It's snowy out there....

Hey all. Wow. Are ready for spring or what???? The weather has not kept Chapter MK down, though. In January, several members attended Founder's Day. What a great time to connect with PEO sisters from around the region. Last week, we had a coffee social at Panera. It was great to see so many of our newer members there...and baby Reagan!!!! We are hoping our meeting Feb. 3rd does not get cancelled due to weather...Robin is planning a meal for us, and we love it when Robin treats us to her culinary delights!!! Last weekend, President Gail Martin participated in Polar Plunge, a fundraiser for Special Olympics. She bravely plunged into icy water...something she wanted to check off of her "40 things to do when I'm 40" list..congrats, Gail. We are still praying for the healing of Jane Saari's son as he battles cancer. Member Angie Perkins is pregnant with her 2nd child. We are excited to have initiated two new members: Catherine Wood and Doreen Disbrow. We hope to see more members at meetings in 2011!!! Officer elections are just around the corner, so please consider devoting your time. We will need a president, as Gail has stepped in after Susan moved to Texas. We will also need a new Recording Secretary and several other committments from members. See you soon...stay warm!!!!

Happy Holidays!!!

Check out our new pictures from our BIL at Bucca di Beppo on the Plaza. What a fun night with our boys and CHapter MK gals!!!!
We are proud to be sponsoring Chelsea Rickman, senior at Platte County RIII High School, for the STAR Scholarship. Chelsea is a MIssouri State Delegate, she is involved with many clubs, President of Student Council and National Honor Society, and plans on attending Medical School. We hope and pray we are able to honor her with some extra money for college!!!!
Our upcoming annual Christmas Social is at Melanie Doll's house on Dec. 2nd at 6:30. We have several new members, and one visiting member attending. If you haven't been to a meeting in a while, we would LOVE to see you. Bring an appetizer to share and a star-themed gift ($10 maximum).
Happy Holidays to you all. Hope you are well and surrounded by love and blessings in this season of giving thanks!!!!!!!

Celebrations

Check out our latest pictures....Chapter MK hosted a "College Shower" fro Breanna Engeman, sending her off to California with plenty of gift cards to buy all of her necessities.
Also, our own Teresa Grint participated in a marathon in Smithville....way to go, lady!!!

August Updates

We proudly welcome Catherine Wood to Chapter MK!!! Catherine was initiated Aug. 5th. Our chapter continues to grow as we recently added Katherine Jones, as well. We also have two more potential members whose names have been proposed...how exciting!!! As summer winds down, we look forward to cooler weather and quality time with our sisters. An Oct. 3rd trip to Cottey College is being planned, as well as a November BIL to Bucca di Beppo on the plaza.
We are also meeting August 10th at 6:30pm at Grand St. Cafe to give a college shower (gift cards) to Breanna Engeman, as she prepares to leave for California for school.

Sweet Summer Time!!!

Warm weather and long, lazy evenings are upon us, ladies!!! Chapter MK is not slowing down, though. We are so excited to be sending Bailey Lehr to Cottey's summer camp this year. We know she will have a great time and experience all kinds of new knowledge. Even better, she is the daughter of an MK member, so we couldn't be happier to expose her to P.E.O.
At our June meeting, Robin showed us "knife skills" and how to properly handle knives for chopping and dicing foods...fun!!! Robin will also be hosting her annual team building cooking activity at her home June 24th....but this event is SOLD OUT!!! Also coming up is Bunko at Mitzi's house on July 19th. We would like everyone to keep Lisa and Nancy in their thoughts with the passing of their fathers.
