Our purpose is to help teach students what it is to be an entrepreneur, and to help them to discover Kentucky s proud history and tradition of innovation and inventiveness. The first twenty teachers who register to participate will receive a free classroom set of ten Clark s Kentucky Almanac and Book of Facts (Premier Edition) plus a multimedia Kentucky Almanac CD-ROM for the classroom or school library. Students will use the Kentucky Almanac to research community history; they will find it to be an excellent resource for not only this but other projects as well. The Kentucky Almanacs make a valuable addition to library and classroom reference materials. Please join us in the first national celebration of Entrepreneurship Week! Contact me with any questions. I look forward to hearing back from you soon. Sincerely, Amanda Harris Marketing Specialist 859.233.7623 800.944.3995 Fax 859.233.7421 aharris@theclarkgroupinfo.com P.S.
