CW Welch Presented

2015 Golden Broom Award

vicki

Councilwoman Vicki Aubrey Welch was awarded one of this year’s Golden Brooms by Lorri Roberts, Brightside Volunteer Coordinator, for organizing and participating in not one cleanup event, but two.  

Each Spring Brightside recognizes excellence for participation in our Community-Wide Cleanup. There are many ways that our Council members can earn this coveted award; by hosting their own cleanup, recruiting groups in their district to participate, joining one of the groups already engaged, or build community by hosting a gathering of the groups in their district for a celebration before or after their cleanup.

Working with her neighbors in District 13, Councilwoman Welch helped to restore Fenley Cemetery, originally part of a small farm with graves dating all the way back to the Civil War. CW Welch worked to provide extra tools and supplies that were specific to the type and scope of the work that was needed to restore this piece of Louisville’s history.  Her second cleanup took place with community members and a team from Passport Health Plan to conduct a more traditional cleanup.
