Lynn Zuellig is chosen HLK Distinguished Service winner

  The Frankenmuth Jaycees are finalizing details for their 53^rd annual Herbert L. Keinath Distinguished Service Award Banquet.

  Lynn Zuellig of Frankenmuth has been chosen to receive the HLK award for 2019. The banquet will be held on Wednesday, May 8 at the Bavarian Inn Lodge in its Composer Rooms. Social hour will begin at 6pm, followed by dinner at 6:45pm and the program.

  The honor initially started as the Distinguished Service Award (DSA), annually given to a community member who has given of his or her time and talents unselfishly in an effort to serve the community of Frankenmuth and its people. The DSA was presented to the late Herbert L. Keinath, Frankenmuth’s first city manager in 1968, and upon his death the award was renamed in his honor.

 In addition to this award, the Jaycees will also honor the Outstanding Boss of the Year, Steve Grasel of Frankenmuth, owner of Grasel Graphics; the Outstanding Young Farmer of the Year, David Houghtaling; the Spousal Recognition Award, presented to Jeff Schmitzer of Frankenmuth; and the Jaycee of the Year, who will be announced at the banquet.

  “The banquet is open to the public and all are welcome and invited to attend this celebration of community service, presented by the Frankenmuth Jaycees,” HLK Chairperson Danielle Marsrow said.

  Tickets must be purchased in advance and are available at the Frankenmuth Chamber of Commerce and Frankenmuth Credit Union’s main branch office. Tickets are $30 per person or two for $50. Cash or check only. For more information, or to arrange for will-call tickets, contact Danielle Marsrow at 989-553-0901 or at dmkettle08@gmail.com.
