Last call for VOLUNTEERS to help return $4.2 Million
to 9th District Residents
I’ve partnered with State Treasurer, Todd Hollenbach, for an exciting opportunity for
the 9th District. THIS Saturday, June 18th from 10:00 am – 2:00 pm we will host the
9th District Treasure Finders Kentucky event. Treasure Finders is a proactive outreach
designed to locate Kentucky residents who may have unclaimed property/money
that’s entitled to them. We need volunteers to help us out for anytime you may have
during that four hour period on Saturday, June 18th at the Clifton Center, 2117 Payne
Street. Volunteers will be making phone calls to 9th District residents who have been
identified as having unclaimed property in the amount of $100 or more. The residents
who receive phone calls will then come to the Clifton Center to start the paperwork
to recoup those funds or given information to start the process on another day.
Volunteers from each neighborhood in the 9th District are needed! If you are
interested in volunteering please contact my office at 574-1109 or email
kyle.ethridge@louisvilleky.gov. For more information about
this program please check out video,

the case? This funny play is a mash-up of the Law & Order television show's

children's stories. All performances at Walden Theatre, and tickets are $8, general
