Good morning, Wichita!
Just wanted to say a quick thank you. These emails now go out to over 25,000 people!
Let's get to it!

We want you!
This year, Wichita by EB, Manage to Create and Wichita Life have come together to form the Kansas Media Collective.
That’s cool and all…
but we want to work with people in the community, influencers, bloggers, or general Riverfest fans to help promote and make Wichita Riverfest and a big win for the city.
Through our endeavor, we hope to leverage a very powerful form of media by the way of Social Media. Interested in collaborating with us?

Together with Advanced Orthopaedic Associates
Quick question - if someone you loved was hurt, would you want to be prepared beforeor after they were hurt?
The AOA Now and Hurt! partnership will make it easier than ever to get same-day orthopedic care in Wichita.
Kids will be kids, adults will be adults, and injuries happen.
With the Hurt! app, our community can now access injury experts for free!

Wichita Water
We are rapidly approaching rainy season (April in Kansas).
Just an FYI, we’re still under Stage 2 drought restrictions i.e. voluntary conservation efforts become mandatory.
This means you can only water your lawn and garden once a week.
Will we be moving out of Stage 2 after this spring? Only time will tell.
Drone Dashboard
Have you seen drones flying around Wichita?
Some of these are the Wichita Police department.
Wonder what they’re up to? They just launched the Interactive Drone Transparency Dashboard to answer that question.
