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.

April Showers.....

Hello all!!! Beautiful weather (finally) is bringing with it budding trees, daffodils, and hyacinths. Yahoo for spring!!! We are in full spring swing, with a few reminders: We have a social planned for April 24th at 10am at Shabby Hattie's in Parkville. It is a vintage tea room and should be a lovely way to spend a Saturday morning. Please email me by April 18th if you plan to attend.
We welcome Kathy Jones, a transfer, into Chapter MK.
We installed our 2010 officers at the March meeting, with Gail Martin stepping up to hold the office of president in the absence of Susan; we are also grateful to Mitzi Jaskinia who is now our Vice President.
Robin is planning her team building for June 24th; please let her know ASAP if you want to attend. There are only seven spots open. The cost is $20, and this is always a favorite activity!!!
We are now selling Price Chopper and Hy Vee coupon books for our fund raiser.
We have voted to send Bailey Lehr, Dawn's daughter, to Cottey Summer Camp this year; we are very excited, as Bailey is very interested in science.
At our April meeting, we had Brandi Hagen, chiropractor and women's health expert, speak to us about women's health and the relationship of eating, supplements, and hormones; it was fascinating and very informative!!! We hope you are all doing well.....

February Events

We are spreading the love for Chapter MK!!! This month at our February meeting, we were treated to a lovely dinner prepared by Robin Pearson Stanley and Debbie Carnopis. Robin then treated us again as she played a lovely piano piece, "Nocturnal," which was one of Lee's favorites. We welcome a new baby into our chapter. Jennifer O'Neill gave birth on Feb. 3rd to a little girl, 6 lb, 14 oz...;pictures to follow soon! We also had a nice turn out to the Founder's Day celebration, and are looking forward to Inspiration Day on April 10th. The cost is $22.50 and checks should be mailed to Teresa Grint no later than March 9th.

January Update

Due to inclimate weather, we are rescheduling our January meeting to Thursday, Jan. 14th at the home of Ann Mauzy.
Also, we will meet at 8:15am at Starbuck's in Gladstone, and from there, we will go to Founder's Day.
We have 7 confirmed to go so far, and would love more!!!!

January Events

Warm Wishes to you all during this snowy time!!!!! We need some immediate responses....
Our January meeting is tomorrow at the home of Ann Mauzy with Dawn Lehr as co-hostess. If you plan on attending, please shoot me an email.
Also, we had planned a social on Jan. 16th at Starbuck's in Gladstone...BUT we just received a Founder's Day invite, which had made its way to Susan in Texas before coming to Gail. Founder's Day is Jan. 16th at 9am in Nashua (N. Oak north of 152 Hiway).
We need to decide on meeting at Starbuck's at 8:15 and going to Founder's Day, or rescheduling Starbuck's and meeting at Founder's Day.
Please email me and let me know if you would like to attend Founder's Day by Friday, Jan. 8th so we can purchase tickets. It's always a great way to reconnect and get inspiration from fellow PEO chapters, so try to make this event. We have so much to celebrate in MK, we should make attendance a chance to shine our light!!!
Hope to hear from you soon....angietolle@hotmail.com
