"Membership in The Shelby Society is a great way to connect with others who share the unique bond of each having an ancestor who was governor of the Commonwealth of Kentucky. It is also satisfying to use this vehicle to give back to the state in the name of those former governors."
John Y. Brown III
"The Shelby Society provides a common and enjoyable tie with descendants of other governors"
