Somerset mayor, Republican gubernatorial candidate to speak at this month’s SEKY chamber luncheon

Somerset Mayor and Republican gubernatorial candidate Alan Keck will be the keynote speaker for the Southern Kentucky Chamber of Commerce Monthly Membership Luncheon, which is scheduled for Thursday, March 9.

The luncheon will take place starting at 11:45 a.m. at The Corbin Center, which is located at 222 Corbin Center Drive.

During a recent address to the Corbin Rotary Club, Keck noted that he knows he is the underdog in the governor’s race, but he is also not letting that stop him from spreading his message and vision for the future of the commonwealth.

This month’s luncheon is sponsored by the Alzheimer’s Association.

More than five million Americans and 75,000 Kentuckians are living with Alzheimer’s. Studies show that one in three seniors will die of Alzheimer’s or another dementia, which is more deaths that breast cancer and prostate cancer combined.

There are 16 million Americans providing care for people with Alzheimer’s or other dementias.

Catering will be provided by Old Town Grill.

There is a $14 charge for the luncheon.

You can also register for the luncheon by e-mailing Stephanie Giles Hussey at stephanie@wearesouthernkentucky.com, or by calling (606) 528-6390.
