The 2020 Osawatomie Citizen and Volunteer of the year has been named. The winner is Dr. Sarah Doesett.
The announcement came in front of City Hall near the end of the Communities Miracle on Main Street Holiday Celebration. Dorsett has been involved in many volunteer groups and activities since moving to the Community about three decades ago. A few of the volunteer groups she has served with include Osawatomie Pride, Christmas in October, Vacation Bible School Director and teacher, Osawatomie Rotary Club and the Flint Hills Trail, where she has served as the Flint Hills Trail Miami County Representative on a State Legislative Committee. Dorsett also helped with other volunteers to clear brush for the trailhead and she has been a financial donor to the trail project.
Dorsett said two volunteer projects stand out to her the most. Working to get the Miami County YMCA vote done and working with the Osawatomie Library Improvement Project and watching it flourish over the years. She says helping others is very important and people need help right now. She says sometimes you have to stick out your neck and be willing to do whatever is needed.
