Jaycees seek HLK Award candidates

Nominations being accepted to March 13

  The Frankenmuth Jaycees are seeking nominations for one of the community’s oldest and continuous recognitions for local citizens.

  Plans are in the works for the 54^th annual Herbert L. Keinath Distinguished Service Awards Banquet, an event that celebrates service in and around the community of Frankenmuth.

  Jaycee Alyssa DePlonty is this year’s banquet chairperson, with fellow Jaycee Olivia Howard the co-chair.

  “We are working hard to solicit nominations in order to select the worthiest recipients and organize the awards ceremony and banquet, with a date and time to be determined by those recipients,” DePlonty said.

  The Herbert L. Keinath Distinguished Service Award recognizes a community member who has given of his or her time and talents unselfishly to Frankenmuth to better the town and its people.

  The Jaycees also seek nominees for four other awards:

  The Outstanding Young Entrepreneur Award recognizes a local entrepreneur, under the age of 40, who has displayed merit in his or her field by demonstrating passion, leadership, and by working hard to continually make improvements in the business world while upholding the traditions of the community.

  The Spousal Recognition Award recognizes the partner of an active community service club member who consistently provides support of their spouses’ goals, interests and volunteerism despite not being a member themselves.

  The Outstanding Boss of the Year Award recognizes the boss of a Frankenmuth Jaycee who has shown an abundance of kindness and assistance in their employee’s participation with the Junior Chamber (Outside nominees not accepted).

 The Jaycee of the Year Award is chosen by the immediate past president of the Jaycee Chapter and recognizes a Jaycee who has gone above and beyond in service to the community and humanity (outside nominees not accepted). This award is kept secret until it is presented that evening.

  All nominations forms and attachments must be submitted no later than Friday, March 13. To obtain forms, contact DePlonty at her email address, adeplonty@gmail.com. Forms may also be mailed to her at 360 East Genesee Street, Frankenmuth, Michigan 48734.
