"It is an honor to be recognized as a KCMPI leader but nothing would have been accomplished without the support and encouragement of the KCMPI membership, especially my co-chair Lynne Fleenor, Aloft Leawood. The fundraising collaboration with Levy Restaurants at the Sprint Center is an exciting opportunity for KCMPI to raise money in a challenging economy. As KCMPI members, we can participate in this fundraising effort and help our chapter continue to grow professionally and financially. I encourage every KCMPI member to join me in donating your most valuable commodity - time - and participate in an incredible Sprint Center event with your KCMPI friends!"
