Dear Friends of the Kansas Ground Water Association:
As we celebrate our 76th anniversary, it is our hope that you will join us in Mulvane once again to continue supporting KGWA, learn a few new things, and visit with our vendors.
There have been a few changes over the past 12 months, and we appreciate your flexibility and patience as we have addressed these.
Participation remains vital to continue to grow KGWA and speak for our industry.
We look forward to seeing you in January 2024!
