The Kiwanis Club

The Chamber would like to recognize the Kiwanis

for their continuous dedication to the community by

presenting them with the June 2013 Spirit Award,

Our chapter displays character and spirit through

their commitment to fund raising, outreach, and com-

munity betterment.

For Memorial Day

weekend, Kiwanis so

graciously distributed

flags around Sikeston

to honor our much

appreciated veterans.

When fundraising,

100% of what they receive goes back into our com-

munity, which shows their drive for improving and

sustaining Sikeston’s growth.

Celebrating 100 Years of Service!

Business Card Drawing Winner

Ms. McIntire has been an Account Executive at FOX 23 KBSI and MY 49 WDKA for

almost 12 years. Her job is to help businesses develop a television marketing image that

works!

Over the years she has helped many businesses start up and reap the benefits of the

powerful medium television advertising has become.

T.V. advertising can be perceived as expensive and out of reach, but it can provide easy

and affordable choices.

Television can be a great place to advertise at Heartland News at 9 and syndicated shows

like The Big Bang Theory. Customized plans for any business can be created in order to

reach any desired audience.

Ms. McIntire hopes to help make local businesses grow, by utilizing television as a

media source, it can be accomplished!
