President's Message
The President’s Season
(KC Symphony Guild President Bobbie Fisher’s term began June 1, 2007 and ends May 31, 2008. Following is the farewell speech she delivered at the May 7, 2008 membership luncheon at which she donated to the Kansas City Symphony a check for $60,000, proceeds from the two fundraisers she directed during her season in office:)
"The year began at a lightning pace,
Off to a [national] conference – Nashville the place.
There our Guild received 'The Silver Award'
For Homes of Note Tour thirty-one – our reward!
"Next, monthly meetings to chair for Homes Tour thirty-three,
With a dedicated group and a great committee.
Then at the Membership Tea the Guild did meet
On a cold, stormy day new members to greet.
"At Hawthorne House with ‘Shopping for the Holidays’
Money for the Symphony we planned to raise.
The long anticipated event finally was here!
T’was cold but sunny as tour guests came near.
"The Christmas Luncheon was at Bonefish Grill
Where we thanked the gracious homeowners for their good
will.
The Cabaret Concert was a big GO:
‘Hail Britannia – a Jolly Good Show!’
"The Silent Auction was a smashing success,
The delicious meal was served with finesse.
Cabaret Committee planned a great format,
And who could forget Linda Hartman’s Union Jack hat!
"All too fast the year has come and has gone.
To Webster House we now all are drawn.
To celebrate a really phenomenal year
That could not have happened without all you here.
"Thank you for allowing me to be your president.
I can’t tell you how much this past year has meant.
It’s a time I will treasure I say with a tear,
For it’s truly been a very sweet year!!"
