Last week our retiree’s club played host to a special guest. Mark Ruelle, President and Chief Executive Officer of Westar Energy gave a presentation to approximately 40 members of our club. In his presentation he spoke about the future of Westar Energy in Kansas and the future of energy consumption and production overall. After the presentation Mr. Ruelle fielded questions from the retirees on several topics.

The Retiree’s club meets quarterly for lunch at IBEW Local 304 Union Hall. If you would like more information on the times and dates of the meetings please provide your contact info here.
