Denman Kramer spreads joy wherever he goes. If you've visited a restaurant or supermarket in the Sauk
Prairie area over the past 30 years, you may have seen Denman, a retiree of Alliant Energy;s WP&L
subsidiary, twisting balloon animals for all the kids in sight. He always leaves home with his balloon
supplies, never wanting to miss an opportunity to make a kid-and adults-smile. The people of Sauk
Prairie call him "Dynamo the Clown." We call him a Hometown Hero.
We all have that energy that can make a difference. The personal energy of volunteering touches lives
and enriches our communities.

JEFFERSON AWARD
In 1972, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, Senator Robert Taft Jr. and Sam Beard founded the American Institute for Public Service. Their mission: to encourage individuals for their achievements and contributions through public and community service.
