Long time member of the Brecksville Kiwanis, Tim McDonel, was recognized by the City of Brecksville as the male “Sr. Volunteer of the Year”. Tim was also awarded the Donald E. Williams Past Kiwanis International President award by the Brecksville Kiwanis Club to thank him for his service not only to the Kiwanis organization, but also to the Brecksville community. The namesake of this award, Donald Williams, the Kiwanis Past International President, was on hand to present this award to Tim. In addition to these honors, Tim was presented with a quilt from the second graders at Highland Dr. Elementary School to thank him for the hours of times he has devoted to the children of the school by volunteering to read to them over the past 10 years.

Barbara Deimling, the advisor for the K-Kids Club of Assumption since its inception, was awarded a plaque from the club to honor her and to thank her for her service. The K-Kids Club is a Kiwanis sponsored club for elementary school aged children that teaches them the value of community service while developing them into leaders for the next generation. Thanks to the efforts of Mrs. Deimling, the Assumption K-Kids Club maintains a strong membership over 30 students each year and fosters the importance of service within the young people of the community.
