Metro Council Newsroom. "District 11, Ninth and O Baptist Church, MSD and Utility Companies                                 Partner to Remove Graffiti - 2007 - LouisvilleKy.gov  N.p., 16 Oct. 2007. Web. 19 June 2011.

IN 2007, Ninth and O undertook a community service project with support from Metro Councilmen Kevin Kramer to help clean up graffiti in district 11. They assisted local utilities such as MSD and ATT with the project, “I was pleased when Ninth and O approached us with a desire to help out in the district and appreciate the utility companies and MSD stepping up as well. Graffiti has become a significant concern in District 11, this partnership will provide us with the tools to address this problem more efficiently,” Said Kevin Kramer, District 11 Councilman. During my research coming across this helped me understand how dedicated they were to our community. Painting over graffiti is not an easy job and with the amount that was there it took quite a few volunteers to complete the job and keep it completed. This idea perfectly fit with what I was looking for in a church, almost reminding me of my Boy Scout days doing service learning projects. The more I can learn about what has been done in the past will help me know what to expect for the future, and what to look for. What needs to be researched now is how we can go further and continue to help our community. The current summer service project “honoring hero’s” does just that, and I am proud to be a   part of that project.
