So much happened in one year!
Oh my goodness, can you believe all that happened in a single year in Shawnee? We are so thankful to the members of Say YES Shawnee who have engaged in discussions in our Facebook group and volunteered in all sorts of ways through 2023. Now that a new year is upon us, we have a lot to think about. How do we build on this strong year? What will be important in Shawnee in 2024? How can we continue to grow this coalition of people who are excited about bringing out the best in our community?
As we have said before, we are looking for volunteers who want to help take notes of city council and other important city events in 2024, so if you are interested please reach out to us on the feedback page or the Facebook page.
