What our Friends have to say about us:

"I have lived in Kansas all my life. It wasn't until I joined Wesley Friends that I discovered places such as Lucas Garden of Eden and the Eisenhower Museum. I also got to cruise northern Europe at a greatly reduced rate." - Jeannie

"The monthly Wesley Friends socials are great entertaiment. The events are a wonderful place to meet new people and make new friends. The Wesley Lunch and Learns are a perfect opportunity to hear from physicians and learn the latest in health and wellness." - Marty

"Wesley Friends keeps me active and allows me to give back to the community through volunteering and helping patients. The people I have met and the support I have received in return go far beyond the privileges of membership." - Edna
