If you read his columns in Link 2 Lee's Summit you know John Beaudoin to be a passionate follower of local government and one who is never shy about sharing his opinions on the actions of local officials. But sometimes it's easy to overlook his passion for all things Lee's Summit and the people who make up his hometown community. In this week's episode, Beaudoin drops by The Vault to talk about a new project he and partner Hilary Graves recently launched in downtown. The Purple Bench Project offers a space for local senior citizens to sit and visit with other residents sharing stories and creating new relationships.
