We would like you to know more about our KARSP Membership. In the Spotlight is:

Linda DeYoung – A KARSP Member

Hello, fellow KARSP members, my name is Linda DeYoung. I taught for Kalamazoo Public Schools at Woods Lake Elementary – 5th grade.

I am married and have 2 grown sons.

My interest is any kind of history, genealogy, and traveling in the United States and world.

I believe the best thing about KARSP/MARSP is the people. I joined the organizations to keep in touch, and informed about our pension and insurance. We are very lucky and fortunate here in Michigan, and I want to keep it that way.

I appreciate all of the people who volunteer to keep KARSP going. If I don’t know you, stop and say Hi!
