Keep Louisville the Ultimate Hometown
This week is Earth Week and as we all know, the Kentucky Derby Festival is now in full swing. Thunder has rocked the city, balloons will soon be glowing along the waterfront, and several of my colleagues will be running in the mini-marathon this weekend. The most famous 2 minutes in racing is right around the corner along with the biggest party of the year.
We all know what comes with all this fun and celebration… a lot of visitors to our hometown. We need to make sure that our visitors see what a vital and caring community we live in. In order to do this, we should all remember to take the time to make sure that our streets are clean and our community meeting places are in tip-top shape, not just for the festivities, but for everyday.
Get together with your community members for a weekend of picking up litter from the streets in your neighborhood and let’s spruce up our community. Throw a community wide yard sale. Attendance might be great with all the visitors in town. Afterwards, carpool out to the Derby Festivities to celebrate a job well done or relax by using some of the proceeds to throw a potluck dinner party and watch the Festivities at your local community center. You can donate any leftover proceeds to a local charity.
What are you doing to help make Louisville the ultimate hometown?
