Congrats Brenda!

August Employee of the Month

Brenda E. // Chop Tops

----------------------------------------------------

We have another lady taking home the prize this month, Brenda of Chop Tops! Her friends and fans really rallied during the last two days to bring her 48% of the votes. Brian from Kennedy's was really close behind her though. We have more booze for this month's EOM, a four pack of big beers and pint glasses from Stone Brewing Company! I'm reminding them to deliver the prize today and then it's off to the salon for our drop off. Thanks everyone for voting and playing again this month. We love to shower our peeps with fun gifts and prizes. We'll be doing a special post on Stone Brewing soon and we're going to give away more beer for one of our lucky, local readers. Keep an eye out for it. Brenda, keep up the great work you're doing and good luck with your studies!

Thank you for being our prize sponsor!

The final poll.

Chop Tops

Service Industry Detour

----------------------------------------------------

Before Brenda stood behind the desk booking appointments at greeting guests at Chop Tops, a salon on 39th Street, she was sitting was sitting in one of the stylist chairs as a customer. They needed someone; she did it because she likes all the girls at the shop and "it's a sweet job." A student in x-ray technology, Brenda will be graduating in May. She says, "It's kinda nerdy and satisfies my need to not be broke, do something with people and makes me think."

Originally from Puerto Rico, Brenda lived in Florida for eight years before moving to Kansas City three years ago. She says she loves Kansas City. "It's really easy to make friends here. I think I'm going to stay a while." She likes going to shows when she's not studying or working: Adam Lee & the Dead Horse Sound Company, Whiskey Breath and other local honky tonk bands. Brenda's tattoos are the work of Cory Farago.

  Make KC Better » It would be good to see more people out to see shows. For people to support art and music. More person to person community building.
