Eight honorees were recognized by the Naperville Jaycees’ at their annual Distinguished Service Awards, held at CityGate Grille.
Honorees this year included Taylor Majher for Student Volunteer; Jim Schmid as Educator; Dr. Cathy Subber for Young Professional; Mark Ksiazek for Public Employee; Mike Reilly as Community Leader; Pat Bowler as Not-for-Profit Leader, and Clark’s Car Care in the Business category.
This year’s recipient of the Charles Bueche Lifetime Achievement Award was Dr. Kathy Birkett.
“Very few people have a job where everyday they get up and their very happy to go to work and I literally, for 35 years, have had that job,” said Birkett.
The Jaycees are a non-profit organization dedicated to personal development through community service. In the 36-year history of the awards, the Jaycee’s have honored over 300 individuals.
