- Inaugural Meeting of the Pony Express Reigonal GIS Users
Group
The inaugural meeting of the Pony Express Geographic Information
Systems (GIS) Users' Group was a great success, with reprsentation
for GIS users from a wide range disciplines. There were many users
involved in local government and, to a greater extent than many
other groups around the state, higher educaiton. Great things
are in-store for our members in the future, as we plan for our
quarterly meetings; these gatherings will be opportunities for
networking with neighbors as well as folks across the State border,
finding a sympathetic ear for our problems and perhaps finding
solutions -the Group exists in large part to leverage a pool of
techincal and procedural knowledge among us, and also to give
GIS users in our area a voice and the political clout to ensure
that our interestes receive due consideration when GIS issues
wind up before the legislature. For more information on the Pony
Express GIS User's group, contact Jackie Spainhower with Mo-Kan
Regional Council at (816) 233-3144.

The Green Hills Regional Planning Commission is encouraging the
public to be aware of persons who may call your home or business
stating that they can acquire Federal Stimulus grant funds, on
your behalf. The Federal Stimulus funds are being funneled through
existing State and/or Federal agencies, who will not be conducting
telephone solicitations. Should you receive a solicitation over
the phone, email, or mail offering services to help you obtain
grant and/or Federal Stimulus funds do not sign and return any
documents, or send money to retain services, without checking
out the company and the offer first. The Commission suggests that
individuals with questions or concerns contact the Missouri Attorney
