History
The organization began its life in the mid 1990s as the Kansas Connection. As the organization grew in the late-nineties it organized as a nonprofit under the original co-presidents and founders, Connie Ventress and Eleanor Lind. During its formative years, the organization always had people from other Midwest states in the membership. In 2007 The Kansas Connection officially became the Midwest Entertainment Connection to better reflect its membership and expand its focus.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“We know only a single science, the science of history. One can look at history from two sides and divide it into the history of nature and the history of men. However, the two sides are not to be divided off; as long as men exist the history of nature and the history of men are mutually conditioned.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
“Jesus Christ belonged to the true race of the prophets. He saw with an open eye the mystery of the soul. Drawn by its severe harmony, ravished with its beauty, he lived in it, and had his being there. Alone in all history he estimated the greatness of man.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“History has neither the venerableness of antiquity, nor the freshness of the modern. It does as if it would go to the beginning of things, which natural history might with reason assume to do; but consider the Universal History, and then tell us,—when did burdock and plantain sprout first?”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
