CKY lobby training was a success

The Central Kentucky chapter of Kentuckians for the Commonwealth had their monthly chapter meeting on January 17^th at 7 p.m. with 24  members in attendance. The chapter meeting focused on a lobby training for members and an opportunity to meet the new Central Kentucky organizer Beth Howard. The lobby training focused on topics such as how a bill becomes a law, what grassroots citizen lobbying looks like, and what bills KFTC members will be actively suporting during the 2013 general assembly. Members also came together to make Valentine’s Day cards for Governor Steve Beshear to be delivered on I Love Mountains Day on February 14^th. The valentines urge the governor to do more to protect Kentucky's air, water, mountains and communities.
