Recognition of good deeds is so important in our fast-paced society! Won’t you
take the time to nominate someone in our community who selflessly volunteers
their time and makes our community a better place to live? This person should em-
ulate Jerry’s best qualities – a volunteer who possesses a can-do spirit, is a good
role model, exudes compassion, maintains a positive attitude, and is respected in
our community. Our first award recipient was Ted Kronschnabel; who will be this
year’s lucky winner?
