Melba Conner of Eudora, Kansas has donated $5,000 to support the development of the Dwayne Peaslee Technical Training Center. The gift was made in honor of her late husband, Marvin Conner, who was a member of the Plumbers and Pipefitters Local Union.

Shirley Martin-Smith, Chair of the Peaslee Center’s Board of Directors said, “This personal gift in honor of Marvin Conner is yet another testimonial to the importance of the skilled trades to our quality of life in Douglas County and the need to ensure that these important skilled trades are accessible to those men and women who want to have great careers in our community.”
