Welcome to the first in a new series of episodes I'm starting up here at Kankakee Podcast called, "Meet The Mayor". I feel like it's important for all of us to get to know the current mayors of Kankakee County. The first one up is Kankakee Mayor, Chris Curtis! You'd never guess it, but Mayor Curtis once had long hair down to the middle of his back when he was a teenager. He also loves 80's hair metal and Coca-Cola. Listen to learn several more interesting stories about Mayor Curtis!
Plus, we have a new segment we are going to start doing on the podcast from time to time that we are calling, "KCC Success Stories." These segments will feature Kankakee Community College alumni and staff sharing their stories of how KCC set them up for success. The first story you’re going to hear today is actually from one of our Kankakee Podcast Patrons, Jesse Arseneau.
Help make a difference in a KCC student's life today by giving a gift to the KCC Foundation: https://foundation.kcc.edu/give/
Thank you for all your hard work and dedication to the City of Kankakee and beyond, Mayor!
Much Love,
Jake LaMore
