The magazine looks at our community through articles and photography showcasing our quality of life and economic development opportunities. 5000 magazines are printed annually and used by numerous organizations, including the chamber, tourism, Main Street programs, economic development office, city and county governments, real estate offices, the hospital, etc. to promote the region. Chamber members are promoted and included in two directories (alphabetically and categorically) in the back section, as well.

Let us introduce you to our Centre Intern, Haley Varnadoe. She is working to get more Member Highlights completed to give our members more publicity. Please take her call when she contacts you!
From Marietta, Ohio, Haley is a rising junior at Centre College majoring in Economics & Finance and minoring in French. She is a member of Centre's swim team, and when she is not in the pool, she is probably in her hammock studying for the LSAT or planning her next travel adventure. A fun fact about Haley is that she has been a vegetarian for 12 years! She is so excited to have the opportunity to get to know more about the Chamber's businesses and hopes that her work this summer can help them get more publicity.

Restoring the Spiritual Center Project
|
Shaker Village of Pleasant Hill invites members of the public to join president and CEO Maynard Crossland, representatives from John Milner Architects and village staff for a ceremonial project launch of the Restoring the Spiritual Center project on Saturday, June 3.
The largest preservation project at Shaker Village since the initial site restoration in the 1960s, Restoring the Spiritual Center will preserve, protect and interpret the site's two most iconic buildings-the 1820 Meeting House and the 1824 Centre Family Dwelling. The $5.1 million rehabilitation project is part of a multi-phase effort to revive the preservation of Shaker Village's rich cultural landscape, while equipping historic spaces for new community-centered programs and activities.
The ceremonial project launch is planned for 11:30 a.m. on Saturday, June 3 on the front steps of the Centre Family Dwelling. From noon until 2 p.m., representatives from John Milner Architects will join Shaker Village history experts to host four distinct, 30-minute tours that talk about preservation in a global way and will use features from the building to address specific planned improvements.
Two performances of solo Shaker Music will take place in the 1820 Meeting House at 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. Guests are invited to help "close the Meeting House and Centre Family Dwelling" at 7 p.m. that evening. Other daily tours, talks and activities will continue as planned.
The event is free and open to the public.

Mark your calendar for June 20 as the Danville-Boyle County Chamber of Commerce hosts a follow-up Community Forum on Workforce. The meeting will be to share work underway since issues were identified in a February 21 Workforce Development community forum. That meeting was to invite dozens of interested agencies and individuals to meet and discuss issues and resources in our community. As a result of facilitated small groups, a list of issues was developed and the Chamber's workforce committee prioritized those and began work on two. This meeting continues the discussion and shares the work underway on developing a pre-employment training course and the implementation of a resource list into the Bluegrass and Heart of Kentucky United Way's 211 Resource Directory. The meeting will be held at the Boyle County Fire Headquarters, located at 1500 Lebanon Road, and will begin at 8:30 a.m. |
