Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C., February 2, 2009. Extending Our Reach We owe you our success I f we may judge success by the number of people who have welcomed our programs and services to their communities, their schools, and their homes, the past two years have been the best in the Kentucky Humanities Council’s 37-year history. In 2008 and 2009, the Council has been a part of the lives of nearly 300,000 Kentuckians of all ages and in every corner of the Commonwealth. But the real congratulations are due to you. You have done more than invite and include the Council — you have informed our choices, expressed your interests, contributed your talents, and told us your stories: we can come to you because you have come to us. Thank you for the opportunities you have given us over the past two years. Without you, there would be no Kentucky Humanities Council. From sharing the story of Kentucky’s Abraham Lincoln on a national stage in Washington, D.C., to introducing families to the library in Trigg County, our goal is to offer something of value to every Kentuckian, bringing people together through the unifying themes of our history, our heritage, and our culture. That’s why we share your stories in our magazine and portray them in your community museums. Kentucky’s stories truly are our pride and our glory. From 2008-2009 Kentucky Chautauqua® and the Speakers Bureau expanded rapidly. During that two-year span, we reached 185 community organizations that had not previously experienced Kentucky Humanities Council programs. We added five new Chautauqua characters to our cast in 2009, and, thanks to a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities and our regional sponsors, we doubled the number of Chautauqua programs we sent to Kentucky’s classrooms. In partnership with the Kentucky Department for Libraries and Archives, PRIME TIME Family Reading Time® continued to grow. Targeting children aged six to ten and their families, PRIME TIME is helping Kentucky families read together, learn together, and talk thoughtfully together about the enduring ideas that will inform their lives as families, community members, and citizens in a democracy. The Kentucky Humanities Council has now introduced PRIME TIME to 51 Kentucky county libraries. Many more are waiting to participate. Thank you for the successes of the past two years. Your support gives us the courage behind our commitment to continue developing new and innovative ways of extending our reach across the Commonwealth. Since inception in 1972, the Kentucky Humanities Council has invested $14 million in Kentucky communities, reaching more than 15 million people. With your help, that’s just the beginning. Thank you for being the reason we Tell Kentucky’s Story. Most sincerely, Virginia G. Carter Executive Director www.kyhumanities.org Aristofanes Cedeño, Ph.D. Chair 31 Report to the People 2008-2009 Community Grants Grants: 68 Dollars: $232,607 Audience: 50,191 S ince its founding in 1972, the Kentucky Humanities Council, Inc. has furthered its mission of Telling Kentucky’s Story by awarding community grants to nonprofit organizations throughout the Commonwealth. Investing in the stories of others has allowed us to reach every region of Kentucky. In 2008-2009, we were honored to support the work of the nonprofit organizations listed below.

Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C. Despite the ice storm that ravaged our state, isolating communities and leaving thousands without power for weeks, more than one thousand people left Kentucky and headed to the nation’s capital to witness this tribute, the only one of its kind in Washington in February, to the man who changed our nation, forging “a new birth of freedom.” Our Lincoln was originally produced in February, 2008 at the Singletary Center for the Arts on the campus of the University of Kentucky. The success of that soldout program prompted co-producers Dr. Virginia Carter, director of the Humanities Council, and Dr. Everett McCorvey, head of the UK Opera Theatre, to organize the Washington event. It was Kentucky’s night to shine as audiences from seven states were in Washington to witness more than 375 Kentucky musicians, vocalists, dramatists, and dancers fill the stage of the Kennedy Center’s largest hall. The cast included: The Lexington Singers and their Children’s Choir; the UK Chorale; UK Opera Theatre; the American Spiritual Ensemble; Kentucky Chautauqua® dramatists; the Kentucky Repertory Theatre; Kentucky’s Poet Laureate, Jane Vance; Metropolitan Opera stars Angela Brown and Gregory Turay; the Lexington Vintage Dance Society; the UK Symphony Orchestra; and violinist Mark O’Connor. Bob Edwards, host of the” Bob Edwards Show” on XM Radio and award-winning NPR personality, served as master of ceremonies, and beloved Kentuckian Nick Clooney was a star narrator. 4 Telling Kentucky’s Story www.kyhumanities.org 75 Report to the People 2008-2009 Speakers Bureau and Kentucky Chautauqua® Programs: 953 Counties: 112 Audience: 97,020 O ur Speakers Bureau and Kentucky Chautauqua programs continue to grow in popularity, helping us make strides toward our goal of reaching every county in Kentucky. In 2008-2009, 93 percent of Kentucky’s counties (112 of 120) hosted Speakers Bureau talks or Kentucky Chautauqua performances. Thanks to program sponsors, 97,020 Kentuckians enjoyed these unique Kentucky Humanities Council speakers or Chautauqua dramas. We offered more than 147 talks given by 40 speakers and 23 Kentucky Chautauqua characters to nonprofit organizations across the state. We introduced five new Kentucky Chautauqua characters in 2009 — Lucy Bakewell Audubon, Rosemary Clooney, Justice John Marshall Harlan, Billy Herndon, and Johnny Green — giving us a total of 55 characters since Kentucky Chautauqua’s inception in 1992. In 2009 we took our Kentucky Chautauqua dramas to schools across the Commonwealth. The Chautauqua in the Schools program gives teachers an exciting way to educate students about Kentucky’s rich history and culture. Thanks to our sponsors and underwriters Kentucky Chautauqua went to 285 schools, reaching 31,022 elementary, middle, and high school students in Kentucky. We thank you for your continued support of the Speakers Bureau and Kentucky Chautauqua programs. With your assistance, these have become our most popular programs and are a vital asset in helping us in our mission of Telling Kentucky’s Story. 6 Telling Kentucky’s Story Report to the People 2008-2009 PRIME TIME Family Reading Time® Programs: 37 Counties: 26 Audience: 8,372 I n just a short amount of time, PRIME TIME Family Reading Time has become one of the most important programs offered by the Kentucky Humanities Council. The goal of PRIME TIME is to help turn at-risk students between the ages of six and ten into committed readers. In 2008-2009, twenty-nine Kentucky libraries hosted PRIME TIME programs, exposing 8,372 Kentuckians to their local library and the joys of reading. Families who take part in the sixweek PRIME TIME program are introduced to the library and with all it has to offer. Each PRIME TIME program includes a scholar and a storyteller, teaching families how to enjoy reading together and discuss the books they read. PRIME TIME Family Reading Time can change the lives of those who take part in the program. With that in mind, the Kentucky Humanities Council, in partnership with the Kentucky Department for Libraries and Archives, plans to continue to grow the program. PRIME TIME is brought to Kentucky libraries by the Kentucky Humanities Council, Inc. in partnership with: Kentucky Department for Libraries and Archives www.kyhumanities.org 97 Report to the People 2008-2009 Museum on Main Street Programs: 12 Counties: 12 Audience: 35,442 I n 2008-2009, two Smithsonian Institution exhibits came to the Commonwealth. New Harmonies: Celebrating American Roots Music delighted viewers in six Kentucky counties — Bullitt, Clark, Henderson, Johnson, Kenton, and Mason — from March 2008 through January 2009. Developed by the Smithsonian with rural audiences and small museums in mind, New Harmonies is a history of America’s musical landscape. This exhibit looks at familiar songs, the history of various instruments, the roles of religion and technology in creating new sounds, and the development of music from the Colonial period to modern day music. Another exhibit, Between Fences, traveled to six more Kentucky counties — Barren, Bell, Boyle, Calloway, Oldham, and Scott — from October 2008 to July 2009. This exhibit details the important role that fences played in the history and development of the American way of life. Kentuckians will have twelve more opportunities to view Smithsonian exhibits in 2011 and 2012. Back by popular demand, New Harmonies will be available to six more museums, and the new exhibit, Journey Stories, will tour to six sites beginning in 2011. Look for these exhibits at a museum in your neighborhood. The full schedule can be found on our Web site: www.kyhumanities.org. 8 Telling Kentucky’s Story Report to the People 2008-2009 Publications T he Kentucky Humanities Council, Inc. reaches tens of thousands of Kentuckians in every county across the state with our magazines and catalogs.

An independent, nonprofit affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities, the Kentucky Humanities Council is a proud partner of Kentucky’s arts and cultural agencies, but receives no state funding. The Council is governed by a twentythree-member volunteer board of directors and is supported financially by the NEH and private contributions. Since its founding in 1972, the Kentucky Humanities Council has reached all corners of the Commonwealth. All of our programs and services are available to nonprofit community groups and share with them a common goal — reconnecting Kentuckians with Kentucky’s culture, history and tradition. Over the past two years, the Council has sponsored 1,074 humanities programs throughout the state, reaching thousands of Kentuckians. In thirty-seven years of operation, the Kentucky Humanities Council has invested $14 million in public humanities programs. Kentucky Humanities Council, Inc.

An educated, literate community strengthens Kentucky’s workforce. Educated, well-rounded individuals contribute to a stronger workforce and a more desirable location for businesses. The Kentucky Humanities Council works with scholars and educators throughout the state to develop programs with these goals in mind. We have invested $14 million in the Commonwealth’s communities helping them build a stronger Kentucky. Programs sponsored by the Kentucky Humanities Council reach all areas of the Commonwealth and teach a wide array of skills. The Kentucky Humanities Council sponsors programs reaching every county in the state. From Kentucky Chautauqua® and Prime Time Family Reading Time® to our Speakers Bureau and Museum on Main Street, we have programs and services designed to benefit all ages and all education levels. An investment in Kentucky humanities programs is an investment in Kentucky communities. For 38 years, the Kentucky Humanities Council has been telling Kentucky’s stories. Our programs, designed to share Kentucky’s rich heritage, culture, and tradition, have touched the lives of more than 15 million people. We continue to find new and innovative ways to reach our audience, taking programs into classrooms and awarding grants to support the good ideas of community leadership. SINCE 1972, WE HAVE IMPACTED KENTUCKY’S WORKFORCE. The Kentucky Humanities Council welcomes partnerships with Kentucky businesses to strengthen Kentucky communities and build a brighter future.

U.S. POSTAGE PAID PERMIT NO. 51 LEXINGTON, KY Thank You UK! We are thankful to the University of Kentucky for continuing to be the Kentucky Humanities Council’s greatest benefactor. Since our founding in 1972, UK has provided us with office space. All Kentuckians are beneficiaries of the university’s generosity because the extraordinary sum we would have spent on rent and utilities over the past thirty-seven years has instead been invested in humanities programs across the Commonwealth. Since 1995 the beautiful century-old house at 206 East Maxwell Street has been our home. We are grateful to the University of Kentucky, including the many faculty members who have participated in our programs, for its valuable contributions to our mission of Telling Kentucky’s Story.
