Fundraiser Update...

We have now concluded the 1/2 Price Books fundraiser, and we will be initiating a new fundraising project soon. Thanks to all who contributed books, and to those who took time to take the books to the store!!!

Spreading the love...

If you missed our last meeting, Robin invited her friend, Kim Martin, to speak and share a video with us, about an amazing student from Hickman Mills High School that is sponsoring a very special Flag Corp, made up of very special students, from this school. The members of the Flag Corp are either physically or mentally challenged individuals, and it is a very inspiring story about a student that took on sponsorship of this group, when they were at risk of being eliminated because no one would sponsor them. Breanna Engeman is a junior in high school, and has really placed her mark on these students and the school with her accomplishments. I am passing on this link, and hope that you will take a moment and read the story, and you’ll see what I mean. Breanna was featured by Phil Witt on Fox 4 in their Reaching For Excellence program back in November, 2008.

Latest News

Welcome to the Chapter MK blog!!!
Our February meeting is next week, February 5, at Robin Pearson Stanley’s home. Festivities will begin with a meal at 6:30. Please RSVP to Robin so she will have a good head count for dinner. Her email is davestnly@kc.rr.com.

Also, please bring donations for Half Price Books, and something to contribute to the care package for the IPS student. I mentioned this in my January 11 email. Suggestions would be gift cards (Sonic, Applebee’s, Walmart, HyVee – those are places that have a location in Maryville), candy, inspirational books – whatever you can think of that a college student might enjoy.

Annual dues are payable by the end of February, so if you can pay at this meeting, it would greatly appreciated.
