Thank you to our Spread the Love Sponsors:
Amy Scarlott, Brokered by Realty eXp Realty
Hey Everyone! This is Amy Scarlott, and I am so excited to be a part of spreading love throughout our community this week! If you don’t know me already, I am sort of like cupid, but instead of matching people with their true love I match people with homes, which is sort of the same thing, right? Well, as I go into my 5 year anniversary in this career, I can truly say that I am absolutely in love with helping our community buy and sell Real Estate. My business is fueled by love and support from my clients who continuously refer me to their friends and family. Referrals are the highest compliment in my book. It says, I trust you to take care of the people I love most, as they make one of the biggest purchases of their lives.. and that makes us REALTORS feel so loved, so thank you for helping me continue to do what I love to do. ❤
Send me a message to set a date to discuss your 2022 Real Estate goals!
Happy Valentine's Day Nelson County!
Love always, Amy
2021 REALTOR of the Year

Tawigawa Corporation America
“Takigawa has a strong legacy of both homegrown community service and global responsibility. With facilities in Japan, Vietnam and Bardstown, Kentucky, we are proud to take a meaningful, supporting role in each respective community.
Here in Bardstown, we’re a proud member of Bardstown Nelson Chamber of Commerce. We are active participants; in everything from Bardstown annual Christmas Parade to donating gifts to Cooper Trail Senior Living. Takigawa’s endless love for our community and pets are reflected in our ongoing donations to various groups in the area.
Our love of community goes back to the company’s founding in 1907, as a maker of music instruments! We switched gears in 1951 (over 70 years ago), innovating polyethylene tubes, before moving into laminates, films and then advanced packaging. Much has changed, but one thing hasn’t. Our commitment to quality in everything we do, from our products to supporting the people that make up our community. Today Takigawa is an acknowledged leader in flexible packaging. Our Bardstown facility makes world-class flexible packaging for pet foods and other products, from vitamins and coffee to cosmetics.”

The Bardstown-Nelson County Chamber of Commerce would like to recognize Abound Credit Union as the Featured Distinguished Member of the Month.
Abound Credit Union is a leader in Financial Education.
Founded 70 years ago by ten Kentuckians, the Credit Union has grown up with the communities we serve. With 18 locations and more than 115,000 Members, it’s easy to see how Abound makes more possible.
We’re proud of our investments in military and community health. The military is our backbone, so providing resources to these men and women will always help us stand strong. We’ve provided a long-term $1.5 Million investment to prove our continued support for our military families, that will add primary care providers, patient services and connect military families and all patients to community resources. This investment even offers financial services and education, with everything housed in one clinic.
Over the years, Abound and its Members has donated more than $325,000 to USA Cares, supporting their mission to provide financial and advocacy assistance to post-9/11 active-duty U.S. military service personnel, veterans and their families. This money has directly helped 100 military families pay utility bills, buy food and fuel and other housing costs.
It’s our unwavering belief that together, we can do more.
