After more than three decades of serving the Hays Recreation Commission and our community, Roger's retirement is almost here.
From pools to races, ballfields to special events, and countless community projects, Roger has been a part of many memories over the years.
Now we'd like to collect a few more.
If Roger has made an impact on your life, family, organization, or career, please take a moment to leave a message, share a memory, or upload a photo to his retirement Kudoboard.
👉 https://www.kudoboard.com/boards/WqRavsbK
We will be compiling the messages into a special presentation for Roger's retirement reception on Friday, so please submit your message by Thursday afternoon at 2pm.
Thank you for helping us celebrate a career dedicated to recreation and the Hays community. ❤️
