November 8 - 53rd annual Schnitzelburg #1 Citizen Dinner
Schnitzelburg's #1 Citizen will be honored November 8 for outstanding service to the community.
This tradition began more than 50 years ago. The first #1 Citizen, Kenny Schmied, quietly served Schnitzelburg each day, whether out in the street or in church, without asking for thanks or recognition. He did these things simply because he loved “ole Schnitzelburg.” Using Kenny as inspiration, a group of Schnitzelburgers decided to annually recognize one selfless individual.
Traditionally, a German style dinner is served, local dignitaries attend, and the #1 Citizen is honored with a certificate, a personalized Louisville Slugger baseball bat, and a personalized jacket.
The #1 Citizen Dinner is November 8 at St. Elizabeth's cafeteria from 5 to 8 p.m. Tickets are $10 and will be available at Hauck's Handy Store, at all upcoming SACC General Meetings, and at the door the night of the event.

October 12 and 13 - Garvin Gate Blues Festival
With great fall weather underway, another great Old Louisville tradition takes place this weekend highlighting some of the best blues music to hear in Metro Louisville. And no one can argue with the price for admission: it’s FREE.
President David James (D-6) and Four Roses Bourbon invite the community to the 2018 Garvin Gate Blues Festival to be held on Friday and Saturday, October 12 and 13 at The Gate on Garvin Place at Oak Street in historic Old Louisville.
“The Garvin Gate Blues Festival is yet another reason why Old Louisville is the place to be during the fall season. It began as a simple idea to bring a little music to a neighborhood and then grew into a wonderful community event,” James said. “I can think of no better place where you can sit back and enjoy some great music from some of the best in our area and across the country.”
Among the headliners for this year are the Andy T Band, Danielle Nicole, The Keeshea Pratt Band, L. C. Williams and The Driver, Jamiah “BluesSuperMan” Rogers Band, and Laurie Jane & the 45s and Friends.
The Festival grew from what began in the parking lot of the Rudyard Kipling in 1988; a simple jam session that became popular to the people of the area. Over the years, the Garvin Place Association experienced growth with new expanded boundaries and before long became the Garvin Place Neighborhood Association.
The Association extended an invitation to those in the jam session to be an accommodating host and create a new neighborhood event. Since then, legendary blues musicians that have performed at the festival through the years.
"The Garvin Gate Neighborhood invites you join us for this free annual two-day arts and music event featuring local and national performers, a celebration of the blues and the arts, this festival attracts a multiracial, intergenerational audience,” Howard Rosenberg, Director of The Garvin Gate Blues Festival, said. “In addition to continuous live entertainment from two stages the festival has an array of food and drink vendors and more than 50 crafts booths. The event now in its 23rd year is one of the most prestigious blues events between Chicago and Mississippi."
Proceeds benefit the Garvin Gate and Old Louisville neighborhoods.

For a tour of Louisville Metro's award-winning website, watch this video: https://youtu.be/S3_DVs90hP0 The brief video highlights just ten of the useful tools available at www.louisvilleky.gov.
New LouieConnect site connects people to help
Louisville non-profits have launched a new website to help connect people in need of food, shelter and more. Metro United Way and the Family Scholar House partnered to create LouieConnect, modeling it on a similar site created in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. When someone uses LouieConnect, the web-based app asks for basic information and then lists applicable resources nearby — from food pantries to shelters to career centers to financial literacy programs. |
Discounted Recycle Carts still available for $28 for District 10 residents - in 95-gallon or 64 gallon size
Kentucky's Republican-dominated legislature voted to impose sales taxes on services on April 2. Now, services such as landscaping, janitorial services, grooming for small pets, fitness centers, car repair and items sold by governments are subject to a six percent tax.
This affects our discounted recycle cart program. The normal purchase price for the carts is $50, plus six percent sales tax, for a total cost of $53.
Metro Council District 10 will continue to provide $25 towards the purchase of this cart. Constituents will be asked to pay the difference of $28 going forward.
The discounted recycle cart program has been re-instituted by Councilman Mulvihill and now offers two sizes: the 95-gallon carts and smaller 64 gallon carts.
The photos at left show the sizes (64 gallon on the left). |
The carts normally cost $50, but Councilman Mulvihill has made them available for residents of District 10 for a reduced cost of $28. Please call 574-1110 or email us for the form.
The reduced cost recycle
carts will be available on a first come first served basis until the funds are
depleted. This offer is available to urban service district residents. |

In addition to receiving notifications, individuals can create a
Safety Profile for themselves and their household that can include any
information they want 9-1-1 and first responders to have in the event of an
emergency. When individuals make an emergency call, their Safety Profile is
automatically displayed to the 9-1-1 call taker, allowing them to send the
right responders to the right location with the right information. Information about medical history, allergies to medication, number of residents in a home and even a picture of the family dog can all be added to a Safety Profile. |
