This week the Perry County Chapter used their meeting time for a Fall Fundraising phonebank training, planning the upcoming yearend chapter celebration (with music, food, and a film!), and "Adding Our Voice" to the KY Deserves Better tumblr page (see a couple pics below and go add your own!).
For the chapter celebration we are planning for some great home cooked food, local pickin' and singin', and we're showing the short "I Was There" film in the new seated theater at Perry County's nice, new public library! Everyone, near and far, is welcome to join us! Bring a friend and a dish!

Bev May and KY author Silas House at
the Lands Unsuitable for Mining hearing for
Wilson Creek
Five years ago this month my neighbors on Wilson Creek and I learned that a coal company was planning to start mountaintop removal strip mining on both sides of Wilson Creek. On top of this, the coal company planned to haul the coal out the curvy one-lane road on Wilson Creek, which would have been dangerous for the people on Wilson Creek, the coal truck drivers and the school bus that travels the road every day.
We knew that would mean years of blasting damaging our homes, dust and mud covering our roads and yards, and even worse flooding. We truly believe this would have meant the end of our community.
