EPISODE THREE Featured Stories:

episode one photo montage

SHOW THREE: The third show in the series hosted by Brian Simmons features studio guests Lyle Hanna of Hanna Resource Group  who will speak about the Bluegrass Community Connector Project, which will identify 100 key individuals in Central Kentucky , who naturally increase communication and cooperation across city limits and county lines. Kris Kimel with Kentucky Space will discuss this educational nonprofit enterprise that actually designs and launches satellites into space from Kentucky !  On-Location stories include the Mountain Association for Community Economic Development’s (MACED) project to combat predatory lending in Berea and Eastern Kentucky .

SHOW FOUR PLANNING: The fourth show in the series is currently on hold due to a lack of funding. We have some great ideas in queue but have run out of resources to move forward.  We really need your help.  Honestly, we're all a little dismayed that we've heard from SO FEW KY nonprofits.  This effort is FOR YOU!  Without your support, stories and passion we cannot continue this important awareness campaign. We'd love some words of encouragement and most importantly, your stories. Please contact us and partner with us to keep the GOOD NEWS flowing...and tell your friends!
