Effingham, IL-(Effingham Radio)- The DAR Community Service Award provides a unique opportunity for chapters to provide a non-competitive recognition to worthy individuals and organizations for outstanding voluntary service. The contribution could be through volunteer heroic, or benevolent services as well as by organizing or participating in community services. The activity must have taken place in the last five years with no compensation.
The recipient honored at the recent meeting has been serving his community for many years and continues to serve. His list of services makes it difficult to know where to start with the many ways he has given his time and shared his knowledge with others. It is heartwarming to honor someone with this kind of love of country and community.
The Ann Crooker St. Clair Chapter, NSDAR were honored to present this award to Bill Wendling. Bill is from Altamont and has served his country in WWII as well as his community on his return. Bill was accompanied by this daughter and son-in-law Ellen and Alan Walk and his grandson Devin. Bill also received a certificate of appreciation for his military service from the chapter.
Congratulations Bill!
