Veteran of the Month: Ted Trivett

The Veteran of the Month is an award presented to a veteran chosen by members of the Johnson County Senior Center. The chosen veteran is recognized during the Veterans' Cafe (last Wednesday of each month) and awarded a plaque paid for by Johnson County Bank.

Volunteering with the Senior Center’s Meals on Wheels program since 2016, Ted served in the U.S. Army for 25 years. He and his wife Mary have been married for 52 years. In the past, Ted delivered letters as a mail carrier. Today he delivers meals for homebound seniors. His time in the service and volunteer work with the Center is much appreciated!

Volunteer of the Month: Harold Mastranunzio

Each month, the center honors a special volunteer (or volunteering couple) nominated by members of the Johnson County Senior Center for their service.

A member of the Senior Center since July 2020, Harold volunteers regularly with Meals on Wheels and MyRide Johnson County. Serving in the U.S. Marines during the Vietnam War,  Harold has a strong desire to help people in his community.

“I have always loved people,” Harold said. “The Senior Center gave me the option to give back in an organized, well-managed fashion. I have built a whole additional family and friends here.”
