Commissioner Montgomery said she would like to make everyone aware of the Fund
Run for Charities at the start of the Summer Festival. The Fund Run begins at 8:00 a.m.,
July 21. The Community Foundation of West Kentucky and Paine Webber are
sponsoring the first such run. The event will help non-profit organizations in our area
grow endowment funds to serve their interests for generations to come. A generous
donor made a $50,000 gift to the Community foundation, and the funds donated in any
participation charity's name will be matched up to $10,000 each. Earlier this week there
was an article in the paper that some nonprofit organizations were short of funds. If each
charity had an endowment, the interest off the endowment would help them throughout
the difficult times.
Stephen Lance Dennee, a downtown resident, addressed downtown parking issues. He
suggested allowing permit parking for downtown residents. at the corner of Broadway and
Water Street during, especially during weekend and special downtown events. The
Commission told Mr. Dennee the Traffic Commission will investigate this situation.
