Second, one of us deserves some great recognition! A core group of regular members and others accounting for six to 20 people usually attend the activities of Ad Astra Mensa in the Topeka (KS) area. Kenneth Helstrom, a member of Ad Astra Mensa, has attended every single Ad Astra event since June 10th, 2013. So, now just recently Ken has been recognized for his banner effort with a plaque which reads:
Kenneth Helstrom
Most Devoted Mensan
“We are grateful for your dedication”
Ad Astra Mensa
2018
Congratulations, Ken!
