KSHE Update - April 2021

President's Message

By Martin Wheatley, President

Greetings everyone. We have made it through the first quarter of 2021, and things are looking pretty great. The pandemic seems to have turned a corner and is beginning to slow down. The vaccine seems to be working as we all hoped it would. I hope our new president is right and we can have a normal 4th of July celebration this year.
