Letter from the Editor

Dear Readers,

I grew up in a country where the weather was not necessarily a big topic of conversation since we only had two choices — wet or dry. In this country, however, we have the luxury of seasons changing from Winter to Spring to Summer to Fall. Each season just comes at the time when we are ready for a change in weather. Keeps life interesting!

Interesting indeed...is our goal with the KCMPI e-Newsletter which is YOUR newsletter. We hope that every issue stays interesting to you. We are thinking of ways to keep you engaged and looking forward to every issue. Every now and then you will see new sections added or removed. One thing that we have added, starting with this issue, is the "Ve-News" section which will allow our Supplier Members to provide current updates on the Venues they represent. We will also be adding a "Reader's Feedback" section where we welcome your honest positive and not so positive feedback. Yes, we will share your comments with all our readers but you will have the option of letting us publish your opinion either in anonymity (from "Planner" or "Supplier") or with your full name and company.

Don't be shy...tell us...

• What did you like/not like about this issue?
• Did you not agree with one of the articles?
• Any incorrect submissions?
• Could the format be better?
• Any items you would like to see included in future issues?

Email me and/or Michelle Lizak, CMP, KCMPI's VP Communications. We want to hear from you. Remember, this is YOUR e-newsletter! YOUR feedback matters!

Finally, what is your most creative fall-themed centerpiece that you have used for an event?

Enjoy the Fall weather and Happy Hallooooooooween!

Always at your service,

Maria
