What’s going on at the Chamber?

LUNCHEONS –
In case you missed it, we had a great luncheon last month.  Thank you to our February luncheon sponsor Bluegrass Pipeline and non-profit sponsor, United Way of Central Kentucky and sustaining sponsors Magnolia Bank, LaRue Insurance, Lincoln National Bank, Bluegrass Pipeline, LaRue County Schools, and Fort Knox Federal Credit Union.  Lincoln’s General Store catered a delicious lunch!

Join us March 19th for our next member’s luncheon sponsored by LaRue Insurance and non-profit sponsor, The Lincoln Museum.  Lunch will be catered by Hinton’s Orchard.  Kenny Rambo with ECTC Workforce Solutions will be speaking on “The Generations Gap at Work.” Please RSVP no later than noon on March 18th. 

NEW MAPS –
Don’t miss the chance to promote your business on the new, full-color LaRue County Map!  Marsha Guillaum, sales representative with Hampton Publishing, will be visiting LaRue County this week to meet with interested business leaders. Contact the Chamber office, 270-358-3411 or [email protected] to discuss this exciting opportunity with Marsha!

MEASURE THE CANDIDATES–
LaRue County Farm Bureau and the Chamber are once again working together to sponsor a “Measure the Candidate” forum for the 2014 Primary election cycle.  This moderated forum follows a model used across the state to allow candidates for office to convey their platform to voters.  This is not a political debate, but a chance for candidates to provide answers to questions submitted by the audience. Due to the large number of offices contested this year, forums will be held on two different evenings in March.  The schedule for each night is as follows:

Tuesday, March 18:          Thursday, March 20:

County Attorney                State Representative

Sheriff                                  PVA

                                              County Judge/Executive

The forum will be held in the Upstairs Courtroom at the LaRue County Courthouse located at 209 West High Street, Hodgenville beginning at 7:00 p.m. each night.  Members of the audience will have an opportunity to submit questions in writing beginning at 6:30 p.m.  Questions will be screened by sponsor representatives and presented to candidates by the moderator.   

GOLF SCRAMBLE– Save the date for our 20th Annual Golf Scramble on Friday, April 25th! Get more details on our events page.

SPECIAL THANKS to our January and February renewals for their continued Chamber support:  LaRue County Animal Clinic, LaRue County Fiscal Court, Hardin Memorial Hospital, Communicare, Lincoln Parkway Pharmacy, E.G.

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.
