But EMTC is not resting on its laurels. This year’s season will kick off with an Open House and annual members meeting on Thursday, Apr. 28, at 7 p.m., in the Great Bend Borough Building, located behind the Methodist Church in Great Bend.
At the meeting, the 2010 season will be reviewed and plans for the 2011 season will be announced.
