Howdy Josh !

Yes last night's KCWEBPROS meeting (http://www.kcwebpros.com) at APLUS.NET (http://www.aplus.net) was awesome. I learned a lot. It was great meeting you, and thanks for attending. I will remember to thank Tina Pugh for inviting all the Centriq folks.

Please feel free to join our FAIRTAX group here on KCOnline, and I look forward to working with you on getting the FairTax passed into law !!

See you the next KCWebPros meeting !! Thanks Again.

Ray ~

Great to meet you last night at the KC Web Pros meeting. It was a great event and was nice to get to know others in the IT field here in KC.

I spoke with Earl a bit last night about FairTax KC. I did a little work with FairTax in Tulsa a few years back. I will be interested to see what is going on here in KC now.

Best,

Josh Lovetere

Howdy Ian !

Yes - that is the purpose of this "group/forum" here on KCOnlineCommunity. We can use this to have discussions, etc. There is a discussion feature inside the FairTax group page.

Thanks very much for joining !
See you "in the ether" !!

We didn't have time to talk at the meeting but I was thinking that kcfairtax website should really have a forum when people could get to know one another and talk about the Fair tax throughout the month as well.

It would bring people closer together and people could ask questions too if they're just learning about the Fair Tax.

Also, with new content it would up our Google ranking and SEO visibility, which could bring more members to the Fair Tax site--and to the group as a whole.

Thanks,

Ian
