Almost 40 folks came out to Berea last night to attend the Madison County KFTC Chapter annual meeting.  Members discussed plans for work throughout the fall as well as elected chapter officers and conducted official business.  Berea Mayor Steve Connelly was their invited guest. 

I would like to say how proud I am that we have a group like KFTC in Berea,” said Berea Steve Connelly who was the invited guest speaker.  “We are glad you are here.

Mayor Connelly brought with him two city council members and discussed issues relating to the future of Berea and answered questions from the audience.  Topics discussed included growth and economic development, education, energy conservation, and the needs of low-income folks.

I was really energized by the meeting,” said chapter member Gail Waldeck.  “I learned more about issues facing Berea from Mayor Connelly.  And I also saw a lot of new faces at the meeting, folks I hadn’t met before.

Members also celebrated previous efforts and renewed their commitment to the issues.  “I was really encouraged by the article about the mountain-top removal tour with Representative Chandler,” said chapter member Joyce Hubbard.  “It shows that we mean business.”
