Text Box: At the March general meeting held at the home of Sue   Durrett, a dues increase of $5 per member was approved.  This is reflected in the dues notice which is a part of this     newsletter.  Greater Kansas City Alumnae Chapter dues will be $35; $25 is sent to International and $10 stays in KC.  Since $5 has been    inadequate to meet the budget needs of the chapter, the members decided that $5 more would allow our    chapter to not be so          dependent on the Show.  
Board members will be   making the annual calls    confirming addresses and phone numbers for all of you.  Please respond to these women positively and return Text Box: their calls if you aren’t home when they call.  These are necessary if we want our  directory to be correct.
There is a bit of Show news.  The contract has been signed with the Overland Park    International Trade Center to hold the 2006 Antiques,   Garden & Home Design Show October 12-14, 2006.  The Preview Gala will be Wednesday evening October 11th.  We are trying a   Thursday-Saturday Show because our young alumnae said they would be able to work on Thursday and Friday while children were in school.  Weekends are so busy for you young mothers, and we want you to feel a part of this event.   Mary Text Box: Carol Garrity of Nell Hills in Atchison will have a new book on tabletops coming out in September, and she has agreed to come to our Show to sign her book and talk to each of you.  We are looking          forward to that and hope that you are all rejuvenated and ready to go full speed on the 2006 Show.  We could still use a Show Coordinator to keep things on track; call me if you are interested.
Thanks for a great year as your president.  My thanks to all the ladies who will be leaving the alumnae board after the May board meeting.   I hope all of you have a great spring and summer, and I’ll be looking forward to a new year in the fall.
