T
he evening kicked off at six o’clock with an open house,
allowing KCMS members and esteemed guests to mix,
mingle, and learn about the various historical pieces on
display throughout our building, all while sampling wine and hors
d’ouerves.
Many have shared that the highlight of the evening was being able
to connect with colleagues outside of an office or CME setting.
At seven o’clock, Dr. Peter McGough donned his emcee hat and
started the formal program in our Haviland Library with the
premier of the KCMS video produced and directed by Kristina
Larson and Jill Hodges. It was a moving tribute the work of the
Society in King County, and was enjoyed by all!
