Kansas City Kansas Women's Chamber of Commerce October 2018

Hello All -

I can’t believe that is already October and that autumn has arrived. The leaves haven’t yet begun to change, but it won’t be long before that happens. Summer was so hot that many of us didn’t get out that much, so I am really enjoying this weather. I believe that my favorite season is Autumn, I love the smells of pumpkins, spices, etc., and the rich colors of the trees changing. Following is an excerpt from a poem entitled October’s Party by George Cooper (1840-1927):
 
October’s Party
October gave a party;
The leaves by hundreds came—
The Chestnuts, Oaks, and Maples,
And leaves of every name.
The Sunshine spread a carpet,
And everything was grand,
Miss Weather led the dancing,
Professor Wind the band.

I hope that you all are planning to join us on October 17 for our annual Purses with a Purpose event. The Committee has been working very hard to make it a fun evening and to raise funds for our scholarship fund. Come join us for great food, wine, and lots of special purses.  If you haven’t registered yet, don’t forget to go so as soon as you can. Scroll down and register while you are thinking about it. We are looking forward to the event on the 17 th . Please join us if you can.
