Our pumpkin decorating party was delightful.  Kathy Bookman and Donna Parker, VP and president of OCMSA, helped host it...and a wonderful time was had by all.  We enjoyed some good white chicken chili, traditional chili, hot cider, some apple drink concoction that was delicious, and adorable cupcakes!  It was a perfect October event and we wanted to share some of the photos with you!

I hope you all are enjoying this wonderful weather! I can't believe it's already October! But, with this great season, comes pumpkins!

Thursday, Oct. 14th at 5:30 (we are meeting earlier than usual so that we have enough daylight to decorate the pumpkins, but please come even if you can't make it until 6 or 6:30).

Start thinking of ideas! We will be decorating our pumpkins to display at our own homes or to give to a loved one or friend. We'll decorate them outside, so bundle up if necessary. Also, get excited to mingle with the resident wives! They will be joining us for this event.

The tour consists of five beautiful homes in Nichols Hills and will be showcasing the kitchens, including food and drink. The OCMSA (Oklahoma County Medical Society Alliance), which is our "Big Sister" alliance, is hosting the Kitchen Tour to raise money for Hearts for Hearing. Please check out their Facebook page (OCMS Alliance) or website (ocmsalliance.org) for more information on Hearts for Hearing.

**They need our help to volunteer in two hour shifts in one of the homes on the tour schedule:
Shift #1: 11AM to 1PM

If you are able to volunteer, not only will you be able to give of your time to raise money for Hearts for Hearing, but you will also gain access to all the kitchens on the tour, free lunch and also a free dinner - depending on what shift you work.

I volunteered last year and it was really fun! I highly recommend that you participate in this event, if you are able. Please email Callie directly at calliedot@gmail.com to let me know if you are able to volunteer and which of the three shifts that you prefer to work.
