A GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR KIOWA COUNTY
You can take advantage of a unique opportunity to experience some amazing cutting-edge technology at the Kiowa County Courthouse this month. For one week only (October 8-14), community groups can arrange to have a demonstration of Telepresence technology. This is a communication tool which puts people in face-to-face contact, no matter where in the world they are, and they feel like they are in the same room. The camera automatically adjusts its views based on who is talking at the time. You can also call up documents onto the screen to use as visual aids to the conversation.

If you work in education (think distance learning), health care (telemedicine), city or county government, or other fields where communication is key, this could be of great interest to you. We invite you to give the Telepresence a test-drive.

The technology is in Greensburg thanks to the generosity of AT&T and CISCO. They are partners with Greensburg GreenTown on our home design competition and have installed the Telepresence into the County Commissioners room so that the judges of our contest can meet to discuss the submissions in real time.

Call Stephanie at GreenTown (cell: 402-660-4834) if you’d like to schedule a time for your group to experience this very cool technology. We expect that the room in the Courthouse can accommodate up to 10 people comfortably.

HUNTER SAFETY TRAINING
Hunter Safety Training will be held on October 24 – 25. Classes will be from 1 – 7 p.m. each day. The course will be held at the First Baptist Church in Greensburg. Class will be limited to 30 participants.

Contact Donnie Bonham at 620-672-3936 to sign up.

WOMEN’S FINANCIAL CLASS AVIALABLE
