The donations were made to 301 of 381 participating nonprofit organizations from across the state, representing the arts, the environment, health, children, animal welfare, humanitarian aid and a host of other causes. “Donors from Kentucky and beyond really responded to this day,” said Danielle Clore, executive director of KNN Inc., which coordinated the event. “We didn’t know exactly what to expect, but we were overwhelmed with the generosity donors showed. It was a great opportunity for organizations to spread the word about the great work they do in our communities.” Participating organizations enjoyed the opportunity to raise funds in a new way. Step by Step, a Lexington-based ministry for young, single mothers, came in fourth place in the smaller nonprofit category. “KY Gives Day was the easiest, least expensive fundraiser I’ve ever done, and I’ve been involved in Step By Step fundraising for over fifteen years!” said Sheila Sekela, director. “The day and evening of the event I was basically at my computer in my pajamas. We are such a small nonprofit, we never dreamed we’d win prize money but were so proud and happy that we did.” Step by Step raised $6463, including prize money and golden ticket money. DeAnn Stephens of WKYT, Lexington, interviews Danielle Clore, executive Angie Goodwin, executive director of the Thumbs Up for Lane Goodwin Childhood Cancer director of KNN, on KY Gives Day Foundation of Beech Grove, the winner in the smaller nonprofit category, was pleasantly surprised at the support she received from donors.

  • Recreation Supply and Demand Report
    RECREATION SUPPLY AND DEMAND REPORT FOR THE DANIEL BOONE NATIONAL FOREST DOCUMENT # 8 of the ANALYSIS OF THE MANAGEMENT SITUATION for the PROPOSED REVISION of the LAND & RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN DANIEL BOONE NATIONAL FOREST USDA - FOREST SERVICE, SOUTHERN REGION November 1997 Richard A. Wilcox Forest Planning Team Winchester, Kentucky 11/25/1997 Initial Analysis OUTDOOR RECREATION Supply and Demand 1. General Purpose and Introduction: The purpose of this supply and demand analysis is to: a) define the Daniel Boone National Forest’s role in outdoor recreation; b) discuss recreation capability and historical use; and c) project the demand for outdoor recreation activities on the Daniel Boone National Forest. Outdoor recreation has changed significantly in the past 50 years. With the exception of a few upscale private resorts, lodges, and "Dude Ranches", recreation activities outdoors in the 1950's were generally considered inexpensive with an acceptance of primitive facilities. Since the 1950's many state resort parks were added to the system with golf courses, full service lodges, swimming pools and other specially developed features. Individual activities have move into high technology equipment, supplies and transportation. Areas previously accessed by dirt roads having single lanes with turnouts are now accessed by paved roads and in some cases have interstate or limited access highways nearby. Cars became station wagons which started pulling trailers that became recreation vehicles. The demand for tent sites is remaining stable while the demand for full service camping units is increasing . The Daniel Boone National Forest provides a variety of recreation opportunities to a large population near its boarders.

Twelve prominent Kentucky artists and one poet responded to equine images gleaned from the Clara Peck Collection in Transylvania’s J. Douglas Gay Jr./Frances Car- rick Thomas Library. They chose from images that varied from photographs to book plates and illuminated manuscripts, and were free to respond in any manner, literal or abstract. The Clara Peck Collection is a treasure trove of more than 500 exceedingly rare books, paintings, and art objects that demonstrate Peck’s interest in all things flora and fauna, and especially her love of horses. Among the highlights are original etchings from horse artist George Stubbs; the person- al sketch book of animaliere, artist, and sculptor Rosa Bonheur; and works by horse painter Edward Troye. 2010 Alltech/FEI World Equestrian Games Stepfather, painted poplar and metal, LaVon Van Williams Jr. Pictured in the Transylvania booth at the World Equestrian Games were, from left, sophomores Jessica Obi and Rachel Gilliam, and Betsy Brooks Bulleit ’76, a member of the Transylvania Board of Trustees.
