It is with a sad heart to announce something we all knew was coming. Spencer Cochran is leaving us and moving to Louisiana. Spencer has been a dedicated club member for many years, coming to almost every event.

The KCRPCA Board may have changed, but its dedication to you as a club has stayed the same.

I guess the more things change, the more they stay the same. And I’m okay with that.
