A big THANK YOU!

The Emporia Office would like to give a Shout Out to Troop 30050 from EMS/EHS, with volunteers Glenda Richey and Paula Roper, for spending a Friday night cleaning and organizing the craft room. They did an amazing job and the staff is extremely grateful. Hopefully, volunteers will now be able to find items more efficiently and the room will be even more useful.
