How did you first get started on the construction career path? For many in the area it was through a technical training program such as the one at Southside Technical Center. On February 18th we’ll be visiting Southside’s construction classrooms to learn more about their curriculum and their mission to improve students’ exposure to the skilled trades. Southside is located at 1800 Harrodsburg Road in Lexington.
Not familiar with Southside?
Southside offers technical training to high school students enrolled in the Fayette, Jessamine, Scott and Woodford County public school systems. Students spend half of their school day at their home school and the other half at Southside and can earn up to four elective credits in each program area per school year. After completing one year, students may enroll in a technical center program for a second year of advanced training. Construction offerings include carpentry, electricity, masonry, computer drafting, and welding. In addition, eight-graders from Fayette County middle schools can enroll in a technical academy that follows a pre-engineering curriculum. Once a student has achieved a level of acceptable work in a technical program, he/she may have an opportunity to participate in the co-operative work program. Acceptable standards of conduct, attendance, classroom work, and practical work are required for continuous enrollment. Upon completion of their high school technical program, students are encouraged to complete their area of training at Bluegrass Community and Technical College or other post-secondary educational institutions.
We will be joined by one of Region 4’s Director Candidate, Candy Riley, from the Cincinnati NAWIC Chapter. Let’s hear what Candy has planned for Region 4 if she is elected at Forum! Candy is also our Region’s Foremost Leader for 2009. You don’t want to miss the opportunity to meet & talk with this region leader!!

Mother Nature 1 – Block Kids 0. However, we are only temporarily at that score. The Bluegrass
Chapter is going to be like the Cats and WIN! Chairperson Susan Cox has successfully rescheduled the Block Kids event with the Girl’s Scouts for February 20th. So if you had a conflict with your schedule the first time you now have another chance to join in. Susan and her committee have done all the preliminary work. On Saturday afternoon watching the girls create their vision of a construction project with the Lego’s and accessories will be FUN for us. E-mail or give Susan a call to let her know you are coming so she can add you to her list to help in the different areas.
Laura’s Girls Can Too is also on Saturday the 20th but that takes place from 10:00 to noon. With the location of the BCTC on Leestown Rd. we can easily head to Midway from there and be a part of both events. Hey what else is there to do on a cold winter day in Kentucky? If you say you need to stay home and clean call me. I’ll give you the name and number of a
reliable trustworthy lady who does housecleaning for a very reasonable fee so you can take the day off and be with your NAWIC friends.
Congratulations to Boo Blakey and Kim Hellmueller who were nominated and selected as New Leader and 4-Most Leader for our chapter. Both ladies as well as all of those who were nominated are very deserving of this award. Everyone “thinks” their chapter is the best but I KNOW we have the best of the best. These ladies will be entered in the regional competition. Let’s keep our fingers crossed they will be recognized on a higher level as well. Since our year began October 1st, 2009 we have the honor of counting four new members, Grace Snow, Jessica Walker, Pam McKinney, and Bethany Ridiman into that best. This brings us to an official total of 30 members. We had several great guests with us at the January meeting and we hope they and others will join us too. Send them a note encouraging them to come in February. Chairperson Christine Parsons has been working hard to meet that goal of 50. On behalf of everyone I would again like to say a big THANK YOU to Melanie Roederer
and Perspectives for hosting us for last month’s meeting.
What I think is the best of the best about our chapter is so many people get involved. For example fairly new member Grace Northcutt is on the board, volunteered to start the revamping of our brochure and chairing W.I.C. Week all since joining us in March of 2009. She hasn’t even had her first year anniversary with us. The reason I wanted to specifically mention Grace’s efforts is because right around the corner is Women in Construction week. She has been brainstorming and has lots of FUN in store. In the newsletter you will find more details. Make sure to mark your calendar and join in the good time.
Mary Gail Engle and Stacia Sharff have called for our 2nd Ms. Fix-It committee meeting to be held at Mason Structure’s office on Wednesday 2/10 at 5:30. Notice again how we seem to keep things in the even numbers. Bock Kids 02/20/10, Ms Fix-It committee meeting 02/10/10 but as equally as important is our general membership meeting Thursday 2/18/10. The date doesn’t end in a zero but it’s still an even number! See you then if not sooner at the Ms. Fix-It committee meeting. Elaine

Susan Cox 5 years
The Bluegrass Chapter is planning to hold our 1st annual Block Kids event on Saturday, February 20, 2010 at the Midway Women's Club from 1-3pm. So far we have had tremendous success in sponsorships – thank you to all who have donated so far!! Block Kids chair is Susan Cox; with a committee of Elaine Boyd, Kim Hellmueller & Stacia Sharff. We will need lots of helping hands during the event, so please consider volunteering on February 20th!
Thursday, March 18, 2010 – Dispute Resolution
Ever find yourself amidst the world’s largest game of “he said…she said?” How often do you stare at the ceiling instead of sleeping peacefully replaying the heated discussion you had earlier with an employee? Has the economy put you in a tight spot as you find no alternative but legal action to collect monies owed to you? On March 18th you’ll have the chance to hear from industry experts such as Chauncey Davis, Vice President of the American Arbitration Association about dispute resolution tips. In addition, you’ll have the opportunity to learn priceless communication tactics to help you turn the time you spend arguing into time you spend making your business a success.
Thursday, April 15, 2010 – Everything Old Is New Again
If you’re a Fayette County resident or employed in Fayette County you may often wonder where all your school tax funds go. While it is used in many other ways a portion funds the construction processes of the school district. On April 15th, you’ll have the opportunity to learn a bit about the process of a school addition and renovation from the beginning to the end. Hear from Fayette County District personnel how the decision to build new or renovate is made. Learn from Ross Tarrant Architects the elements of design involved in the Arlington Elementary project. Enjoy an educational site tour with WS Construction, project General Contractor to both see and hear how it all comes together. Discuss project details with fellow NAWIC members whose companies have been actively involved in the project through subcontract agreements, services, and material supply. At the end of the night you’ll be bragging about how much fun you had learning at elementary school…only this time there won’t be recess or crayons involved!

The program is free and open to the public will take place on BCTC Leestown Campus, 164 Opportunity Way in Lexington on the second Saturday of each month from 10:00 a.m.-12:00 p.m. Projects and take home kits are made available to the girls through a grant from the American Association of University Women. Calling all NAWIC volunteers!! Please let Laura Lynch know if you are able to participate in this Spring's Girls Can Too project. Her schedule will fill up fast; now is the time to share your knowledge with girls in the community so they can choose a career in construction! You can contact Laura at [email protected]

Happy Hour
Now you have all the details, let me explain what they mean:
Theme: Each day the morning reflections, awards, prizes and possible activity will revolve around a common theme. These ideas came from our very own NAWIC members last autumn as I searched for ideas to put in the new brochure. These themes embody who we are and what makes us AMAZING year round – not just WIC Week!
Color: I like color. I also find that colors unite people. Have you ever seen an entire basketball arena in UK Blue? It’s a pretty powerful sight! Well, we may not be able to be together all week long, but through a red pair of earrings on Tuesday and a violet sweater on Friday, we can be a little more connected. Plus, it’s just happy!
Awards: Look to your left. Look to your right. The women around you are INCREDIBLE and they deserve some major props. Although each of us displays the characteristic themes of the week, some women just seem to naturally achieve gold level status and then draw these qualities out of others. I need you to help me identify the outstanding ladies!
Please vote for up to 3 people for each award listed and e-mail it to [email protected] by February 28th. Don’t worry, I’ll send an e-mail to remind you. J
Inspirations: We rely on each other so often for support in our daily lives. I would like your inspirational contributions for a fantastic prize I’m working on. I’m looking for pictures, stories, quotes, or anecdotes that make you smile. They can be true or internet scavenged, uplifting, heartwarming, thought provoking, or wet-your-pants funny. I want them all and trust me, you want me to have them too! Again, e-mail to [email protected].
Prizes: Let’s just say I’ve had a lot of fun and you will love this year’s prizes. How do you get the prizes? By sending me nominations and inspirations! Your name goes in the hat for every award you nominate for (up to 5) and for every inspiration you send (up to 3). I’ll put all the names in a hat at the start of WIC Week and start drawing to win our super fun and mildly bizarre prizes!

Speakers & Workshops
THE SIX AGES OF WOMAN A One-Woman Comedy Show about Love,
Marriage, Kids, Aging & Other Junk Like That Pull up a chair and eavesdrop on Vicki’s phone conversations with her best friend, Madge. Although you never see Vicki’s hus-band, children, or best friend, by the end of the hour, you’ll know them all quite intimately. Watch time pass before your eyes as Vicki changes from starry-eyed teenager discovering love, to newly-wed bride full of romantic dreams for her future, to expec-
tant mother anticipating the joys of parenthood, to frenzied housewife with over-active toddlers, to menopausal woman reentering the workforce, to grandmother beginning her retirement years. You will likely see a part of yourself during some phase of Vicki’s meta-morphosis; and you will, no doubt, laugh at yourself, while doing so.
Presented by Mary Faktor. Ms Faktor is a multi-talented Professional Speaker, Certified Self Esteem / Life Balance Facilitator, a certified REIKI Energy Practitioner, a member of the Screen Actors Guild, a graduate of Second City of Chicago. She has appeared in award winning films, and on PBS.
