Tanager Place is pleased to announce it has received a nearly $1.8 million legacy gift from Jared and Carol Hills to expand Camp Tanager. The donation is the largest single transaction gift Tanager Place has received in its 140-year history.
“Camp Tanager has served the children of eastern Iowa since 1926. Because of this incredible gift, we will continue to serve Iowa’s children for years to come,” said Okpara Rice, CEO of Tanager Place.
“I cannot say enough about the goodness and generosity of Jared and Carol Hills. This is an amazing gift – a legacy for our organization, the children and families we serve, and the broader community. It provides a clear path through the first phase of our camp expansion project and, most important, it ensures more children can access a positive and potentially life-changing camp experience.”
Originally launched under the name Camp Good Health, Camp Tanager is located four miles east of Cedar Rapids and serves more than 1,000 children in summer programs and more than 2,000 in year-round offerings. In addition to providing traditional day and overnight experiences – many scholarship-based and free-of-charge – Camp Tanager hosts specialized medical camp programs, such as longstanding hemophilia and diabetes camps.

Loves Travel Stops plans to continue its expanding its network, adding 40 stores across the country in 2018. Two of those stores will open up in Iowa, including stores in Mills County and Waterloo, adding to the two stores opened up a year ago in Ellsworth and Charles City.
Iowa Land Records, the nation's leader in enabling statewide searching and electronic submission of recorded property records, reached a couple new milestones this fall. Iowa Land Records has now enabled the submission of larger size plats to both be uploaded into the portal for accessing such documents online as well as electronically submitting those documents for recording.
In addition, approximately 37% of all documents are currently being electronically submitted, an increase of 9% from 2016, helping make both property transactions and county recorder offices more efficient.
