Volunteers turned out on Saturday to help raise two houses for low-income families in Perry County.

CHAVIES — A group of ambitious high school students have spent the last two Saturdays in a fairly unconventional way. They have been volunteering as a part of the Foundation for Appalachian Kentucky’s youth leadership and philanthropy program. The 12 students have been able to be so successful in recruiting volunteers that they have been able to do twice the work.

The Foundation for Appalachian Kentucky’s youth leadership program (YLP) is working to create a young group of philanthropists in Hazard and Perry County. So far for their first project, they have been able to do better than they had expected.

The YLP is starting by working with an existing nonprofit, the Housing Development Alliance, before they start doing monthly charity work. According the Robin Gabbard with the Foundation, working with the Housing Development Alliance was a good way to start with nonprofit work because they already had a program for teenagers.

The Housing Development Alliance build affordable housing for low income families and then helps them find affordable loan options for mortgages. They build many of these homes using volunteers.

To raise a house in just two Saturdays, they utilized the work of more than 50 volunteers.

Janie Rose of the Housing Development Alliance said that after the successful first Saturday, they made the quick decision to have their carpenters build the foundation for a second house and have half of the next Saturday’s volunteers raise that house.

On August 18, YLP had volunteers from the Davidson Baptist Church Youth Group, Perry County Central JROTC, and the Buckhorn JROTC.

Gabbard said that the YLP will be working on the Run for the Hills Charity Challenge as their next major project. They are hoping to be as diverse as possible with their projects and are looking at a food drive for one of their upcoming projects.

LTH Youth Players dedicate time to summer play
Jun 20, 2013 | 822 views | 0 0 comments | 3 3 recommendations | email to a friend | print

Director Terry Thies has announced the cast for the upcoming production of “The Fourth Princess” by Geoff Bamber.

The play, a presentation of Little Theatre of Hazard, will be performed during Summer in the Park, a celebration of the Arts and Bobby Davis Park, on Saturday, June 22 at 7 p.m. Thies also announced that Letha Patterson will be the music director for the play.

This year the group will add more musical numbers to their show and that is only being made possible by Patterson having time to work with LTH this summer. Everyone in the production is very happy to have Patterson on board and are adjusting well to the additional song and dance numbers. Patterson is also running the sound effects for the show.

“The Fourth Princess” brings together actors from age 4 to age 18 to tell the story of a broke kingdom (from paying off the dowries of threeprincesses), their valiant king just home from the Crusades to discover his treasury is no more. His ever faithful Prime Minister Batac concocts an impossible task to bring the country back to greatness.

The cast of the “The Fourth Princess” includes by alphabet: Emile Adams, Dana Bush, Jonathan Counts, Mary Daniels, Alexa Davidson, Ava Dixon, Libby Doll, Mandy Engle, Connor Francis, Raegan Francis, Caitlyn Fugate, Ramsey Hall, Kelsy Howard, Madison Howard, Halle Jo Kilburn, Seth Lewis, Trey Lewis, Madison Miller, Elly Morris, Haley Patterson, Henry Sepulveda, Skyanne Slone, Brock Torres, Sarah Torres, and Lily Williams-Lucero.

The Teen Players will also present a short play, “Among Friends and Clutter” by Lindsey Price. Seth Lewis, one of our originals, is directing with assistants Connor Francis, Rebecca States and Tori Howard. The play is a series of vignettes around the lives of seven people who were in the same First Grade class. The Players in this production are: Alexa Davidson, Connor Francis, Caitlyn Fugate, Ramsey Hall, Seth Lewis, Elly Morris, Skyanne Slone, and Sarah Torres.

Summer in the Park was voted the Best Community Festival for 2012 in March’s “Reader Choice Awards” conducted by The Hazard Herald. The Art Festival will be June 22 this year with displays ready for viewing by 4pm. Any young artists in the area, ages 3-18, are welcome to submit pieces for the Youthful Art Display this year. Artists of all disciplines are welcome to display, demonstrate and sell their works at the festival, with no charge to the artist. Room is still available if you would like to set up for the festival. See our page on Facebook, Summer in the Park, to sign up, or contact Terry Thies 436-2848. The Festival is made possible this year by the Foundation for Appalachian Kentucky, the Hazard Lions Club, Community Bank and Trust and Whitaker Bank.
