Lyon County’s training session will be at 7 pm March 25 at the Emporia State Memorial Union Preston Family Room, followed by Morris County’s session at 7 pm March 26 at the Morris County Courthouse in Council Grove. Chase County’s training session is at 6:30 pm March 27 at the Swope Park Community Center in Cottonwood Falls.
