  • Girl Scouts of Kentuckiana Council History 1910S
    Girl Scouts of Kentuckiana Council History Girl Scouts has not always been as popular and successful as it is today. In fact, the organization had a somewhat humble beginning. The Movement began on March 12, 1912 with just 18 girls in Savannah, Georgia. Initially founded by Juliette Gordon Low as American Girl Guides, the name of the organization was changed to Girl Scouts in 1913. Her idea was revolutionary, for although times had begun to change, the lives of girls and women were still very limited. They had few opportunities for outdoor recreation, their career options were almost non‐existent, and, as Juliette Low observed, they were expected to be "prim and subservient." But convention did not impede Juliette Low. Her vision of Girl Scouting became a reality that actively challenged the norms that defined the lives of girls. She constantly encouraged girls to learn new skills and emphasized citizenship, patriotism, and serving one’s country. Girl Scouts of Kentuckiana History & Archive Committee invites anyone interested in preserving Girl Scout history, developing Girl Scout history related programs and events, creating historic exhibits, and/or interviewing and collecting oral Girl Scout histories to contact the history and archive committee at [email protected] for more information. 1910s In Louisville, the first unofficial Girl Scout troop was organized in July of 1911 by Charlotte Went Butler, an outdoors‐loving 11‐year‐old, even before the Girl Scouts was officially founded in Georgia. A patrol of eight girls was formed as members of Boy Scout troop #17. The girls met in the basement of the Highland Library.

  • Kentuckianaworks Construction/ Skilled Trades Pipeline Project
    KentuckianaWorks Construction/ Skilled Trades Pipeline Project Location: Louisville, Kentucky Host Organization: Louisville Urban League Partner Organizations: Justice Resource Center, Kentuckiana Associated Building Contractors, Greater Louisville Building and Construction Trades Council, KentuckianaWorks (Greater Louisville’s Workforce Investment Board), Kentuckiana Plan Target Population: Adult Minorities and Women Program Innovations • Graduates interview with a joint panel of union and non-union job placement agents to maximize choice, opportunity, and employer-employee fit • Union and non-union associations provide graduates with job placement services under a performance-based contract with the local workforce investment board Program History At the time the Construction Pipeline Project began in 2007, the Louisville area was undergoing some large-scale development. In downtown Louisville, a large sports arena was being constructed and projects related to the Museum Plaza, Iron Quarter, and River Park Place were also scheduled to begin. The Justice Resource Center, an organization involved in civil rights, collaborated with the Louisville Urban League and the Greater Louisville Building and Construction Trades Council to lobby the Metro Louisville Council to adopt a local hiring ordinance to ensure the jobs resulting from these projects went to local residents. The Council approved an ordinance that mandated the arena project hire a workforce to be comprised of 60 percent Jefferson County residents and that 75 percent be from the local Standard Metropolitan Statistical Area (SMSA), which includes parts of Southern Indiana. In addition, 15 percent of the employees on the initial arena project were to be minorities and five percent were to be females. © 2010 The Aspen Institute/WSI. All rights reserved.

    Michter’s & Harvest present The Culinary Trust Gala March 4, 2017 Welcome to The Culinary Trust Fundraiser and Live Auction Michter’s Distillery, Harvest Restaurant and The Culinary Trust teamed up to create a special evening of Southern Hospitality. We are delighted to present a unique cocktail, dinner and dessert menu made from regional ingredients that have been baked, cured, smoked, preserved, or aged — all right here in Louisville. As part of the “Upper South”, the cuisine of Kentucky offers both traditional Southern fare and Kentucky originals. Often referred to as “Kentuckiana” cuisine, a portmanteau of Kentucky and Indiana, tonight’s regional menu features ingredients from some of Kentuckiana’s finest artisanal food purveyors of squab, rabbit, catfish, paddlefish, trout, oxtail, country ham, black-eyed peas, and, of course, American white oak aged bourbon, and rye whiskey. Many of these purveyors are featured in this keepsake program, our token of gratitude for you. The Culinary Trust’s Board of Trustees thanks Michter’s Distillery, tonight’s sponsor, and you, our guests, for your financial support, which for over 33 years has helped to fund over $1.6 million in grants for individuals and non-profits focused on critical issues in food; and, scholarships, internships and fellowships for culinary professionals and food writers covering important topics.
