Dear Supporters,

It is with a heavy heart that we share an important update regarding Ozawkie Connections. After much consideration, we have made the difficult decision to dissolve the organization. The lack of members has made it increasingly challenging to sustain our efforts and fulfill our mission effectively.

We want to emphasize that this decision was not influenced by the overwhelming challenges faced by the mayor or past and present city council members. Our decision is solely based on the realities of maintaining the organization under current circumstances.

We would like to extend a special thank you to City Council members Chris Feuerborn, Laci Heller as well as city clerk Mazi Barnes, for their active efforts in helping make sure our events were able to happen. Additionally, we are deeply grateful to Kansas Comminity Empowerment for their support and the resources they have provided us through the years.

We are deeply grateful for the support, participation, and passion you’ve shown over the years. Ozawkie Connections cherish the memories we’ve built together.

Thank you for being a part of this journey with us.

With gratitude,

Dana Gettel
President
Ozawkie Connections

We had a great time as I think you all did too!! 
Here’s some awesome pictures. We just missed it being a full moon, however it was still bright and made an awesome show for us.
