A busy Saturday with two UniServ District Representative Assemblies at Konza and Capital. I appreciate the questions and discussion held today to ensure have a voice in their union.

(I was so busy I forgot to take pictures, again!)

During my weekend travels, I passed through St. Paul, Kansas. Before this location was known as St. Paul, this land was the forced relocation for the Osage Nation from their land, now known as Arkansas, Missouri, Kansas, and Oklahoma, in 1825. 1/6

I truly enjoyed being with the KNEA Southeast UniServ members for their Representative Assembly this morning and early afternoon.

A huge thanks to all the workers laboring to clear the roads.

When we advocate, we can make a change!

From NEA:
We did it!!!

Together, we finally repealed GPO& WEP, the unfair penalties that denied retired educators, first responders, and other public service workers their full Social Security benefits.

Thank you to Capital UniServ for inviting me to your Holiday Party on Friday the 13, 2024! I had such a great time I forgot to take any pictures!

It was great to be in Cottonwood UniServ today in Hays, Kansas for their SouperPac event! We heard from elected officials the importance of bipartisanship on public education-related issues, great soup, and community building!

All is calm; all is merry; all is bright with a side of Turkey and mashed potatoes!

Hang in there as we approach Fall Break!
