Centerville-Rathbun Lake Chamber of Commerce Banquet

Centerville, Iowa

By Michael Schaeffer-Managing Editor

Daily Iowegian 

Local businessman and community activist, Jon Schmidt, owner of Schmidt Family Funeral Home in Centerville, Iowa was named the Centerville Daily Iowegian Citizen of the Year.

The annual meeting was slowed a bit by a snowstorm and was shorter than usual because the guest speaker, University of Iowa head golf coach, Mark Hankins, was unable to attend.

Maxwell said the Citizen of the year was chosen for his ongoing commitment to the community, volunteer efforts and pride.

This individual has an obvious passion for the community projects and continued leadership and volunteerism is why this years judges have recognized this years winner from amongst a strong list of excellent nominees,  Maxwell said.  One nomination letter states, He is passionate about his community and takes pride in being active in a variety of community activities.

Schmidt said he could hardly believe he was named Citizen of the Year.

But this something I will truly cherish for the rest of my life, Schmidt said.  And I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

The Daily Iowegian since 1969 has awarded the Citizen of the Year to a deserving resident of Appanoose County, as nominated by fellow community members.
