We invite all Sun City
residents that have any connection to Kansas to attend a gathering twice a year. If you have lived
in Kansas, attended a school in Kansas, were stationed at a Kansas military base or have family
member that lived in Kansas, we welcome you to come join us for good food and fellowship.
The event usually happens in
the Spring and the Fall. It is hosted by various former Kansasans that plan the event and do the
set up and plan the activity. The last few have been held at the Pavilion in Sun City but can be
held in various locations. A donation is usally requested to defray the cost of renting the
pavilion and paper products used for the event.
This year in the Spring we
met for a pot luck dinner in April. Everyone was asked to bring an dish to share and a $2.00
donation. We usually have between 80 and 100 people attend. We had a Find the Kansas game in which
guests had to find a person that met each question. Example for one was to find a person who lived
their whole life in Kansas prior to moving to Sun City. The people who found the most Kansasan that
met the questions won fun Kansas products such as Kansas wine, Kansas grape juice, Kansas apple
cider syrup, Kansas post cards and a Sunflower mug.
If you have any questions
about the next meeting of the group or questions about locating other former Kansas residents
please
contact Judy Miller 864-1557 or email
kjmiller1@cox.net.
