Former federal official stays vocal on senior issues in Kansas
Kathy Greenlee, former US Assistant Secretary of Aging, returned to Kansas after resigning in June as the third ranking federal official on aging. She remains an advocate at heart, planning to push elder abuse prevention, a topic she noted Obama publicly addressed after their first meeting. Greenlee received the Caring Award from Kansas Advocates for Better Care at Maceli's Banquet Hall.

AmeriCorps members on front lines of local housing effort
AmeriCorps members in Lawrence work with Catholic Charities and other host agencies to address housing needs. Harris helps at a pantry and hotline while pursuing her service in a program funded by federal grants. The group, now 19 local members, aims to expand housing focus as Lawrence ranks among Kansas communities with scarce affordable housing and long waiting lists.
