March 2024-- The KRTA meeting was held at First Broad Street United Methodist Church, Kingsport, TN. We welcomed a new member, Delores Richmond.
Our program speaker was Gail Preslar who is the Chair of Family Promise that provides assistance to our homeless community. She spoke about the program. She also gave an update on the Kingsport Book Fair, which she heads up each year to raise funds for Kingsport Public Library. She also spoke about her children's experience in the Kingsport City School system and thanked the teachers for all they did to inspire her children. Ms. Preslar is a retiree of Eastman Chemical Company in Kingsport.
KRTA collected $650 in Food City gift cards for the Kingsport City Schools Homeless Education program.
KRTA Quarterly Meeting
December 1, 2023
Broad Street United Methodist Church
The John Adams Choir was transported from school on a KCS school bus with the KRTA sponsorship of $100 approved by the KTRA Executive Board. The choir is made up of fourth and fifth graders. The goal of the group is
to teach them to sing. The Director is Carol Makowski. On the piano was Carolyn McPherson. The performance was delightful and well done. Many thanks to the many people who were involved in making this performance happen even the bus driver. It was a delightful blessing to our KRTA members. Thanks to all involved.
