Every year the A.M.E.N. House, a Scott County Kentucky charitable organization that serves over 400 families a month, give baskets containing "Fixin's for a Thanksgiving Meal" to several needy families. This year with the poor economy they have a greater need but fewer donations. They would like to hand out 150 baskets but at this point they only have the donations for about 50. The cost of each basket is between $20 to $25.
A recent Georgetown Chamber of Commerce event drew in funding for quite a few addtional baskets but NOT ENOUGH to meet the needs of the underprivileged in Scott County.
If you can help, by donating personally or collect food or donations from co-workers, please DO!
YOUR $25.00 bill (OK, you can write a check) wil provide one family with a decent Thanksgiving Meal!
The following is a list of items each basket will contain:
Any items can be dropped off at the A.M.E.N. House at 319 E. Main Street, Georgetown, KY between the hours of 9am to noon, Monday through Friday.
If you would like to send a check, please make it out to A.M.E.N. House and write "Thanksgiving Basket" in the memo section. The mailing address is:

Thank you very much for such a detailed report. I had no idea that when we asked you to conduct our home inspection that you would provide so much information. I appreciate the check list for home maintenance. This is particularly helpful because we have never owned a home prior to our townhome. I will keep the list handy and refer to it often so that we can take good care of our property. Thank you again for the education and inspection.
Robyn, Lexington, KY B4 U Close Home Inspection Client (20060926A)
I have had time to look over the report on the home inspection from last Thursday. I feel like you have done an excellent job. Sure brings a lot of things to light that the average person wouldn't know to look for. Xxxxx, my Son In Law was really impressed.
Ken, Harrodsburg, KY B4 U Close Home Inspection Client (20060921B)
Thank You for the outstanding job you did on the inspection. We bought and sold 9 houses and this was the only inspection that was ever done properly. It was helpful and we will use it to do the repairs with a system, instead of the guess work we usually do. Thanks again
Mike & Barbara, Stamping Ground, KY B4 U Close Home Inspection Clients (20050603)
Hello again. You inspected our home earlier this year at (address deleted), Mount Sterling and did an excellent job. Jennifer and I have since purchased a different home and actually got a great price on it - so much so that it was an offer we did not want to turn down. However, we do want an inspection done on the home. It is in Mount Sterling also and we would like to schedule an inspection. Please give me a call anytime. If possible, we would like to have the inspection done as soon as possible.
Matt & Jennifer, Mount Sterling, KY B4 U Close Home Inspection Clients (20041125)
I just wanted to extend our thanks to you for such a wonderful job. We truly appreciated the thoroughness of the home inspection and we feel much better. Hopefully, in 5 years when we sell this house we will meet again.
Chris & Rebecca, Danville, KY B4 U Close Home Inspection Clients (20050607A)
We will definitely be recommending you to family and friends who may need your services. Have a good day!
Joy and Robbie, Winchester, KY B4 U Close Home Inspection Clients (20050603B)
Thank you very much for performing the home inspection. I appreciate the time that was taken on all aspects of the inspection. Also, you were very helpful with the questions I had. I will be sure to refer your services to anyone I know that might be interested. This was my first home inspection, so I do not know how one typically should go, however I cannot imagine having a better experience.
Billy, Stamping Ground, KY B4 U Close Home Inspection Clients (20041126)
Thank you very much for this information. This is truly excellent customer service on your part. Thank you very much for your thorough inspection and your patience...
Michelle & Larry, Sadieville, KY B4 U Close Home Inspection Clients (20041030)
Thank you for sending the report. The support pages are great - a big help in anticipating costs, and the aerial photo is wonderful. Best wishes for a Happy New Year. I cannot express to you my appreciation for your diligence, professionalism, honesty and help over the past week. It has made a great difference to me.
Carol, Seattle, WA B4 U Close Home Inspection Clients (20041227)
Thanks very much for the documentation from the inspection last Wednesday. And for the aerial photo as well (and here I thought it was going to be a picture from the roof!)
