The Heritage Area Agency on Aging recently celebrated key community supporters and volunteers. The May 28 event was held at the Kirkwood Center for Continuing Education on the south side of Cedar Rapids.

The event was the annual Heritage Agency Advisory Council Recognition of Service Awards. The yearly celebration honors extraordinary services and volunteers who have made a difference in the lives of older adults.

This year’s honorees were: Sally Donald-Benton County, Karen Dennis-Cedar County, Jan Weiss-Iowa County, Betty Kelly-Johnson County, Paul Behrends-Jones County, Judy Fries-Linn County, and Lola Marner-Washington County.

The Agency also honored area groups who contribute to a better quality of life for eastern Iowa seniors. Those honorees included a group of Kirkwood Community College Students–Laurie McVey, Tyler Reinhart and Sara Strotner; Witwer Senior Center; Rod Sullivan; Essence of Life Hospice; Bruce Teague and Caring Hands & More, Ivan Reihmann; and Myrt Bowers.
