The ever popular Link directory will soon be underway for the 2013/2014 issue. Now is your chance to be included in this great community resource. Members from Southtown, Waldo, and Brookside join together to produce this book which includes both alphabetical and category listings, index of advertisers and other useful information. Affordable coupons and ads are highlighted throughout the category listings.

More than 9000 copies are printed and distributed throughout the year via mail, at local shops, and during community events. The full color directory allows advertisers to brighten up their ads and highlight their goods and services.

It is easy to be included in the directory. First, confirm that you are a member of Southtown, Waldo, and/or Brookside by calling 816-523-5553. If you are not a member, you can join by check, cash, or even on-line. Once a member, you are part of the book. Take the next step and promote your business by submitting an ad/coupon. Sizes range from 1/4 pg to full page, black and white or color.

Lastly, confirm your information is correct and wait for the directory to arrive later this summer! It will be worth the wait!

Dr. Halima Farah and her team operate Global Health Chiropractic located at 751 E. 63rd St., Ste. 110. They offer Chiropractic Adjustments, Surface Electromyography Scans, Electrical Muscle Stimulation, Therapeutic Ultrasound, Kinesiology Taping, and Intersegmental Traction. Global Health Chiropractic provides quality care using the activator method of adjusting, which is high-speed and low force. There is no twisting or cracking for those of you who are squeamish. Global Health utilizes the Surface Electromyography which is similar to an EKG for your heart, except it measures muscle tension and amount of electrical activity.

On Saturday, June 22 from 3-6pm, area neighborhood and business associations are going to breathe new life into an old tradition by holding an Appreciation Picnic for the officers and staff at the KC Police Department’s Metro Patrol Station, Hwy 71/Prospect Ave. Area residents will meet over the next six weeks to plan a wonderful event to show their gratitude and thankfulness to all those who protect and serve the area covered by the Metro Patrol.

FlagMake way for the Second Annual Southtown Independence Day Celebration Parade on Saturday, June 29 beginning at 10am in Pener Plazan (63rd and Woodland) Last year there were more than 50 parade entries including a marching band, cars and motorcycles, floats, and animals. It was very warm so we are starting the parade earlier this year. There are no entry fees and it’s a great opportunity for you to “strut your stuff!”

Visit www.southtown.org for entry forms and details. Let’s sparkle up 63rd Street as we travel west across Troost to Rockhill, south to Meyer, and back to Pener Plaza. Start makin’ those floats!
