Hello Everyone!
Just wanted to let everyone know that it has taken a while but I have
finally managed to open an office to provide computer support and assistance
to those in the need.
So, I am sending out the word to everyone hoping you all will pass this
information along to your friends and associates.
Office address -- 810 E. 63rd. St -- Suite 300
(NW corner at the intersection of 63rd St. and Rockhill in south KC)
Phone Number -- 816.569.1490.
So, if you need assistance, have any questions about XP, Vista, Windows 7,
laptop, desktop, home network, etc... or just want to chat, give me a call
or stop by. There is parking behind the building.
Hope to hear from somebody!!!
HAPPY HOLIDAYS and HOLIDAY SEASON TO ALL AND BETTER 2010!

Tulips on Troost
Two areas of the Marlborough area in Kansas City, Missouri will be ablaze with color next spring due to the work of some volunteers and over 1000 tulip bulbs from Tulips on Troost.
Along Troost Avenue, from 77th Street to 79th Street, and the right-of-way leading to the newly renovated bridge at 85th & Troost, tulip bulbs were planted in early November. These particular Marlborough areas were identified by residents who have been working hard to beautify their neighborhood for the past year.
“We’ve undertaken several beautification projects this year in the Marlborough area, like neighborhood clean-ups. We also began the Marlborough Neighborhoods Beautification Award, which is awarded monthly to residential properties since July as well as adopting a half-mile of 85th Street to keep clean through the City’s Adopt-A-Street Program,” said Betty Ost-Everley, president of the Marlborough Community Coalition. “We wanted to highlight the gateways to our community from Troost Avenue and celebrate the renaissance we are bringing to this area with these activities and the many more we have in progress. The Tulips on Troost activities will allow us to do that.” Ost-Everley adds that these plantings will be the furthest south the tulips have ever been planted since the Tulips on Troost program began.
This planting season, Tulips on Troost will be partnering with not only the Marlborough Community Coalition, but the KC Urban Youth Center, Dialysis Clinic, UMKC and others to make Troost beautiful! Tulips on Troost is a project of the Southtown Foundation. Visit www.tulipsontroost.com for more information.
