Cheers for Kentucky and for Fairness in Wilderness Trace
It’s been a busy couple of months for members in the Wilderness Trace chapter.
In December, the chapter held its second annual holiday event, Cheers for Kentucky, at V the Market in Danville. Members took the opportunity to not only celebrate the great work the chapter had accomplished over the year, but to also educate people about the shifting political landscape in the chapter area. Because of redistricting, Boyle County is now represented by a new senator. Members posted large printouts of the new district maps and had conversations with people about the shift in legislators.
Northern Kentucky Loves Mountains!
The Northern Kentucky chapter is having a fundraiser featuring poets Scott Goebel and Jim Webb, and musicians Kentucky Graham and the Red Cedars. All of the performers have lent their talents to the work to fight mountaintop removal mining, and are looking forward to this great event!

Fall Fundraising Campaign Wrap-up
2013 was a remarkable year for KFTC on many fronts. One of our biggest achievements was surpassing 8,000 members. More than any other year, we as an entire membership built the kind of organization that it takes to make the change we want to see.
KFTC members held 25 house parties and events across the state and hosted almost 100 Powerbuilder personal fundraising pages. What happens when members participate in fundraising like this (apart from a total Facebook takeover)? We recruit more than 1,347 new members — including 738 during the last quarter of the year — and raise over $500,000.
