Keweenaw Krayons supporters invited to meet Aug. 5 in Mohawk

MOHAWK -- Carol Rose, Keweenaw Krayons founder and current director, is soon to retire and will be leaving the area. While she will remain on as consultant, she will not be present in Mohawk to oversee the day-to-day happenings of this successful non-profit organization that brings art and culture to both children and adults in the Keweenaw Peninsula.

With a Strong Organization/Strong Youth (SOSY) Award from Great Lakes Center for Youth Development (GLCYD) Keweenaw Krayons is creating a sustainability plan.
