Letter from the Chair - Jarred Griffin

What's up McKinney Young Professionals!

We just had a successful business tour/happy hour all at SRS Distribution! The MYP'ers got to tour their facility, learn about their culture, history, and future, and then have a Happy Hour and food in their cafe! A HUGE thank you to Abernathy, Roeder, Boyd & Hullett, P.C. for sponsoring this event!

Our next big event is right around the corner! We will be doing our annual Cheers to Charity event at TUPPS Brewery (presented by our Title Sponsor Love Life!) on Tuesday, September 14th from 5:00 - 7:30 PM! This is always a VERY well attended event, and you don't have to be a MYP'er to go! Tickets are on sale now, just go to the MVP page on the Chamber website. You won't want to miss this event! Food will be provided by Cadillac pizza, there will be a beer stein auction and really cool raffle items as well. We still have 1-2 sponsorship slots available, so if anyone is interested, please let me know!

On a more serious note, we had a call with our Charity Partner, Embrace Texas, this week. They have informed me that the amount of kids without foster placement (whether it's aging out of just an increase in the number of kids) has grown substantially this year. We, as Young Professionals, need to take charge and help our community while we can. Their biggest need is for people to give their time. Here is the quote directly from Embrace Texas:
