Fall--the season of taxes and shopping!  As the Holiday season approaches,  we think of thanking, sharing and giving, celebrating with our friends, families and loved ones. We also spend some time reflecting on what we have done this year and what we would like to do next year.  Time is always an essence--  we oftentimes find ourselves never having  enough of it, and unable  do what we want or intend to do.  Like now,  the year is almost ended.  Before we know it, 2005 is here!   

PNAGKC  has accomplished a lot  this year, and we are looking forward to next year's events.  We will be hosting the 26th Annual  PNAA National Convention in summer. We would like to showcase Kansas City to all of PNAA's  34 chapter members, and at the same time offer this opportunity to our members who have not been to PNAA's national convention before.  The Planning Committee is now working at full speed  in preparation for this event.  I'm inviting all our members to join us in this endeavor  - we need volunteers to help in various committees :  hospitality, education and social.  We have five days of activities to plan and we want to welcome our guests to Kansas City.   We are expecting about 400 delegates and we want to give them a memorable experience--
the best of Kansas City!  The different  committee chairs will be calling you soon and ask for your support. 

PNAGKC  has  given  plenty in the community,  in terms of manpower and financial support, this year.  I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who had contributed,  in some ways,  to our cause.  We had shared our time, expertise, talent, and money to those who are counting on our help.  With more manpower, we can do more.  A group is a strength, and strength is power.

PNAGKC would like to increase our membership next year. We need new leaders who will continue the vision of our organization.  I encourage our active members to extend themselves to "buddy" and mentor our future members and

leaders.  Let's reach out and touch others!

I'm blessed to be working with the PNAGKC family.   We are dedicated, committed, compassionate, unselfish and fun-loving professional nurses who love what we do and what we stand for.  We make our lives rich, full and inspired. 
HOW COULD WE SAY "NO"?

I'm quoting words of inspiration that I came across lately:

"
Every morning you are handed 24 golden hours. They are one of the few things in this world that you get free of charge. If you had all the money in the world, you couldn't buy an extra hour. What will you do with this priceless treasure?"

"One realizes the full importance of time only when there is little left of it. Every man's greatest capital asset is his unexpired years of productive life."

"In my experience, there is only one motivation, and that is desire. No reasons or principle contain it or stand against it."

Happy Holidays to all!
