Louisville, KY. – Whitehall is pleased to announce it will host a chocolate-making workshop as part of its Whitehall Wednesday series on April 24. In this class, students will mold chocolate into custom bars and a choice of florals for Mother's Day or fun Derby-themed treats to take home to friends and loved ones. During the session students will learn to melt, color, mold, and cool chocolate, as well as some interesting chocolate facts. Take home the knowledge of a chocolatier, making deliciousness to share. This workshop will be led by Whitehall Estate Gardener Tara Sheehan and her husband Pat Sheehan, former chocolatier for Cellar Door Chocolates. The class begins at 6:00 p.m. and the cost is $60 per student. Space is limited and reservations are required. Students may register here: https://www.historicwhitehall.org/whitehall-wednesdays.
Proceeds from the program will benefit Whitehall, a historic house and estate garden owned and operated by the not-for-profit Historic Homes Foundation. Originally built in the mid-1850s as an Italianate farmhouse, the house was transformed in 1909 into the iconic Classical style mansion we know today that epitomizes the stately beauty of early twentieth-century architecture. At just under ten acres, Whitehall’s grounds offer the public multiple special gardens that are a horticultural treasure to the community.

We have two exciting campaigns happening now at the League! We’re getting ready for Mother’s Day and for our next Citizens Award event!
From today through May 1st, create a Mother's Day Card where you can honor your favorite mother, grandmother, sister, daughter, neighbor, or friend. There are different levels to donate and create a card.
We are also soliciting submissions for the 2024 Citizens Award, an annual recognition of people who have made great strides in moving our democracy forward.
The role of the PVA is to fairly assess the value of property in Jefferson County. This is an important part of the process to determine the taxes collected to fund our cities, school districts, and emergency services. We do our best to determine accurate property values, but we don’t know every detail of all properties. The condition of a property could mean it falls substantially below or above the median value. That’s why it’s so important taxpayers know about their right to appeal.
Your help to share information and drive attendance at our public meetings is extremely important: the required first step for those who wish to appeal in 2024 is available only from April 26th to May 20th.

Construction continues at American Printing House for the Blind (APH). From current building renovations to the construction of an entirely new building, it’s safe to say there’s plenty going on at 1839 Frankfort Ave. Here are a few updates, courtesy of APH:
- Due to the recent rain, much of the construction work is taking place inside. Most of the main stairwells and elevator shafts have been demoed. About 40% of the concrete floors have been poured back after necessary excavation.
Photo Description: A construction worker breaks through a brick wall with a sledgehammer. The area is caution taped off and the worker is wearing a fall protection harness.
