Veteran of the Month: Don Payne

The Veteran of the Month is a monthly 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.

Don is one of a kind that enjoys doing for others even at the age of 90. He is very active with the VFW and the Commander of Worley Hall Post 6908. He served in the US Navy for 30 years/ 22 active duty and 8 reserve. He and his wife Wilma enjoy coming to the senior center and traveling on the trips. We appreciate his service! Congratulations, Don. You can nominate your favorite veteran for this honor with the form to the right.

Volunteer of the Month: Sherry Tester

The Volunteer of the Month is chosen by Johnson County Senior Center staff each month. Now we're giving you a chance to nominate a volunteer you feel has gone above and beyond in the past month. Share your suggestions in the form below.

Sherry has been a member of the senior center since 2018. She immediately began volunteering upon joining and has brought much musical excitement to the senior center. She is just so sweet we can't get enough of her! She started our Senior Jam program and also teaches a rudimentary music class for new beginners that has been very successful. We are sad to see it end but hoping this will lead to another program, an Old Fashioned Gospel Choir. She was also instrumental in the purchase of our new baby grand piano. We are so grateful Sherry shares her talent with us and brings music to our ears!
