1990 Kansas PRIDE Program Annual Report
It is a pleasure to forward to you the enclosed copy of
the 1990 Annual Report of the Kansas PRIDE Program. The
Kansas PRIDE Program is one of the most cost-effective
community improvement programs in the State of Kansas .
The PRIDE Program is a primary community improvement
tool for small and rural communities. PRIDE lays the
cornerstone for economic development by building
cohesiveness, accomplishments, civic spirit, and unity to
achieve common goals.
Over 400 communities have joined PRIDE since it was
formed in 1970 . As the Annual Report illustrates, last year
PRIDE assisted almost 100 communities in initiating programs.
and organization of their resources with concrete results.
What makes PRIDE so successful is its public-private
partnership. The Department of Commerce and the Cooperative
Extension Service provide technical assistance. Thirty-one
corporate and association sponsors provided over $20,000 in
1990 for activities . Hundreds of local volunteers donated
thousands of hours for local PRIDE groups .
For more information, contact Beverly Wilhelm, the
State PRIDE Coordinator, at (913) 296-3485.
