Dear editor,
We are writing to recommend and endorse Vicki Curry for a position on the Board of Trustees of Allen Community College.
Vicki is a native of Allen County, as well as a graduate of then Allen County Community College. She later became an employee of the college for 27 years. Vickis children also attended ACC.
I first met Vicki when she was a student in my class at ACCC. I also came to know her during the years of her employment. In addition, she and her husband are neighbors of ours in rural Allen County.
We believe Vicki has a unique knowledge of the college, its inner workings, and its long record of service to this community, county and state. Vicki also is a visionary with many ideas that will absolutely benefit the growth and continued service to Iola and Allen County.
Please support Vicki Curry in this goal that she is pursuing. That goal is a continued growth and service to the citizens of Iola, Allen County and beyond.
Van Thompson and
Ellen Thompson,
Iola, Kan.
Dear editor,
I would be willing to serve as a city council member in Ward 2. If you would like to have another option for a write-in candidate, write in Carl Slaugh.
We have a great community and I would be happy to work towards preserving our infrastructure and making improvements as we have the financial means and public will.
Thanks,
Carl Slaugh,
Iola, Kan
Dear editor,
The election for Allen Community College trustees is Tuesday, Nov. 5.
There is one candidate who has 27 years of experience working at Allen that makes her the best choice. That candidate is Vicki Curry.
Those 27 years of experience have provided Vicki with the knowledge of the policies and procedures at Allen, in addition to the everyday operations of the college.
Over the course of her employment, she saw immense growth of the college through not only on-campus students, but the addition of online and branch campus enrollment.
Having witnessed what worked and what didnt work as the college grew, she would be an asset to the board when future issues may arise.
Please put your faith in Vicki Curry as an Allen Community College Board of Trustees member when you go to the polls next Tuesday.
Deborah Taiclet,
Iola, Kan.
