Councilwoman Vicki Aubrey Welch (D-13) honored Christopher,
a member of Troop 0685, during a Metro

special Eagle Scout Project was completing a 16’ scenic and safe walking bridge
in Waverly Park.
Christopher, a student at Male High School, began
in the traditional programs at Carter Traditional Elementary and Johnson
Traditional Middle School where he received recognition for perfect attendance
in all three years and he continues to maintain that perfect attendance at Male. He also plays the tuba in the marching band.
The Graffiti Abatement Coalition
March 28 Survey
They will be holding its first Annual Graffiti Vandalism Survey
for the Louisville Metro Area on March 28th. The Annual Graffiti Vandalism
Survey is the most important tool for understanding how much of a problem
graffiti-vandalism truly is for the city of Louisville. The information from
this survey will allow the City of Metro Louisville to:
- Properly
apply funding to the areas most affected
- Prepare
for the Derby Blitz (cleaning up the city before Derby)
- Receive
state and federal grant money for handling the problem (HUD grants etc.)
Volunteers will be given
instructions, a survey instrument and a route map and will be asked to walk or
drive the route, recording each instance of graffiti that they see. Routes usually take two hours to complete. Meeting locations will be distributed as
soon as they become available. There will be meet-ups at 9 am, 1 pm and 3:30 on
both March 28. For more information or to volunteer go to www.graffitiabatementlouisville.com
