KFRU Business Spotlight -- May 16th & 17th, 2026. This week, Lili Vianello of Visionworks Marketing tells us about Relocating in Columbia, a recent acquisition for her company. The magazine focuses on stories on many exciting people, places and things in Columbia. We cover many topics including the start of Visionworks and the changes that have occurred through the years. We also talk to Kate Harry and Patsy Stem from Up to Good. Up to Good is the new name for Assistance League of Mid-Missouri. It's the same organization with a different name. The membership decided to go independent and -- after a lot of long hours and interesting conversations -- the new name was introduced this past week. We talk about all the things that remain the same, including the main fundraising vehicle, Upscale Resale in the Broadway Shops.
