Local coach, mentor, volunteer and teacher, Dave Lee, Jerry City, will soon be recognized for countless hours of service to the community.
On Sunday, July 30, local Modern Woodmen of America members will honor him as a hometown hero. The event will take place at the Wayne Fire Hall, 200 N. Center St., Wayne, beginning at 4:30 p.m.
Lee will be recognized through Modern Woodmen’s Hometown Hero Program for so many years of being an outstanding leader, coach, mentor, volunteer and teacher and impacting a countless number of people to become better athletes while developing core characteristics that have helped enabled them to be successful in life.
As part of the Hometown Hero Program, members of the Fostoria Modern Woodmen chapter will present Lee with a certificate and a $100 award grant to be donated to the charitable organization of the honoree’s choice.
“The Hometown Hero Program allows us to thank those who give back to the community while encouraging others to volunteer,” says DJ Deiter, local Modern Woodmen volunteer leader. Coordinated by local Modern Woodmen members, the fraternal financial services organization’s Summit chapters, chapters and youth service clubs provide opportunities for members to take part in social and educational activities and volunteer projects to meet local needs.
