Entrepreneurs Herald Honor and more..

Jul 1, 2021
2 min read

We're pleased to share that our cousin Myrrie Hayes has received recognition from the Entrepreneurs Herald magazine, reporting on her healthcare business success. Myrrie is CFO of Best Care Behavioral Homes in Phoenix, Arizona and this honor follows the announcement that Best Care's CEO Kay Bodude was slated to speak at a conference in Chicago highlighting Women Entrepreneurs.

Best Care is a multi-million dollar company and its two leaders who also happen to be sisters have big plans for the future in case any family members may be interested in a healthcare career. Growth at the company has been remarkable in the last couple of years and Myrrie's financial background has helped in a major way to facilitate that growth.

We're always excited to share family news, especially good news. On that note we'll switch gears to reunion mode since its already July and MCJ 2021 KC is only about two months away. Here's all the pertinent information.

We'd like to share some of the planned activities for the reunion although we're continuing to refine those plans with an eye toward making your stay in KC as enjoyable as possible. You may have heard we're going to kick things off this year with a special Thursday night opening party at the Collins Compound. This event just might become a tradition at our reunions, at least for any future reunion hosts that want to compete for the title! Next, we have the Welcome to KC Meet &Greet on Friday evening at 6:00 p.m. at the hotel. The annual MCJ Family Business Meeting will be Saturday morning at 9:00 a.m. followed by the KC Masterpiece Picnic at 1:00 in Swope Park at the Bandstand, just off 63rd & Jackson. Saturday night we’ll have a range of suggested activities including chilling at the hotel for the less adventurous. Sunday morning we’ll worship together for those that choose to followed at 1:00 p.m. by our annual MCJ Banquet with all the related activities. The banquet will be held at the Fireman's Hall at 63rd & Manchester. That’s the general outline, we’ll put a little more detail on each activity as we go forward.
