January 2011 State Meeting

Dear Honored Members,

I hope the new year has been good to you so far. We had a very busy year for Kentucky in American Mothers, Inc. last year, but we didn’t get together very much. I so missed seeing you this year. I hope our schedules will allow us a better opportunity to gather and meet.

I hope you have enjoyed the updates on the Kentucky AMI web site. www.KentuckyAMI.blogspot.com. It is there for you and others to enjoy. Because of our web site we were recognized and the recipient of a $2,500 grant from the Hilliard Lions Foundation.

We have much to go over as an organization. There have been some changes regarding the state organizations from the national level. We need to review these changes as a group and decide our direction.

We are hosting the first State Association meeting of the year at my house (6104 Laurel Lane, Prospect, KY) on January 29, 2011 starting at 11:00 am and then going to eat at Verbena Cafe’. Meals range in price from $6.25 to $11.49. This restaurant serves breakfast and lunch all day in a quaint comfortable atmosphere. You can go to their web site and review their menu before coming. Please RSVP to Betsy Manship at 270-842-0860 for meeting and lunch reservations.

Please bring any Mother of the Year or Young Mother applications with you to the meeting. The search committee need them to make their final selections (provided we have any).

Also, bring a few items to auction off to help our Mother of the Year and Young Mother attend National Convention in April. We hope to have both positions represented for the state of Kentucky.

I look forward to seeing you soon.

Sincerely yours,

Betsy Lowe
Kentucky State President
