I really liked these videos. — Good ideas.
In fact, I think I emailed something on the Kansas Sampler Foundation to my mayor, city manager & local “economic development” person. That’s how much I liked these ideas.
Marci is super sharp, and the Foundation is changing the face of rural Kansas. I’m a huge fan now!
