Have you noticed the bus stops along Frankfort Ave have been beautified? We want to take a moment to give a special thanks to Lucy Vanderhoff, a rising junior at DuPont Manual High School, for volunteering her time over the summer towards this project. She spruced up the bus stops with mulching, planting, weeding, etc and she did an amazing job!! Thank you Lucy, for your beautification efforts in District 9!
The Presley Post is excited to announce the return of the highly anticipated, Legacy Week; a weeklong health and wealth festival celebrating the power of legacy and it's 2nd anniversary, to take place September 17-22, 2023.

Energy from under the earth could be a key to Louisville’s clean energy future. A virtual event in August will explore how geothermal power is already at work in the city and its potential for much greater expansion by businesses as well as homeowners.
On August 23 an event titled “REAL Good News” will hold its 11th in a series of quarterly public Zoom meetings aimed at making sure Louisville implements its green energy goals. In 2020 the Metro Council passed a resolution to move the city’s operations to 100% clean renewable electricity by 2030. That resolution also sets a goal of 100% clean energy for the entire Louisville community by 2040.
August’s event will feature a discussion by an expert panel on how geothermal energy can improve the bottom line for any heating and cooling system, how homeowners can use geothermal energy, and how the expansion of geothermal can reduce the world’s emissions of greenhouse gases.
Speakers will include Brian Sinnwell with the Louisville Regional Airport Authority; Sarah Lynn Cunningham with the Louisville Climate Action Network; and Ben Reno-Weber, Metro Council Representative for District 8.
Music by Louisville musician and activist John Gage will open and close the event. People attending will also be encouraged to attend Metro Council meetings to speak in favor of implementing Louisville's clean energy resolution.
The REAL Good News event will run from 7 to 8:30 August 23. The three sponsoring organizations are 100%REAL, Kentucky Interfaith Power and Light, and the Christian Action group of St. Paul United Methodist Church.
The event is free but registration is required. Here’s the url for the Zoom link to register: https://tinyurl.com/4ymxsx5b

Kentucky has launched an innovative new program to assist working families with the cost of child care and help employers attract and retain talent. The Employee Child Care Assistance Partnership (ECCAP) helps employers meaningfully contribute financial assistance directly to employee child care costs by matching their contribution up to 100%, potentially doubling the value of their employer-provided benefit. For example, if an employer commits $100 per month to their employees' child care expenses, the state may match that contribution up to another $100, giving employees a total of up to $200 in child care assistance. All funds from the employer and the state are paid directly to eligible child care providers, who are included in this database. Various program restrictions apply. To learn more, view the Kentucky Chamber's ECCAP resource page here, visit Kentucky's ECCAP program page here, or send inquires to PartnershipChildCare@ky.gov
