   Heads Up Louisville!
18 pages in today’s Courier Journal are filled with around 14,000 delinquent property tax bills. Some are as little as $50. If unpaid, these bills will be sold on July 19th to third parties. These tax sales can lead to very high fees and possible foreclosures for home owners. Look at these names and tell them about LHOME.
LHOME will help them pay up to $2,700 of past and current property tax bills to stabilize them and help protect their home equity. Have them call 502-882-8091 or email us at info@lhomeky.org. Time is of the essence!

Louisville Parks and Recreation to host two-day “Pick Up The Parks” event
Help clean up your neighborhood park following the Fourth of July
Every year, Independence Day brings hundreds of visitors to the parks - and with that heavy traffic comes a lot of extra litter. On July 5-6, Louisville Parks and Recreation will host the first-ever “Pick-up the Parks” Days. The event will function as a do-it yourself volunteer project for individuals, families, neighborhood groups and organizations. Louisville Parks and Recreation encourages anyone and everyone to stop by their neighborhood park or one of the suggested parks to check for litter. Any litter collected can be left in a tied off bag next to any trashcan in the park. Need gloves or trash bags? Those cleaning up the parks can pick up supplies from any of these locations during operating hours starting June 24th:
- Joe Creason Park, Main Park Office, 1297 Trevilian Way, 40213
- Newburg Community Center, 4810 Exeter Avenue, 40218
- Molly Leonard Portland Community Center, 640 N. 27th Street, 40212
- Berrytown Community Center,1300 Heafer Road, 40223
For large groups, please contact Volunteer Coordinator Sarah Flarsheim at call (502) 574-7275 ahead of the clean-up to ensure there are enough supplies.
Recommended parks for clean-ups. Parks has identified high-traffic parks that might need a little bit of extra attention after the holiday. Those parks are listed below, but those wanting to chip in can clean up any park in the city.
George Rodgers Clark Park
Petersburg Park
Chickasaw Park
Berrytown Park

Win prizes! Share your #LitterFreeLou photos! Be sure to post clean-up photos to social media using the hashtag #LitterFreeLou and tag @loukyparks.
