As most of you know, the Vasculitis Foundation was created by Marilyn Sampson in Kansas City. I'm delighted that our guest speaker for our Dec. 17 meeting will be Karen Higgins, Marilyn's daughter! She will talk about the life of her mother, and the creation of the Vasculitis Foundation. Our meeting will begin at 1p.m. and conclude by 3p.m.

We have a new meeting place for the December meeting and our host will be Kelly Dougherty, who works for the firm, VML. She writes:

 "The address is VML, 250 Richards Rd, KCMO 64116.  It's the old downtown George Wheeler Airport. It's right off 169 hwy/aka Broadway (just over the Broadway bridge - stay in left lane and take the first left exit right after you cross the bridge) We'll be in the Constellation Room right close to the front door - and I'll be keeping my eyes open for folks.  There is a circle drive and if someone needs to they can park in there.  They just need to go in the entrance that says "do not enter" as that is the only way. I promise no one will get in trouble.  We have soda, water and coffee here so no one needs to worry about bringing drinks, however food is certainly welcome.  My (Kelly's) cell is 913-449-8110 if there are any questions.  VML is not open for business on Saturday's so we pretty much have it to ourselves."

 
It will be helpful to know how many to expect, so please let me know if you plan to attend. Thanks a bunch.
 
Thanks to Arlene Kullman for inviting Karen to speak to our group.
