“The Illinois ENA wishes fellow member Thelma Kuska a happy 80th birthday. Thelma is a beloved member both locally and at the national level. Thelma may be retired from the bedside but she is anything but slowing down! Thelma shares her knowledge in our Government Affairs and Injury Prevention Committees. She volunteers at more places than we can count, has filled many roles in her tenure, and shows no signs of slowing down any time soon. We appreciate her more than we can say and hope she has a Very Happy birthday!”
