After 35 years anchoring the evening news at KOAA, Bob Quirk retired on Friday. The station gave him a multi-segment send-off, featuring some of his most notable reports from his long career, as well as a community-centered segment focusing on his charitable work on behalf of Multiple Sclerosis. KOAA reporter, Bill Folsom, gave Nikki just a few minutes warning before coming to the MSA office to interview her for this segment. As expected, Nikki was magnificent, speaking clearing and providing meaningful content for the story. You can see the entire segment here.
Back in the summer of 2021, we published an article on the King Sooper’s Community Rewards program, where you could direct a percentage of your shopping receipt to a local charity of your choice — at zero cost to you. It's a brilliant, generous program and it generated huge interest among our community. For many, however, getting an account set up was too complicated. Some people simply gave up! The MSA office heard these concerns and came to the rescue with a quick reference guide. If you been putting off setting up your own Community Rewards account with King Sooper’s, download this guide and get started today. You’ll be shocked at how quickly and effortlessly you will be able to raise real money for the MSA without it costing you a cent!
