!  What is Pi?  Technically a mathematical constant, the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter and  equal to 3.14159    Here are a few important PI equations:
   • C = 2πr   (Circumference of a circle = 2π x radius)
   • A = πr 2    (Area of a circle = π x radius 2)
   • V = πr 2h  (Volume of a Cylinder = (π x radius 2 x height) 

It is also a very tasty pastry!  So grab a quick slice at one of our local Chamber member businesses.   Today and everyday!
