Linda Peters, Executive Director of Kidron Bethel Village in North Newton, recently had lunch with her new state representative Tim Hodge. She provided the KBV fact sheet (view and download the template) and talked about the organization and some of their major issues and concerns.  At the conclusion, Rep. Hodge asked for her cell phone number and saved it to his phone in case he needs more information or her perspective as he does his work in the statehouse.  Now how about that?!  Good job Linda.
