LG&E's Project Warm

This past Saturday, the McConnell Scholars bundled up to tackle the needs of low income, elderly, and disabled people in the Louisville community. The McConnell Scholars paired up with LG&E to help insulate homes and reduce energy costs. Twenty four scholars divided into six groups to insulate twelve homes. It is amazing what a blessing a group of four people can be with some clear tape, thin plastic, and a pair of scissors.

My group, consisting of Michael Zeller, Trisha Maclin, Hunter Davis, and me, had the opportunity to speak with one of our clients, who had come here from Jamaica several years ago. She had interesting stories to share in between fixing insulation on 10 foot tall windows. Life is a constant learning experience, whether you are sitting in a lecture by Dr. Barbara Perry, insulating homes of the less fortunate, or listening to Senator Scott Brown. Glean wisdom where you can.

Up next: Senator Scott Brown visits the University of Louisville.
