The recently-returned DePaul Hendrix — co-founder of The Cadiz Informer — announced a coming celebration of a Cadiz native during Monday night’s Trigg County Fiscal Court meeting.
Set for 7 PM June 28 at the Lexie Bush Convention Center, News Channel 5’s retired Tuwanda Coleman-Shaw will be honored for her “outstanding professional achievements and contributions” to journalism, west Kentucky and northwest Tennessee.
A marketer and promoter, he said his organization is seeking sponsorship for the event.
Tables of six will be $180 for family & friends, $240 for corporate. Bronze is valued at $200-$249, and will provide a ¼ page logo/banner ad. Silver is $250-$499, for a ½ page logo/banner ad. And gold is $500, for a full page logo/banner ad.
For corporate advertisements, it’s $50 for a quarter page, $100 for a half page and $200 for the full page.
For family & friends advertisements, it’s $25 for a quarter page, $50 for a half page, and $100 for a full page.
And a $5 donation will get one on a Patreon list.
Sponsorship inquiries, as well as confirmation of participation, should come through cadizinformer@gmail.com, by phone to Hendrix at (270) 291-2127 or by mail at PO Box 982, Cadiz, KY, 42211.
Guest speakers are still being finalized, but Hendrix confirmed that News Channel 5’s Amy Watson, local physician Dr. Chester L. Crump and Genesis Express President George Radford are among the slate.
Her four-decade career took her through many facets, but her last stop was long lived as anchor for News Channel 5’s “Talk of the Town.”
