Meeting in Louisville a Success!

In late March, I travelled to Louisville to meet with members of the WHAS Crusade for Children Advisory Council. During the course of this 8 minute meeting, we discussed the grant I had submitted in January (and just a little bit about eating on the river at Joe's Crab Shack). It was a tough meeting, but I left feeling like I knocked it out of the park. Last week, we received a message on our answering machine stating that the Crusade has invited KOB to attend a thank you lunch and check presentation at Cambridge Market at the end of July. This came as a surprise to all of us because at this point, we had no idea we had received anything. The official notice arrived in the mail today. We have been awarded $3,016 to perform 5 shows (Mental Health, Cerebral Palsy, Obesity, Cancer, and Child Abuse) for children in Louisville. Also, this grant covers half of the cost of replacing our relatively pitiful phone system. Excellent!

The troupe will be headed to Louisville quite a bit with the grants that I've written. Including funds from this grant and two others, we'll hit Louisville with 16 performances!

If you'd like to join us for our lunch and check presentation please let us know. It happens Tuesday, July 28 at noon at Cambridge Market.
