 Calling all fathers! The
Catholic Enrichment Center of the Archdiocese of Louisville’s Office of
Multicultural will host 502_Father Talk on
Thursday, June 22, 2017, from 6:30 p.m. - 7:30 p.m., 3146 West Broadway,
Louisville, KY 40211. This event will provide a place where fathers can talk
and identify with other fathers while discussing issues and concerns in a
healthy and confidential way. This can lead to a path of empowerment and
inspiration for fathers of all ages because “dads do matter”. This is a
collaborative effort between the Louisville Metro Department of Public Health
and Wellness, the Louisville Metro Healthy Start program and the Catholic
Enrichment Center. For more information contact Regina Moore at (502)574-5275

 On Saturday, June 24th, at Louisville Waterfront Park’s Festival Plaza, the Kentucky Guild of Brewers will host its first annual Kentucky Craft Bash. The Kentucky Craft Bash will be the state’s largest beer festival that will only feature beers produced within the Commonwealth by Kentucky Craft Brewers. This event will host over 30 Kentucky breweries featuring more than 70 varieties of beer. And don't worry we have live music to keep you entertained and food trucks to fill your bellies. Not only will you be able to enjoy the Kentucky brews you’ve come to love, you will be able to sample experimental beers that will never go into widespread distribution, and beers rarely found outside of a brewery’s taproom or brewpub. For one day this summer, Festival Plaza will transform into the largest most exclusive taproom in the nation! For more information go to www.kycraftbash.com.
 This coming Tuesday June 13th
the New Roots, Parkland Fresh Stop Market, 1600 Virginia Avenue and partners
welcome everyone to the first Parkland Fresh Stop Market of the 2017 growing season!
Fresh Stop Markets (FSM) are run by leaders in a grassroots food justice
movement that operates from the belief that fresh food is a basic human right.
FSMs are volunteer, community-driven farm-fresh food markets that pop up
bi-weekly at local churches and community centers in fresh food insecure
neighborhoods.
“Shareholders” agree to cooperate and pay ahead of time, on a
sliding scale, for ten varieties of seasonal, local, organic produce that can
then be picked up at a given time and day, at one of the 15 different Kentucky
and southern Indiana Markets. This cooperation and financial commitment ensures
that farmers don’t face the same degree of risk as with traditional farmers’
markets. The sliding scale means food is affordable and everyone is included.
The deadline for ordering your share of produce is this Friday, June 9th at 9
PM.
Please go to http://www.newroots.shop/<http://www.newroots.shop/> to order. Families on SNAP
please call 502-509-6770 to place your order. You can also email nfo@newroots.org<mailto:info@newroots.org>.
WIC participants pay $6, those at or below 185 percent federal poverty
guidelines pay $12, others pay $25, and those who would like to invest in the
community pay $40.
>
> Everyone gets the same food! At every Market a chef hosts a cooking
demonstration, offering samples and recipes for the very same vegetables and
fruits that shareholders bring home. There is a diverse, family reunion
atmosphere.
