St. Joseph celebrates STARS
Nearly 300 loyal supporters of the Saint Joseph Hospital Foundation enjoyed an evening of dining, dancing, live auction and entertainment provided by Superfecta at the 23rd Annual Evening with the STARS (Saint Joseph Associates for Renowned Service) Saturday, Nov. 12, at the Embassy Suites.
The Saint Joseph Hospital Foundation, along with the STARS Committee and Ken D. Haynes, President of Saint Joseph Hospital, Saint Joseph East and Saint Joseph- Jessamine RJ Corman Ambulatory Center, were proud to honor nurses’ choice award winners: William R. Banks, M.D., Ph.D., physician of the year at Saint Joseph Hospital; Gary M. Morlier, M.D., physician of the year at Saint Joseph East; and Mrs. Joan H. Weber, outstanding community volunteer.
The Lexington Clinic was the presenting sponsor with proceeds from the black-tie optional event that benefits the foundation’s mission and outreach programs that build healthier communities.
“Each year, the committee strives to exceed the previous year’s goal and this year is no exception,” STARS president Jane Warner said. “Philanthropic partnerships with the community allow Saint Joseph to continue its ministry and mission begun by the Sisters of Charity Nazareth more than 130 years ago. We work hard to ensure that Saint Joseph patients and families receive the highest quality of care possible for mind, body and soul. Special thanks to my committee members: Sally Blake, Leslie Fannin, Helen O. Hamilton, Sara Haynes, Anne E. Hoskins, Tracy Kostelic, Kathy Sartini, Alice Stewart-Kain, Marilyn Todd and Teresa Wallen.”
“The STARS Committee really put together another successful fundraising event this year,” she added. “The STARS have hosted this annual gala since 1989 and have raised almost $900,000 over the last 23 years.”
LBAR announces $66.2 million in Jessamine County real-estate sales
Residential real-estate sales by members of the Lexington-Bluegrass Association of Realtors (LBAR) positively impacted the Jessamine County economy as of Sept. 30 with 377 reported sales totaling $66,198,292. Sales continue to be a driving force in the Jessamine County economy when considering the multiplier effect on the area of buyers and sellers who purchase appliances, carpet, flooring, landscaping, etc. in response to their transaction needs.
Residential sales increased 56 percent in September 2011 vs. September 2010, rising from 27 sales reports to 42. The median sales price remained stable during the same time period, decreasing just 4 percent to $122,275. Months of inventory decreased 38 percent to 11.4 months. This decrease is a positive indicator; a balanced market contains five to six months of inventory. Pending sales increased 53 percent from 36 to 55 pending sales reported.
Single-family residential sales increased 2 percent during the year-to-date 2011, rising from 370 reported sales in 2010 to 377 in 2011. The median sales price decreased 7 percent to $125,000 during the year-to-date 2011 in Jessamine County.
