Welcome To Our World

by Mary Hanson, Have Paint; Will Travel

Last month, before temperatures were 100 degrees, I took my 3 nieces on a fun shopping trip in downtown Kirkwood. We had a great time. In just about every shop we stepped inside, I called the owner by name, and they returned the greeting, using my name, too. Even when we stopped to grab something to eat and drink, I would say "hi". My nieces reported this to my sister---their mom---when they got home. They told her how I knew just about everybody we met. My sister told them, "Aunt Mary is so connected "! I thought about this-------besides living in our Mayberry-ish city of Kirkwood, where you know so many people by name, it is really my Chamber affiliation that keeps me so connected. I have met and done business with so many wonderful people in our area. It SO matters when you need something; and you know it has to be dependable----and you want to trust whoever is selling or telling you about it. And you KNOW you will see this person again at a Chamber function. So their reputation is on the line, also.
