Something strange is going on here at the Fund – things keep disappearing from my desk! Someone told me the other day I need to go on Facebook to find out why. Celebrating 64 years of the Fund for the Arts is too much fun! After last week’s email I received countless notes about birthdays. I can’t wait to see the great things you guys accomplish with your birthday buddies. Continue sending your notes and stories my way. I love to hear from you! Be sure to check out all the fabulous events around town listed below, and how you can win two tickets to see West Side Story!
Now I want to introduce you to a couple of my friends who popped in to visit the Greater Louisville Central Labor Council AFL-CIO meeting at the National Association of Letter Carriers Local 14 this week over on Poplar Level Road. Yes, these are my old stomping grounds. I graduated from Camp Taylor Elementary and Thomas Jefferson High School. WOW! We had a great time! Watch this week’s video blog below to meet Calvin and Caroline.
