“AND THEY’RE OFF”
Rhonda Rhodes
T
he Alliance got off to a great start. We
began our year with a luncheon at Michelle Feger’s house in September. We
saw several familiar faces as well as some new
ones. Everyone enjoyed catching up from our
summer fun with food and friends. It’s always
great to reconnect and plan the year.
September 27, 2014, John and I hosted a KPPAC reception called
“Pumpkins and Politics” for multiple legislators and physicians. It
was a beautiful evening for all of us to talk about important legislation coming up this session. We noted that our medical community
has been variously assaulted by mandates from government and
insurance companies, and we must work hard to make our voices
heard.
On September 2nd, we joined the Extell
Team to Walk for Alzheimer’s. My Mom lost her battle in June
of 2012 and many of our members have a family member who is
battling this disease.
With the holiday season coming fast, we will gather at Audrey
Carter’s house to enjoy each other’s company – details to be emailed.
Congratulations to Ilene Bosscher for becoming the KMAA
Secretary for 2014-2015. She was installed at the annual meeting
September 15, 2014. The installation was held at Doc Crow’s during
our luncheon. Sarah Sanders, AMAA President introduced the
new officers (by the way using Cheerios to illustrate duties and
relationships).
Stay tuned as we ring in 2015 for more Alliance fun to continue
and more opportunities for philanthropy as well.
Note: Rhonda Rhodes is the co-president of the GLMS Alliance
with Michelle Feger.
