John Frischie honored

 

John Frischie was honored with the prestigious Rotary Vocational Service Leadership Award Dec. 14 at the regular meeting of the Kentland Rotary Club.

The Vocational Service Leadership Award recognizes Rotarians who have made a significant impact in advancing vocational service.

“Vocational service is a way of life that is modeled for us daily by John Frischie,” said Rotary District 6540 Governor Roger Sims. “John uses his professional skills to serve the community.  He helps young people achieve their career aspirations and he guides and encourages others in their professional development. John is a model Rotarian who lives out his vocation as a teacher and instructor.  Whether it is here in the Kentland Rotary Club, serving the 4H Sportfishing Club, volunteering at Purdue, serving as our District Trainer, serving as our District Assistant Governor Coordinator or serving on our District Administrative Council, John is always leading, teaching and modeling Rotary for all of us.”

Frischie was surprised, honored and thankful for the lifetime recognition award.
