Scott County KFTC update

Scott County KFTC members have stayed active with an impressive array of work including fund raising, lobbying, community events like the recent Martin Luther King Jr. march, phone banks, and more.

Late last year, the chapter adopted a local issue campaign for the first time – creating a program for curbside recycling in the city of Georgetown and working alongside of the Georgetown College's Green Team to do it.  

Members are still researching the best ways to create a strong recycling program, but have already had some of the first meetings with city council members and plan to meet with many more in the coming months.

At their January meeting, we had a conversation about our New Power Leader program, and everyone in the room pledged to become a new power leader and to be in contact with 5-20 others as part of that organizing strategy.  

The chapter also wants to take a more intentional look at trainings and leadership development.  To that end, they’ve scheduled a lobby training for February 3rd, an organizing 101 training for March 3rd, and intend to schedule a membership recruitment/ fund raising training later in the year.  

Scott County KFTC meets in the first Thursday of every month at 7pm at the Georgetown Public Library.   Feel free to join us!

We also have a letter-writing day focused on KFTC's issues in the General assembly.  It's Feb 10th at 7pm at the Mulberry on Georgetown College's campus.
