- Skylar Hanson with Bethany Home in Lindsborg

- Taylor Rodriguez with Good Samaritan Society in Ellsworth
- Larry Nichols with Bethany Home in Lindsborg
- Laura Petersburg with Wichita Presbyterian Manor
- Priscila Salinas with Villa St. Francis in Olathe

The ASTRA Board and staff would like to thank all of the generous individuals and organizations that gave money to make this possible. Our program continues to grow and we are thrilled to be part of a community of donors to advance the education of individuals in aging services. Special thanks goes to Central National Bank for their generous donation this year.
Congrats to all of the recipients!
