				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Application materials due to Haviland Telephone by: March 22, 2013.</p>
<p>Attached is an application for a $500.00 scholarship offered through Haviland Telephone Company from PRIMO (Public Relations Independent Marketing Organization).  PRIMO is an organization that was founded in 1992. The organization consists of the marketing and public relations employees of independent telecommunications companies across Kansas. Although the applications must be submitted to our location, Haviland Telephone does not get to select any of the five winners. We will select the top three applications and then send them for consideration to the PRIMO Scholarship committee. The PRIMO Scholarship committee will review the top three scholarship applications from all member companies. Once the committee selects the five winners, they will notify member companies, in turn Haviland Telephone will alert any winners in our area.</p>
<p>Any high school senior or undergraduate student with a parent or guardian who currently has Haviland Telephone or GMAXX as a service provider is eligible for this scholarship. Preference is given to students choosing Marketing, Public Relations, or a telecommunications related field.</p>
<p>We ask that all applications be completed and submitted to Haviland Telephone Company by March 22, 2013. Our contact information is listed on the second page of each application.  However, if students wish to drop off their application they can do so at 104 N. Main, Haviland, KS.  Applicants may also access the application on line at the PRIMO website: <a title="PRIMO website" href="http://www.primomkt.com" target="_blank">www.primomkt.com</a></p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Kansas Telecommunications Act of 1996 authorized rural telephone  companies to increase their basic local exchange rates up to $1.50 per  month in any one year. Haviland plans to raise its two rate groups (by $0.50 each) as  follows:</p>
<p><strong>Present Rates</strong></p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Residence</span>    <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Business</span></p>
<p>$16.25       $19.25</p>
<p><strong>Proposed Rates</strong></p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Residence</span>     <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Business</span></p>
<p>$16.75          $19.75</p>
<p>K.S.A 66-2007(b) requires Haviland to provide each subscriber notice of the proposed rate increase and to inform you that you can petition the  Kansas Corporation Commission (785-271-3100 or 800-662-0027) to determine  the reasonableness of the proposed rates. If fifteen percent (15%) or more  of our subscribers protest the proposed rates increase, the Commission will be required to initiate an investigation.</p>
<p>The proposed increase will be made in the first billing date following the Commission&#8217;s approval.  It will not be earlier than sixty (60)  days nor more than one hundred twenty(120) days from this notice.</p>
