A new program has been launched by the Estill Development Alliance to help our community show its appreciation to those who deserve “a pat on the back.”  The mission of the Honorable Order of Estill County Captains is to recognize those who uphold the honor and traditions of Irvine, Ravenna, and Estill County.  Invitation to the ranks of the Order will be made to individuals who have gone to great lengths to serve Estill County or its people and to individuals who are Estill Countians by birth, residence, or occupation who have accomplished some great individual feat worthy of recognition.  Inductees will receive a Captain’s Patch, lapel pin and certificate and be featured on the Captain’s website.

The Honorable Order of Estill County Captains was born from a need identified during the 2009 community development project called EC2 – Planning 2day for Estill County’s 2morrow. Several of the EC2 participants realized that Estill County does not have enough opportunities to recognize those who give back to the community. With this in mind, the Captains were born.  Nominations may be made by anyone via the website www.EstillCaptains.org or by contacting the office of the EDA (606-723-2450), a nonprofit community and economic development organization that oversees the Honorable Order.

Participants will be charged with forming and undertaking community projects and have access to a pool of funds to make them happen.  The program includes two overnight trips and four day-long sessions between February and June.  All meals and accommodations will be included.  Tuition is $200.00, which may be paid by participants or a sponsor/employer.  A limited number of scholarships are available, so all interested people are encouraged to apply.

LEC is meant for those who want to be more involved in improving our community.  Class size is limited and applications are due February 10. Interested parties should contact the Chamber office at 723-2450 or crawford@irvineonline.net with questions or to receive an application.  LEC is brought to you through a partnership between Estill Development Alliance and the Brushy Fork Institute with funding from the Appalachian Regional Commission.
