Dear Kappa Sisters,
Our year has started off very well! We had a fantastic September
meeting at Indian Hills Country Club on September 16th. We had a great
turnout of board members, association members and eleven new alums
for the hospitality party. The meeting included an overview of all
the exciting plans for the Holiday Homes Tour, presented by Anne Peterson-Barrow.
Jeannie Moxley gave us a review of the consignment shop. I was able
to present to the association the awards that were received at Kappa
Convention and tell them about Kappa Leadership Academy that I had
just returned from on September 14th.
Thank you to Heather Holder and Kristen Schotte who helped to make
this evening such a successful combination of the Fall Hospitality
Party and first Association
meeting for this year.
Founder’s Day Luncheon was Friday, October 17th, where many of our loyal
members received 50, 65 and 75 year membership pins, This event was held at
Mission Hills Country Club and was planned by Susan Erwood and Lori Inman.
Our thanks go to both of them for making this event such a success.
Our November 11th joint meeting/tasting party that was to be hosted
at Terry Lightstone’s home is going to be canceled this year, due to the scheduling
of the Kappa Holiday Homes Tour Patron’s Party that will be on Thursday
and Friday nights of that same week. We are sorry to have to cancel this event,
but felt that three nights in the same week would be a challenge for everyone
involved. We hope to have the tasting party back in the future.
The Holiday Homes Tour in December is just around the corner. There
has been lots of work put into making this event spectacular! I hope
that you have all
committed to help work a shift at a home or the shop. There are numerous ways
to volunteer, and your help is greatly needed to make this tour a success!
Our homes tour is an exciting event that makes the Kansas City Kappa Alum Association
a group that is envied by many other associations. I hope to see you on December
2nd or 3rd! We have many exciting events associated with the tour, including
a Patron’s Party, pre-tour luncheon, and the fantastic holiday boutique.
Please watch your mail in early November for your Kappa Homes Tour Ticket mailers
or your Patron’s Party tickets. Your help with selling the tickets will
greatly support our tour recipients and Kappa projects!
I wish you a wonderful holiday season and hope to see you in November
and December!
Love and Loyally,
