As quoted by Mary Madden, Kansas 150 Statewide Coordinator, "We believe the KS150.org Website will be the key to success for the Kansas Sesquicentennial Commemoration. It will allow all people, organizations, and communities across Kansas to share their resources, programs, projects, and events with others thereby embracing our goal to make Kansas150 a true grassroots celebration of statehood."
The Kansas 150 Website was made possible through a grant from the Information Network of Kansas and developed by Kansas.gov. “INK is pleased to support the Kansas 150 Website and look forward to seeing communities connect online to celebrate the sesquicentennial commemoration of Kansas,” stated Jim Hollingsworth, executive director for the Information Network of Kansas.
KS150.org offers a variety of ways to get involved to commemorate the anniversary of statehood:
• View and contribute to a Calendar of Events
• Register and search for programs/services such as storyteller, music, arts & crafts, food, etc.
• Access the marketing toolkit for the KS150 logo, sample news releases and 150+ event ideas
