On Friday, October 11 the Junction City Association of Retired School Personnel met at the Zion United Church of Christ.
At each of their meetings, there is a special project designated. This month the project was to provide support for the Geary County Food Pantry with non-perishable food items or a monetary donation and/or a donation to the organization’s scholarships.
The program was provided by Lisa Hatt with the Court Appointed Special Advocates (C.A.S.A.) office and Joe and Sheila Markley from the C.L. Hoover Opera House.
A string quartet from the Junction City High School Chamber Orchestra directed by Cesar Martinez-Reyes, performed musical selections for the retired educators. Mr. Martinez-Reyes also played an oboe solo with the group and a duet with Dr. Ferrell Miller who played the accordion.
The next meeting of JCARSP will be on December 13 at noon. Membership is open to any retired school employee. The point of contact may be reached at [email protected].
