Postmaster send changes to: Kaley Clark Rainbow Communications 628 Oregon St. Hiawatha, KS 66434 CONNECTIONS BUSINESS SPR/ SUM 20 We dedicate this issue to Atchison, the birthplace of Amelia Earhart. Rainbow Communications is honored to help this Kansas town look back on the history of Earhart and move forward with the future-proof technology of fiber. On page 3, you’ll learn why our Fiber Expansion to Atchison is an Exciting Growth Opportunity. This project is helping to foster economic development in Atchison and expand future opportunities for its residents. Don’t miss the Business Spotlight on the Amelia Earhart Memorial Airport and Atchison Amelia Earhart Foundation on pages 4 and 5. It celebrates the partnerships we’ve built with those organizations—as well as the Amelia Earhart Hangar Museum now in development—to connect them to our fiber Internet and its many advantages. Atchison’s tributes to Amelia Earhart focus on her life’s work, and page 6’s article, A Timeline of Workplace Evolution, provides an overview of work in recent decades. Much has changed since the 1970s, and more changes are coming. In Been Here, Never Left on page 7, we feature Karen Seaberg, Chairman of the Board of MGP Ingredients and Chair of the Amelia Earhart Festival on the Atchison Amelia Earhart Foundation Board. Seaberg’s decision to stay in Atchison is right for her and great for the community. Whether your business is in Atchison or another town in our service area, Rainbow Communications is your neighbor and ready to help.
