We’ll once again be presenting the awards at the annual KTC Holiday Party in December. Reminder, to qualify for series awards (and free shoes!), you’ll need to be a member of KTC, and you will need to have volunteered 2 times during the course of the 2022 TTT series. Note: This is the final event of 2022 and may well decide the winners in each of the four categories.
