Event will provide update on the region’s special service telephone systems

Sept. 11, 2006

Several months ago, Heart of America United Way launched United Way 2-1-1 — a service that connects residents with essential community services.

Now the city of Kansas City, Mo., is launching the region’s first 3-1-1 system to put citizens in touch with local government services.

How are these systems working? What’s the impact on local governments and other organizations?

Join us for a lunch program to learn more about existing and planned N-1-1 telephone systems in the region.

When: Friday, October 13, 2006, 11:30 a.m. - 2:30 p.m.
Where: Count Basie Ballroom, Downtown Marriott, 200 W. 12th Street, Kansas City, Mo.
Cost: $20 per person (includes lunch)
