Brita Bolton, owner of Papa Don’s Pizza, was presented the Modern Woodmen Hometown Hero award in front of friends and relatives gathered at the Fort Scott Elks Lodge for the event. The award was presented by Jolynne Mitchell representing Modern Woodmen Chapter 514.
Modern Woodmen is a member-focused financial services organization that provides opportunities for members to learn, socialize and volunteer in their local community.
Every year Modern Woodmen’s 2,500 chapters have an opportunity to honor a person who has provided outstanding community service. This year’s honoree, Brita Bolton, is dedicated to our community by supporting the Chamber, providing after hours directions and support to visitors. She lends a hand up to many high school students by offering employment to meet the needs of their schedules.
Brita is a tireless worker for other community activities including delivering Christmas Baskets, providing meals for local schools and various sporting activities.
Each Hometown Hero receives a special certificate and a $100 donation to a charity of their choice.
