MARCH 17TH @ 7:00 PM
“WE’RE BACK! Knowing that it is St. Patrick’s Day, I had to put the title in green! As of this writing the weather also looks to be fairly nice for March! I love the above picture for several reasons. It is a sweet reminder of our friend Dan Fedynich (left) who spoke at Trailside. Dan was a ball turret gunner on a B17. A second reason I like this picture is Gary Swanson’s (right) big Trailside Smile. Gary started the Living History Series at Trailside about a decade ago and I know he’ll be looking forward to seeing you in person on March 17th. I also like this picture because my dad’s painting is on the left and lastly I like the above picture because the venue is Trailside where they’re looking forward to seeing you on March 17th!!!”
“One of our last meetings featured WWII British Army Signal Corps Veteran Sally Kethley Mculley. The Living History Series resumes its great tradition by bringing Author and Vietnam Veteran Richard Brundage. Richard is the Author of “the Five o’Clock Follies”
We’ve Missed You and Hope to See You!!!
ALWAYS GOOD REFRESHMENTS

The $21 million “Building Up Grandview” bond package includes millions for needed improvements to city streets and the Blue Ridge Blvd. corridor that will benefit area drivers generally as well as Grandview residents.

The need to extend KCMO’s current 22-cent health levy for nine years to help cover the cost of essential medical care for indigent city residents provided by University Health (formerly Truman Medical Center), nonprofit neighborhood health centers such as Swope Health and the fire department’s ambulance service that also will be on the April 5 ballot will be explained by Gerard Grimaldi, chief health policy & government relations officer for University Health.

Krista Morrison, KCMO budget officer, will discuss the most significant changes from this fiscal year’s adopted budget that are in the proposed city budget for the upcoming fiscal year starting May 1 and respond to questions. The proposed budget can still be amended by the city council which is scheduled to adopt it later this month.
