This yearâs class was suspended because of the coronavirus pandemic, but its founder and volunteers were hopeful of starting fresh early in 2021.
Then the groupâs supplies and equipment stored in a former church building the group had renovated were stolen. Everything.
Kathy Frklich, who owns KCâs Hair and More on the northeast corner of Ina and Shannon roads, was one of the teachers. Before the pandemic, she would go to Nogales on Mondays and stay through Wednesday each week to teach hair styling.
Having recently renovated her shop, Frklich took old furniture and equipment to the programâs school. She worked with suppliers to get product donations. Her staff cleaned out their own work stations and donated items.
