Gayle Glumac Receives Hometown Hero Award
On Tuesday, July 16, 2024 Gayle Glumac was presented the Chamber of Commerce Hometown Hero Award.
Here are some of the public comments made by those in attendance.
Sarah Diel Kinkade – on behalf of the Jasper County Chamber of Commerce:
“This month’s award was presented to a very deserving, hardworking, dedicated, selfless, never say “No” Gayle Glumac. One of the deep secrets of life, is all that is really worth doing, is what we do for others, and that is Ms. Gayle. Gayle is an inspiration to many. She makes our town great.”
Mayor Joshua Kuhl:
“When I picture a Hometown Hero, I picture Gayle. To put all you do into one night or single speech, it cannot be done. You continually step up, do things that are not asked of you, and yet you are always there helping. Your dedication of all your free time to the school and children, Strong Boys and Strong Girls, Honey-Do Ministries, your church, your friends, the City of Newton and Jasper County is unmatched. Seeing your compassion behind every single thing you do is special. People like you are rare. There is no one more deserving to receive this award or better to represent the City of Newton and Jasper County. Hands down, this community is a much better place with you in it. Thank you, Gayle!”
Cathy Collins:
“The only fault Gayle has in her life is she cannot say “No”. She does not have that word in her vocabulary. Gayle has been my neighbor for 25 years and I am very proud to be her neighbor.”
Carolyn Ridgeway:
“I met Gayle at church. I had fallen last summer and did not have anyone to take me to the hospital. Gayle never missed a beat and was right there to help me every step of the way. She is a very hard worker and a very special friend to me.”
Congratulations, Gayle, on your well-deserved recognition!
