I am posting this for the benefit of those living in the Greater Metropolitan Kansas City area.

The first "Y2k Community Forum" for this area was held last night at Johnson County Community College. I attended, and will give a synopsis of what happened in a separate thread.

These meetings were not well publicized; I had to go to considerable lengths to find out where, exactly, the meeting was being held. Calls to both the college and the Mid-America Regional Council were less than helpful. No one at either organization knew the details! I finally had to visit the library and find last Saturday's Kansas City Star to locate the info.

To the top, to remind those who live in the metro KC area.

My observations from the meeting held October 26th at Blue River Community College are on the thread: "Notes from the field"

Wilfred,

These conversations are dis/mis-information sessions designed to deceive and placate the sheeple. Truly a shame. The panelists are usually of the polly mindset. You know much more than they do. You are the expert. You visit this forum. You've done your homework and gotten an 'A'. Ravel in the knowledge and prep for your closest family member who are DWGI. It's probably too late for the lazy, entertainment-only and mindnumbed. They've got too many psychological stages to go through too quickly. Buy a case of canned food for the truly incapacitated or elderly.
