So, we want to know what you really think. Let us know what you look forward to + what you want to see more of in the KCtoday newsletter by taking our brief survey. It’s as easy as a walk down Berkley Riverfront. We’ll ask you questions like: - What topics are you most interested in reading about? History or arts? Road trips or restaurant news?
- What's your favorite part of the newsletter? Aside from our smiling faces at the bottom, of course.
-
Is the product too short, too long, or just right? Goldilocks would approve of this survey.
Everything you tell us helps our team deliver the most relevant information about our city, and as always, we will never sell your personal data and will always respect your privacy. As a thank you for your feedback, you’ll be entered into a drawing to win $1,000 cash. Sound like a plan?
Thanks in advance for your help — we look forward to hearing from you. -The KCtoday team |

Editor's pick: I'm really looking forward to running tomorrow morning — even if 6:30 a.m. is earlier than I normally wake up. Seriously, come out and introduce yourself. I'll be with KCtoday sales rep Amanda, who's a bundle of fun. Also Garmin will have the top American woman in the 2022 Boston Marathon, Nell Rojas, on site. So cool.
