Gene Klotz was recently awarded the highest award from the Bowling Green Kiwanis Club for his service to the community.

Klotz, a long-time member of the local Kiwanis Club, has delivered and set up the grills for the club’s pancake breakfasts for decades.

His dedication to the Kiwanis Club is just the tip of the iceberg, according to Becca Ferguson, president of the organization.

“He’s one of the folks in the community who believes that you do things for those who can’t do for themselves,” Ferguson said of Klotz.

Klotz is known for donating his time, funding and his products from Klotz Floral Design and Garden to so many organizations and individuals in the community. Earlier this year, he was given the Outstanding Citizen Award by the Bowling Green Chamber of Commerce.

“He just doesn’t stop,” Ferguson said. “If you need something, you just have to ask.”
