Announcements and Events

Thanks to Everyone who attended BLOCK AID: A RALLY AND FUNDRAISER TO SAVE OUR BLOCK

A warm thanks to everyone for attending Block-Aid: A Rally and Fundraiser to save our block. Well over 100 people attended the night of events at the Limestone Club and Buster's. Preserve Lexington was able to raise $3,500 with a single $1,000 donation coming from an anonymous donor. This money will supplement our legal fund and the costs associated with hiring a structural engineer to assess the buildings on the block.

Special thanks also to those who made this event possible:

  • The Preserve Lexington volunteers who organized the event
  • The Swells and Between Clark and Hilldale for performing at the Limestone Club
  • Buster's for helping host the event and donating the admission for the night
  • The Moxie's for performing at Buster's
  • Paul O'Neil for lining up the bands for the night
  • Cricket Press for their donation of vintage concert posters to our silent auction
  • Johnny Lackey for designing the event poster
  • Jim Brown of the Limestone Club for use of the venue
