  • Position Overview
    POSITION OVERVIEW LOUISVILLE TOURISM SENIOR VICE PRESIDENT CONVENTION DEVELOPMENT (Louisville, Kentucky) ABOUT THE DESTINATION Louisville is the largest city in the state of Kentucky and the county seat of Jefferson County. Louisville is southeasterly situated along the border between Kentucky and Indiana, the Ohio River, in north-central Kentucky at the Falls of the Ohio. The Louisville metropolitan area is often referred to as Kentuckiana because it includes counties in Southern Indiana. A resident of Louisville is referred to as a Louisvillian. Although situated in a Southern state, Louisville is influenced by both Southern and Midwestern culture. Once referred to as “The Gateway to the South,” Louisville has its own unique brand of “southerness” and is sometimes referred to as either one of the northernmost Southern cities or as one of the southernmost Northern cities in the United States. Wherever you place it, it is Bourbon City, Derby City and River City all at once. Louisville is many things - original, eclectic, historic, dynamic, and above all…authentic. You could spend a lifetime getting to know our city, the people, the neighborhoods, the culture, and the history that make Louisville truly original. LOUISVILLE – A WAY OF LIFE… North, south, east, or west – Louisville offers a wealth of attractions and fantastic historic architecture in every direction. The striking local landscape includes six tree-lined parkways and 18 parks designed by New York’s Central Park planner Frederick Law Olmsted. One of only five Olmsted park systems in existence, Louisville is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The city’s public parks include playgrounds, swimming and wading pools, basketball courts, baseball fields, football fields, hockey rinks, recreation centers, horseback riding and more than 30 miles of bike lanes throughout the city.

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. June Meeting We are going to learn about the award winning Thoroughbred Chorus and then be entertained by them. The Thoroughbred Chorus was established in 1946 in Louisville as a member of what is now known as the Barbershop Harmony Society. The men originally met at the home of founder Fritz Drybrough and then for many years at the Rathskeller of the Seelbach Hotel in downtown Louisville, Kentucky. In 1978, The Thoroughbreds moved to the Old Lutheran Church building in Jeffersontown. It has since been renamed "Jim Miller Hall" to honor the late, great director of the chorus. They are a seven-time international champion chorus that is a part of the Barbershop Harmony Society. The Thoroughbred Chorus won the international championship in 1962, 1966, 1969, 1974, 1978, 1981, and 1984. The chapter has also produced several championship quartets including The Bluegrass Student Union, Interstate Rivals, Second Edition, and The Barons. August Meeting We are going to have the opportunity to visit the private museum in Soldier’s Retreat that is now owned by Brooks and Marilyn Bower. The dates in August will be between August 18 to the 31st.

    REACHING OUT AS christ’s HANDS TO THE WORLD ST. MAtthew’S EPISCOPAL CHURCH LOUISVILLE, KENTUCKY AFFIRMING St. Matthew’s PRINCIPLES Episcopal Church Louisville, Kentucky We are a caring, inclusive community St. Matthew was an outcast in his time. We honor St. Matthew by welcoming the outcasts of our time. We believe in the value of every person, regardless of physical, economic or social condition, and we strive to be a community which serves the unique spiritual needs of all God’s children. We respect and honor others who worship one God. We acknowledge that God created all things and, as God’s stewards, we strive to care for all creation. Centered in the Eucharist The Eucharist, at the very core of our community, reveals the truth that we are one in Christ, and strengthens and renews us for service. All persons are welcome to worship with us, to share the Eucharist at God’s table, and to assist our efforts in the greater community to proclaim God’s word. Grounded in the Gospel Jesus preached a message of compassion, inclusion and love. So do we. We are a community of compassion. Our bonds are based on God’s overwhelming love, rather than narrow definitions of doctrine and behavior. We accept people at all points in their spiritual journeys, and support each other as we question and grow in faith. So that we can reach out as Christ’s hands to the world We care about and for others — both within and beyond our community of faith — and always take into account an individual’s personhood and need.
