Happy Thanksgiving!
Reminder: no meeting this week. Next meeting: Friday, December 4th.
We weren't kidding: it is a Happy Thanksgiving!!
President Jane received the news this week that St. Luke’s Hospital has committed to be our $10,000 Games for Good title sponsor again. This early commitment is a great endorsement of the Games and will no doubt help convince other potential sponsors to step forward. Congratulations to all involved.
New Member proposed
The Board has approved the application of Paul Temme. Paul’s classification is Business Broker and he has worked with Apex Business Advisors for three and a half years. Prior to that he spent 18 years in technical publishing and prior to that was with Westport Publishing.
Paul and his wife Loring Leifer recently celebrated their 25th anniversary. He has lived in the Kansas City area for 24 years and grew up in Queens and Floral Park, NY. He volunteers with Jackson Co. CASA and is a founding member of NEKS Brady Campaign to prevent Gun Violence. He enjoys bicycling, travel and bridge.
Program follow-up
At last week’s meeting, Greg Housel, with the FDIC, spoke with us about an organization he’s involved with called the Alliance for Economic Inclusion that is working to give lower and middle-income families the knowledge and skills to improve their lives financially.
We did not have time at the meeting for very many questions so Greg forwarded some additional material about his organization, including how businesses and individuals can volunteer to help in this important work.
