The July breakfast will be sponsored by Hospice of Western Kentucky.  The guest speaker will be Mr. Bill Samuels of Maker's Mark.

Maker's Mark Chairman Emeritus Bill Samuels, Jr. has been called a maverick, a giant in the distillery business, a marketing genius, a visionary and the best friend the Kentucky bourbon industry has ever had. But he prefers another label: eyewitness. Bill has personally seen it all - the creation of the premium bourbon category and the resurrection of the entire industry. That first hand perspective has given Bill what many recognize as the most comprehensive view of the business today.

It might be the day before July 4th, but we promise you won't want to miss out on hearing Mr. Samuels. He is going to speak about the bourbon industry and its effect on Kentucky's economy, what bourbon could mean to Owensboro and the importance of branding... which Maker's Mark is known for, along with their bourbon (of course).
