Come hear Bruce Mathew’s presentation and book signing on The Kansas City Spirit, in the J.E. Dunn Construction Theater, a 244-page journey of stories of service above self.

THERE HAVE BEEN MANY DEFINING MOMENTS which have shaped The Kansas City Spirit.

 Following the flood of 1951, Joyce C. Hall, founder of Hallmark Cards, commissioned Norman Rockwell to paint this spirit. His words to the artist were “Paint a picture The Kansas City Spirit that will forever symbolize the place in good men’s hearts that allows them to put service above self to come together to accomplish the impossible.”

This book, The Kansas City Spirit: Stories of Service Above Self, not only recalls some of those defining moments it examines the contributions and personal stories of a few of those whose lives exemplified that spirit.

The Kansas City Spirit: Stories of Service Above Self is both a history and a how-to book for future generations of Kansas Citians… how to give back and make the community a better place in which to live.
