Doing for others became a theme of Monday’s Iola City Council meeting.
It started with the announcement of a pair of awards by the Kansas Department of Commerce.
First was a Kansas PRIDE Natural Star Capital Award that went to Iola’s Community Involvement Task Force/PRIDE Committee, in recognition of the group’s efforts to build and open a disc golf course in south Iola.
The golf course, explained Barb Anderson, a Kansas Department of Commerce regional project manager, came about after CITF/PRIDE began looking at ways to develop vacated green space following the 2007 flood.
