In our Winter edition, we announced a competition to recognize the best neighborhoods in Kansas.

I was hoping to enlist your help in encouraging neighborhoods from Lawrence to apply. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>We are extending the application deadline until April 2.
