Community Support Report 2 COMMUNITY 0 1 SUPPORT 7 REPORT “Republic Bank is a community bank, and it is important to give back to the communities where our clients and colleagues live and work. We embrace our responsibility as a community business, and the opportunity to create more resilient and sustainable communities through not just our dollars but also volunteer hours. In 2016, Republic Bank donated money to over 500 organizations (many of which are listed here) in Kentucky, Indiana, Ohio, Tennessee and Florida. In addition, our Republic Bank associates opened their hearts and shared their time with over 12,600 service hours to many different organizations. We believe that our communities are stronger when we support one another. At Republic Bank, we hope that by giving back we ultimately make someone’s life a little easier.” STEVE TRAGER Chairman & Chief Executive Officer Republic Bank 21ST CENTURY PARKS CASA OF OHIO VALLEY ACTIVE HEROES, INC CASA, INC ACTORS THEATRE OF LOUISVILLE CASA OF ST.

  • Locust Grove Nature Preserve Tree Survey Louisville, Kentucky
    Locust Grove Nature Preserve Tree Survey Louisville, Kentucky Deanne D. Caffee-Cooper Department of Biology, Indiana University Southeast, New Albany, Indiana 47051 Abstract – In June and July, 2012 a tree survey of Historic Locust Grove Nature Preserve forest was undertaken. Based on the size of Red Maple trees (Acer rubrum), the forest was determined to be less than 45 years old. Twenty-four species were identified in the forest preserve. Introduction “Locust Grove is a National Historic Landmark situated on 55 acres of the original 694 acres farm established by William and Lucy Clark Croghan in 1790. The preserve consists of 24 acres within this remaining property. William Croghan was the brother-in-law and surveying partner of George Rogers Clark, founder of Louisville and Revolutionary War hero, who spent the last nine years of his life at Locust Grove, from 1809 until his death in 1818” (Locust Grove, 2012). Locust Grove is owned by the city of Louisville. Louisville Metro Parks assists with the maintenance of the grounds, but their resources are limited. A 501C3 foundation, Historic Locust Grove employs museum staff and has a board of directors which overseas staff operations. The board of Historic Locust Grove is in the process of developing a Master Plan for the museum and grounds that will look to the next 20 years. Developing a management plan for the property includes a bush honey suckle survey, a trail map, a current tree survey to include maps (See Figures 1 – 5), a current list of tree species located in the preserve area (Figure 6) , and a wildlife survey.

  • Greater Jeffersontown Historical Society Newsletter
    GREATER JEFFERSONTOWN HISTORICAL SOCIETY NEWSLETTER August 2013 Vol. 11 Number 4 August 2013 Meeting The August meeting will be Monday, August 5, 2013. We will meet at 7:00 P.M. in the meeting room of the Jeffersontown Library at 10635 Watterson Trail. The Greater Jeffersontown Historical Society meetings are now held on the first Monday of the even numbered months of the year. Everyone is encouraged to attend to help guide and grow the Society. August Meeting - Lessons From Rosenwald Schools Julia Bache will discuss the Rosenwald School movement and how Julius Rosenwald, part owner of the Sears and Roebuck Company, and Booker T. Washington partnered together in the early 1900s to build over 5,000 schools. There were seven Rosenwald schools in Jefferson County and one of those was the Alexander-Ingram School in Jeffersontown. She will also speak about how to take part in historic preservation. Please visit Ms. Bache's work in the Jeffersontown Historical Museum. It will be displayed through noon on August 7th. Julia is a sixteen year old high school student who has recently taken an active stance in historic preservation as a part of her Girl Scout Gold Award Project. With the guidance of L. Martin Perry, she nominated the Buck Creek Rosenwald School to be on the National Register of Historic Places, becoming the first high school student in Kentucky to do so. She then helped educate the public about preservation through a traveling museum exhibit that she created in partnership with the National Trust for Historic Preservation. She has also been speaking to various audiences throughout Kentucky about preserving Rosenwald Schools.
