  • PDF EPUB} Bluegrass Brawlers the Story of Professional Wrestling in Louisville by John Cosper ISBN 13: 9781500147655
    Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Bluegrass Brawlers The Story of Professional Wrestling in Louisville by John Cosper ISBN 13: 9781500147655. Bluegrass Brawlers: The Story of Professional Wrestling in Louisville. Cosper, John ; Bolin, Kenny. This specific ISBN edition is currently not available. As the Attitude Era drew to a close in the early 2000s, the WWE already had an eye to the future. The stars who would succeed the Rock, Stone Cold, and the Undertaker were already well on their way to the big time, and Louisville, Kentucky had a front row seat to the future. They were all here – Cena, Orton, Batista, Lesnar. They were all on display every Wednesday night for free at Ohio Valley Wrestling’s Davis Arena. Alongside established stars like the Big Show and Mark Henry, the Superstars of Tomorrow trained under the watchful eye of Jim Cornette and Danny Davis, waiting for their moment. More would follow in their footsteps. Some were already close by, like the brash young heel lighting it up every week for Southern Indiana’s IWA Mid-South promotion, CM Punk. As stunning as that time in history now appears, it was only one of many golden wrestling eras for Louisville, Kentucky, a city that has always loved its fight sports. “Bluegrass Brawlers: The Story of Professional Wrestling in Louisville” covers them all, from the earliest days when wrestling was king to the vibrant independent scene of today. Beginning in 1880 with tales of circus stars and barn-storming grapplers, “Bluegrass Brawlers” chronicles the evolution of a sport and the city that embraced it.

    annual report 2020 July 1, 2019 – June 30, 2020 Restoring Hope During a Pandemic Catholic Charities’ Mobile Food Pantry May 6, 2020 table of contents Letter from the Executive Director ............................ 3 Year in Review ....................................................... 4 Programs & Services .............................................. 6 2020 By the Numbers ........................................... 12 Financials ............................................................ 14 Donors ................................................................ 15 Ways to Give ........................................................ 41 Board of Directors & Administration ........................42 Dear Friends, I pray that this note finds you healthy. As I reflect on our 2020 fiscal year, I am struck by how much our lives have changed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. What began as a peaceful year transformed into a time like no other we have experienced in our lifetimes. At Catholic Charities, Diocese of Joliet, we have witnessed the devastation that the pandemic has created for so many of our neighbors who live on low incomes. On the frontline, we met countless families that lost their incomes and could no longer afford their basic living expenses. Working hours were reduced at jobs. Furloughs created months without a paycheck. All of these factors contributed to an increase in the number of individuals seeking help. The photo on the cover of this report shows hundreds of cars lined up in rows for our Mobile Food Pantry at St. Mary Immaculate Parish in Plainfield. It’s a heartbreaking visual to represent the increased need in the community. Individuals arrived hours before these events began to ensure that they would receive a box of healthy food. Some Mobile Food Pantry locations witnessed four times the number of participants than in prior months. Catholic Charities responded to this need by increasing the number of Mobile Food Pantry events around the Diocese.

  • 2014 Annual Report
    Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art Annual Report 2014 REPOR T from the President and Director & CEO Renewing the Wadsworth Atheneum The past twelve months have been one of the most transformative chapters in the long and illustrious history of the Wadsworth Atheneum. From completing the second phase of our $33 million roof-to-basement renovation, bringing our campus of five historic buildings into the 21st century, to maintaining the museum’s standards for excellence in scholarship, acquisitions, and groundbreaking exhibitions, Daniel Wadsworth’s “spirit of genius” has continued to inspire creative collaboration and forward momentum since the museum first opened to the public 170 years ago on July 31, 1844. Increased commitments from generous funders energized the massive renewal project. The year began on a high note with the thrilling news of a $5 million award from the State of Connecticut, bringing the State’s total investment in our building renovation to $25 million and ensuring that we could confidently enter the final phase of work on the Wadsworth and Morgan Memorial Buildings. We extend our utmost gratitude to Governor Malloy and his administration for their trust in our mission, and we are fully committed to our crucial role as a thriving cultural destination with a measurable economic impact for the State of Connecticut. Another transformative moment came with the unexpected announcement of the largest single bequest in the museum’s history — $9.6 million from the estate of former museum member Charles H. Schwartz. This significant gift, designated for the acquisition of European artworks from the 18th century or earlier, was immediately put to good use by our curatorial team’s newest member, Susan Morse Hilles Curator of European Art Oliver Tostmann.

The myth of the unbeatable fighter is just that, a myth. In what will go down as the single most memorable UFC fight in history, Ronda Rousey was not only defeated, but systematically destroyed by a fighter and a coaching staff that had spent years preparing for that night. On 2/28, Holly Holm and Ronda Rousey were the two co-headliners on a show at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. The idea was that Holm, a former world boxing champion, would impressively knock out Raquel Pennington, a .500 level fighter who was known for exchanging blows and not taking her down. Rousey was there to face Cat Zingano, a fight that was supposed to be the hardest one of her career. Holm looked unimpressive, barely squeaking by in a split decision. Rousey beat Zingano with an armbar in 14 seconds.
