Did you miss lunch?
Thanks to all our members who joined us for the chamber luncheon this week. We had a great turnout! Al Rider, President & CEO, with the Central Kentucky Community Foundation, shared with our group how they can offer people a way to help strengthen their local community by working with donors who want to make a lasting impact on their community through giving. The opportunity is within our grasp for LaRue County.
“Community philanthropy is about connecting the people, money, organizations and essential programs a strong community requires. Community philanthropy is the catalyst that brings the financial wealth of your community and the will of its people together.”
– Al Rider
