Dear editor:
Having just attended the most recent Iola Rotary club meeting, I feel good about my decision to support all the current bond issues. The program given by Lori Cooper and Tim Stauffer reinforced my convictions about the need to move forward.
Lori reviewed the process that the committee of about 30 citizens went through to make their final recommendations. In the beginning, half of the members were against a bond issue and half supported the need. After many options were considered, the committee came to a unanimous decision.
Tim explained how his family roots are deeply connected to Allen County and his desire to not give up on its long term future. A graduate of Iola High School, Tim expressed his desire for his and other children to have the best education possible.
I think we should be so grateful for the work that has been completed by this committee. We need to support their work by saying Yes!, Yes!, Yes!
Sincerely,
Gary G. McIntosh,
Iola, Kan.
