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.

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.”
